Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the power forward position going into the 2016 NBA fantasy draft season, courtesy theScore's team of fantasy experts (▲: player is trending upward; ▼: player is trending downward):

Will Anthony Davis reclaim the top fantasy player crown?

Potter: There are simply too many obstacles in his way, the least of which being his own injury history. Russell Westbrook might average a triple-double. James Harden will combine his high-usage style with Mike D'Antoni's up-tempo system. Fellow athletic bigs like Karl-Anthony Towns are improving every month. On a per-game basis, Davis could be number one. Overall? He'll probably finish between fifth and 15th overall.

Wilson: He could, but he won't. The pool is too deep and the injury risk is too great. Davis has never played more than 68 games in a season. Granted, the games he has played have been elite, but everyone else going in the opening rounds of drafts has demonstrated much greater durability. The only way he is the top player in fantasy is if he finally plays close to a full season.

Ghatak: Quite possibly. Davis' main competition this year will likely be Russell Westbrook, as it seems inevitable that Steph Curry's will see a significant dip in production. Though Davis has dealt with a handful of injuries, his consistent 20-and-10 production is a rarity, and the 23-year old even added the 3-pointer to his game last season, attempting 1.8 long balls per game. If he stays healthy, he'll either finish first or second behind Westbrook.

Does the addition of Pau Gasol hurt or help LaMarcus Aldridge?

Potter: The Spurs lost Tim Duncan and David West in the offseason - a net loss of 43.2 minutes, 12.9 points, 11.3 rebounds per game. At this point, Gasol one of the best passers in the league for a big man and he's added more consistent range to his shot. I think his skill set will prove to be complimentary to Aldridge's, allowing the latter to improve upon his 18-and-nine averages from last season.

Wilson: Both scenarios are true. Gasol will hurt Aldridge's value and vice-versa. Both will have their top games, but it will be fairly difficult to predict, rendering them too risky to rely on in DFS. For season-long, the cannibalization of production likely means that both are drafted higher than where they should be taken.

Ghatak: Gasol's presence will definitely hurt Aldridge's fantasy output; it's why I've selected him as my 'Dud' for the year. I wouldn't expect to see much of Gasol and Aldridge on the floor together, so getting both of them 30 minutes a game seems difficult. Furthermore, Gasol's offensive game alone should eat into Aldridge's potential production.

Where do you feel comfortable drafting Chris Bosh?

Potter: There are a lot of quality players eligible at PF this year; it's hard to justify taking Bosh when starting-caliber veterans like Zach Randolph are still on the board. Bosh might never play again. But when healthy, he averaged 20-and-seven in two years post-LeBron; if he comes back and plays just 40 games, he'll bring a massive return on investment. I'll take him in round 10.

Wilson: I'm keeping my eye on Bosh's status heading into drafts. There is plenty of risk but the potential for late-round upside is intriguing. Unless you were just waking from a coma that lasted the entire 2015-16 season, you know Bosh is damaged goods - and so does everyone in your draft. If he slips past the 12th round, he has to be taken. If he goes any earlier, it's basically name recognition guiding the selection.

Ghatak: Considering I doubt Bosh's ability to ever play again, I don't feel comfortable drafting him anywhere. While he possesses better theoretical value than some late-round fliers, getting 10 or 20 games from Bosh doesn't entice me enough to draft him. I could roll dice in the finals three rounds of the draft, but I'd rather take a shot on 60 to 80 functional games from another flier.
