Fantasy rankings are inherently muddied this season. Kyrie Irving’s playing status is unclear for home games, LeBron James’ load management is subject to a shortened offseason and Joel Embiid’s point guard remains a mystery.

If Irving misses games, James Harden should jump to No. 2. But Stephen Curry was a dynamo last year and deserves a slight edge for that tour de force (even if Klay Thompson eats into his volume). The other obvious load-bearer is Paul George, who could put up massive numbers while Kawhi Leonard rehabilitates his ACL.

As far as going against consensus ADP, the flag is being planted for Trae Young. At 23, Young is coming off of a season in which he averaged 25.3 points and 9.4 assists. People may feel disheartened by his shooting splits (43.8 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from deep), but a Curry-esque ceiling is within reason and makes him worthy of a top-12 selection.
