Category Rankings for 2019-20 Fantasy Basketball

Category rankings are something not often seen as a stand-alone piece, giving this article added value. Over the past couple of weeks, we have covered H2H, roto, points, and positional rankings. These are a fantastic tool when looking at a player’s overall fantasy value. However, managers will typically be chasing certain categories at some point during their draft. Whether it is a primary piece or simply a complementary asset, this ranking tool can help you with the category sorting feature. As a means of keeping the list manageable, I have limited it to the top-100 players in each category.

Steph Curry leads out as the top-ranked scorer, narrowly edging out James Harden. This is certainly open for debate with Harden the reigning scoring champion. Andre Drummond should, once again, lead the field in rebounding, with Steven Adams likely to be the big improver in my eyes. Trae Young is a very real chance of leading the league in assists despite it being just his second season. Lonzo Ball is someone to watch if he manages to stay healthy. Robert Covington leads the way in the steals category and could be in for another quietly strong season. Jimmy Butler and Paul George, both perennial challengers, are likely to make this a tough one to call. Mitchell Robinson is the clear favorite to pace the league in blocked shots. Given his numbers from the final two months last season, Robinson could put up lofty numbers. Curry is at short odds to lead the league in perimeter scoring in what could be an MVP caliber season.
