    Wow, somebody is preparing for Fantasy Basketball. Anyway, I would like to give you the top 10 at each position:

    PG

    1) Dwayne Wade - He might not qualified for this position, but you can't argue about his number and his title. Now, if he can only shoot 3's...

    2) Gilbert Arenas - A recent injury at the World Basketball Tournament worries me a bit but he'll be alright, albeit he skips pre-season to rest his injury.

    3) Steve Nash - Having an healthy Amare would help his assist total more (not that he needs to).

    4) Chris Paul - The reigining ROTY is impressing at the tournament and could have a breakout season with Peja around.

    5) Jason Kidd - The most consistent player in this league is not showing his age one bit, but playing time could be cut with the arrival of Marcus Williams

    6) Chauncey Billups - If he can keep up with the assists, Billups will be alright.

    7) Mike Bibby - Clearly the leader of his team, his number should rise up in an lack-of-depth offense.

    8) Raymond Felton - Has a full year to learn this offense and taking over Brevin Knight as the starting PG should help him have a breakout season.

    9) Jason Terry - The benefit of the offense and a title run should help, but numbers will still be average at best.

    10) Baron Davis - Health has always been an issue, but when healthy, a top-10 PG.

    SG

    1) Kobe Bryant - Knee surgery has force him to put off basketball activities for the time being, but he'll be back when the season starts.

    2) Ray Allen - Still the best pure shooter around and getting more playing time w/o a formidable backup.

    3) Paul Pierce - Elbow surgery has force him to put off basketball for a month, but should be back with an offense that's still rebuilding.

    4) Allen Iverson - As long as Phily is not trying to trade him, he'll be alright, amist a tainted relationship.

    5) Vince Carter - His late playoff push should get him back to the elite soon.

    6) Jason Richardson - Still #1 on the team offense, he should improve now that he has the 3-point arsenal.

    7) Joe Johnson - Also qualified as PG, the arrival of Speedy Claxton should help Johnson get back into his normal role in the offense.

    8) Michael Redd - Super scorer who's only a scorer and nothing else.

    9) Josh Smith - Improving all around each year, especially on blocks.

    10) Gerald Wallace - All-around player that needs to be healthy.

    SF

    1) LeBron James -The most dominant player in the league. 'nuff said.

    2) Kevin Garnett - Also being known as a #1 pick, will have to do it all again with an rebuilding team.

    3) Shawn Marion - A small clone of Garnett, can do just about everything to help fantasy team win.

    4) Andrei Kirilenko - Injury-prone but still one of the best all-around player if healthy.

    5) Tracy McGrady - An injury-prone season shouldn't damper another great season from this kid, although his durability is in question.

    6) Ron Artest - Finally settling in Sac-Town, will get first full season in an lack-of-depth offense.

    7) Lamar Odom - Will continue to play second fiddle to Bryant and dedicating this season to his departed child.

    8) Rashard Lewis - A typical scoring forward that continues to progess well.

    9) Peja Stojakovic - A new team should help him get back his groove.

    10) Richard Jefferson - All-around who should benefit again from Kidd and Carter.

    PF

    1) Dirk Nowitzki - His lackluster play at the NBA finals shouldn't damper one bit.

    2) Elton Brand - Just getting better as an elite forward, despite his size.

    3) Chris Bosh - The arrival of T.J. Ford and playing in his natural position should help him get better numbers.

    4) Tim Duncan - Numbers are not eye-popping, but still a respectable fantasy player.

    5) Pau Gasol - Beside lack of minutes in a deep team, he should be alright for another great season.

    6) Amare Stoudamire - His potential for a rebound season is improving (20+ points per game in Vegas league should help).

    7) Jermaine O' Neal - Hope that rigorous off-season workout works for him.

    8) Rasheed Wallace - His numbers might drop w/ the absence of the other Wallace.

    9) Carlos Boozer - A trade would increase his value. Otherwise, it still the same in Utah.

    10) Dwight Howard - A premier double-double machine who could only get better.

    C

    1) Yao Ming - A foot injury won't keep him from playing this season and continues to do well this offseason.

    2) Shaquille O' Neal - Could be dominant at times and winning a title should help, but could a downside be on a horizon?

    3) Ben Wallace - A change of scenary shouldn't hurt his value.

    4) Zydrunas Ilgauskas - As LeBron continues to play well, the center should benfit more in the offense.

    5) Marcus Camby - A defensive force to be wrekon with, if only he could stay in the court for so long...

    6) Brad Miller - Despite a lack-of-depth, he should be alright.

    7) Chris Kaman - The presence of Brand will continue to benefit the long-hair center this season.

    8) Mehmet Okur - Give him the starting job and he'll excel right away.

    9) Emeka Okafor - Hope to put his injury behind him.

    10) Boris Diaw - Premier all-around player who should be getting playing time w/ Stoudamire back.
