NBA predicts the ranking of the top 150 stars next season: top teachers, James 16, Irving 132

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets: While players like Victor Vinbanyama may have greater potential, Jokic is still the safest choice for fantasy basketball under any match system.

Shay Kyrgyz-Alexander, Thunder: He may not be a triple-double threat like Luka Doncic, but SGA is a better two-way player and a more efficient shooter.

Victor Vinban Yama SAS: It is possible to be the best two-way player in the NBA this season, but his offense still needs some training.

Luca Doncic, LAL: After taking over the Lakers' offensive banner after trading from Dallas. It looks like he will appear in the 2025-26 season with a brand new body and mindset.

Cad Cunningham, Detroit: Going to a season, he jumped into the fantasy value of the first round during the Pistons' playoffs. It is possible that he has reached his usage limit, but better efficiency may be coming.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL: Free throw shooting percentage is still a problem, but with Damian Lillard no longer on the team, Antetokounmpo may be ready for his best season yet.

Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves: He is one of the most durable stars in the NBA and took his three-point shooting to the next level last year. To be truly a fantasy elite, he needs to increase his usage, efficiency or defense.

Anthony Davis, Dallas: As a top three fantasy player, this is not AD's strong point. But injuries continue to arise, and he is one year older this year.

James Harden, Los Angeles Clippers: Like Anthony Davis, Harden can be a top fantasy asset, but he is 35 years old.

Trey Young, ATL: One of the best sources of 20+10 performance in the NBA. Shooting efficiency may not always be high, but he is still young and has room to improve

Devin Booker, Phoenix: Without his own draft pick, the Suns have the motivation to make the playoffs, which may take the best year of Booker's career.

Stephen Curry, GSW: Age and injury risk make Curry rank lower than his potential. He can still play an elite fantasy season that rivals almost anyone.

Terresh Maxi, Philadelphia 76ers: There is uncertainty over the Philadelphia 76ers, who sometimes struggled last season. But he has proven to be one of the most efficient guards in the NBA and may now officially become the engine of the team's offense, given that Joel Embiid is unable to stay healthy.

Jaylen Williamson, OKC: Become an All-Star last season and is one of the more efficient two-way forwards in the league. The best case scenario is that SGA has made a slight regression, allowing Williams to further develop after the team won the 2025 championship.

Carl-Anthony Thompson, Knicks: It's not clear what the game plan for new coach Mike Brown is, but KAT may play more power forward this year. This may be good for the team, but it may also reduce his position in fantasy value. Anyway, he should have been selected in the first two rounds.

LeBron James, Lakers: LeBron does not seem to slow down. He will reduce the ball holding time when he has Luca Doncic on the court, but this may lead to higher efficiency and less wear.

Evan Mobley, Cleveland: Winning Defensive Player of the Year and making progress on offense, especially in three-point shooting and passing. If there is another leap, Mobley may reach the level of a first-round pick.

Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland: Last season did not reach the heights of two years ago, but Mitchell remains one of the best shooting guards in the NBA.

Kevin Durant, Rockets: KD has obvious first-round fantasy potential, but given his age and talent around him, the Rockets may ask him to reduce his playing time.

Sabonis is the best triple-double threat in our center position. There are still some questions about the future of Sacramento, but Sabonis feels stable.
