2026-27 NBA Season · 9-Cat

Fantasy Basketball Rankings

Projected 9-cat value, punt-aware rankings, and sortable draft prep data. Ball Ranks ranks 496 NBA players on this board.

How this board is built

Ball Ranks' projection model is built by AI: frontier AI models propose changes to how players are projected, each one is replayed against 15 completed NBA seasons, and only the changes that hold up are kept. Changes that failed are kept on the public record next to the ones that worked, so the board is auditable rather than a black box.
