Notes 
 Nikola Jokic remains the undisputed king of fantasy basketball, delivering an MVP-level performance every night. With 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9 assists per game last season, Jokic is the definition of a triple-double machine. His efficiency (58.3% FG, 81.7% FT) and ability to contribute in virtually every category, including 1.4 steals, solidifies him as a fantasy powerhouse. What separates Jokic from other elite players is not just his scoring, but his unique passing ability and court vision, allowing him to rack up assists at a rate unheard of for a center. He even adds value with low turnovers for someone who handles the ball as much as he does. Jokic is as reliable as they come-whether you're in a points league or roto format, he's the player who can carry your fantasy squad week in and week out. If you want consistency, versatility, and dominance, Jokic should be the unquestionable No. 1 pick in every draft format.
Joel E. Ruffin Jr. - FantasyPros
Joel Embiid's MVP season solidified him as the top center in fantasy basketball. With a dominant stat line of 34.7 points, 11 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game, Embiid was an absolute force on both ends of the floor. His elite shooting percentages (52.9% FG, 88.3% FT) are rare for a big man, and his defensive contributions (1.7 blocks per game) make him a valuable asset in any format. While there is always a slight injury risk with Embiid, his upside is unmatched when he's on the floor. He's a top-tier first-round pick, and the potential rewards far outweigh the concerns. Draft him confidently, knowing you're getting one of the most impactful players in fantasy.
