Week 1 Positional Rankings

What the hell; how about some actual fantasy basketball analysis? I've been asked to rank players for the other fantasy basketball blog I write for (WARNING: shameless self-promo time), DroppingDimes.com, so I figured I'd share my rankings for Week 1. Unfortunately, the positions don't account for MPE and as a result they are a little limited and some players may be listed incorrectly (we're getting the kinks ironed out).

Regardless, here they are. Misers, take some notes and then plug them into your stolen spreadsheet. Enjoy.

I am pleased to see that I have two "top ranked" players this week. This is almost as good as when Maverick did that unauthorized "fly-by" after shooting down those Russian MIGs.

Can we get Josh Brogan on here as a contributor?

God Mullets, your comments are welcome anytime. It helps me mildly understand how your sick head works.
