At the urging of a friend, I whipped up a list of the Top-50 keepers in fantasy basketkball.

These rankings are largely superficial and terrifically biased. I didn't get crazy working the numbers. Instead, I opted to eyeball the distribution of weight and nail everything to the wall as I went. One thing may not be level with the next, but I went back and tried to correct anything that was noticeably crooked.

As has become somewhat customary with fantasy projections, I extended my foresight to see through injuries, roles, age, and development to make a general projection of the players that I think will pay the greatest dividends if owned over the next three seasons.

You'll notice a rather unapologetic lean towards younger players. I'm a sucker for potential. Comments, ridicule, and critiques are welcome. Feel free to tell me how stupid I am for excluding your favorite player. I enjoy healthy debate.

Without further ado, I present my Top-50 Keepers
