This is intended for all the team owners involved in the Game Peak City fantasy hoops league on Fantrax. If you’re someone else coming across this and wondering what the heck it is, just check out Welcome to Game Peak City!

It’s May, and that means the end of season (custom) player rankings are finished! Below you’ll find a list of the top 200 players, based on the Game Peak Mode scoring format. Like last season, these rankings take into account the players’ season averages AND their peak scoring output each week. The added piece to it this time around is calculating their z-scores for each group of data and averaging them. I also included additional information in the columns on the right side, which didn’t directly affect rankings but can be very useful.

Annual reminder: since the league’s inception, John Hollinger’s Game Score formula (a simpler, linear version of PER) is what we’ve used for fantasy scoring in Game Peak City, and a Game Score of 10 is considered average. Scoring 20 is considered a very solid game. Breaking 30 is hard to do.

Nikola Jokic took the top spot this season, after a truly phenomenal year with a 30.11 season average (he even averaged a triple-double). Last year, Joel Embiid had an impressive feat of recording 30+ fantasy points in half of his outings, but as amazing as that was, the Joker actually surpassed that this year (51.4%). The man missed 12 games and still easily separated himself from the rest.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was in a tier all his own at number 2, scoring a 20 or better in every single week of the regular season. He’s the only player in the entire league to do so this year.

Not surprising that we see the two finalists for MVP sitting at the top of these rankings. Also not surprising that Giannis Antetokounmpo finished third for the second year in a row.

And without further ado, here are your top 200 players from this past season:

A few players finished outside the top 200 but had a 10.0 or better season average: Mo Wagner, Jared McCain, and Malcolm Brogdon (Tolu Smith did too but he only played in one game so I’m not counting him).
