Common questions

Who is better in fantasy basketball, Andrew Wiggins or Fred VanVleet?

This one is close. Fred VanVleet grades out marginally ahead on total 9-cat value, but the gap is inside the noise of a projection, so take the one who fits your build.

How is the comparison calculated?

Per-game projections for 2026-27 converted to z-scores against the draftable pool, one per category, then totalled. A positive z means above the pool average in that category. No editorial judgement is applied.

Does this hold for points leagues?

Not necessarily. This page is 9-cat. Points leagues ignore the percentage categories and treat turnovers differently, which usually favours high-usage scorers. Switch format on the rankings page to see the other view.

What about injuries and minutes?

Projections already carry an expected minutes load, but they cannot price a player who is ruled out. Current status is shown beside each name, so check it before acting.
