The NBA announced the top 100 stars next season! Teacher Jon Kha leads the top 20-KD falls

8:19am, 18 May 2025Basketball

From top MVP candidates such as Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to rising young stars such as Victor Wembanyama and Cade Cunningham, there are many talented players to be excited about next season's fantasy basketball.

But at the same time, the question is also here! How are elderly superstars such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and James Harden ranked in the rankings? How did Damian Lillard and Jason Tatum’s injury change things? Where will Cooper Flagg, the expected No. 1 pick in the NBA draft this summer?

The following is the NBA's premature rankings for the H2H Points League for the 2025-26 Fantasy Basketball season, and a special update from Flagg. Where should

Flag be ranked?

Flag spent a freshman season at Duke, leading the team in scoring, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks per game while leading his team to the semifinals. He is still only 18 years old and would have been a high school student last year if he hadn't entered college early. Flag possesses the size and skills to be an omnipotent striker. If, as the Dallas Mavericks have shown, he becomes a Mavericks moving forward, he will join a team with great big guys but lacks outside scoring and organizing abilities…especially in the absence of Kyrie Irving (ACL). Flag is in an ideal position to enter this vacancy, producing scores and even distribution from the flanks. Opponents may plan to stop Anthony Davis first, which should allow Flag to face a defense that is not entirely focused on him.

End of last season, after Irving and Davis were injured, Mavericks’ wing Najib Marshall stepped up and averaged 20 points, seven assists and four rebounds in March, establishing himself as a top 50 fantasy basketball man. Flag will take on the role and has very similar data advantages. He is currently considered to be ranked 37th in the early rankings,
