The following are Brian McKitish's personal rankings for the 2012-2013 fantasy basketball season. They are intended for the ESPN Standard game, which is a 10-team league comprised of a traditional starting five, an additional forward, an additional guard and three "utility" players who can qualify at any position, along with a three-man bench. The league uses rotisserie scoring for the following eight categories: points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, 3-pointers, free-throw percentage and shooting percentage. Last update: Oct. 29.
