InsideHoops.com fantasy basketball player ratings. We're doing this with points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals all equal to one point each. If your league counts shooting percentages and turnovers, use our ratings as your base, and then look up their other stats on our stats pages before making your decision.

We'll provide preview rankings for the 2005-06 NBA season.

Note that some players may be considered centers and/or forwards, in which case we will list them on both the centers page and the forwards page, ranked accordingly at the respective position.

This is an exact list of how centers have done so far this season.
