Dropping Dimes is trying out a new feature. Fantasy 30 intends to rank all of the NBA teams in terms of fantasy power. A list like this tends to lead to a lot of disagreement and discussion, but the hope is that these rankings will be fluid and updated as the year goes on. Thanks to Ron Chow for the assist. In addition to publishing updates on the Fantasy 30, once in a while we hope to produce sister articles that focus on a specific team and its roster.
#1: Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant ranks as a top four fantasy player this year. The Lakers employ two fantasy-worthy starters for center in Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Lamar Odom has played well coming off the bench. Jordan Farmar has sleeper point guard potential, and the team also employs three-point threats like Derek Fisher and Vlad Radmanovic. All of this adds up to the Lakers being top dog early in the year.

Dropping Dimes’ Position Rankings: Shooting Guards
If you think about the recent and past winners of the NBA scoring title you will realize that the winner tends to be a shooting guard. As the position states, their key role is to, surprise, shoot. Standard shooting guards contribute in points only, however, there are a few special players that can help you build a fantasy team to dominate! While some others will play integral supporting roles in that domination.
For your viewing pleasure… the top 25 shooting guards in the fantasy game.
