John Wall is the consensus #1 rookie off the board in fantasy drafts this year…well redraft leagues anyways, he has elite potential and will be an all-star calibre point guard.

However as my projections indicate I make the argument that DeMarcus Cousins will be just as valuable if not more valuable than John Wall.

The most interesting thing I found about putting together these rankings/projections was how highly I thought of Larry Sanders, Greg Monroe and Greiviz Vasquez.

These are the top-15 for dynasty league managers.

Wall
