Notes 
 Nikola Jokic brought home the trophy for Denver as well as finishing as the Overall No. 1 player in both points and categories leagues. He averaged 24.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game. He should be the No. 1 pick, and it's not particularly close.
Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
Only one player outscored Joel Embiid last year and chances are good that Nikola Jokic will be off the board before any fantasy manager has to make this choice. The 29-year-old averaged 33.1 ppg and added 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists. He has a solid claim to being the second most valuable fantasy player over Giannis Antetokuonmpo due to his defensive contributions. Embiid gets a small nick for James Harden's trade demands leaving question marks around who his supporting cast may be heading into the season.
