Point Guards | Rk | Player | Pos | Team | 2007 Notes | | 6. | Steve Nash | PG | Phoenix | 18 points, 11+ Assists? Impressive. Percentages (53% FG – 90% FT – 45% 3pt)? Unmatched. | | 7. | Gilbert Arenas | PG | Washington | Scoring (28.9 PPG) and Threes (2.8 3PM/G) not the only things Agent Zero does well… how about 5 Boards, 6 Assists and 2 Steals? | | 10. | Chris Paul | PG | New Orleans | Great ’06, averaging 17 pts, 9 Ast and 2 Stls… All of that WITH a sore foot and WITHOUT Peja. | | 13. | Jason Kidd | PG | New Jersey | No more wondering if he’s lost a step… Kidd is a triple-double machine. | | 17. | Chauncey Billups | PG | Detroit | Mr. Big Shot is like a fine wine, getting better with age… 17 points, 7 assists and countless game changing plays in ’06. |
View Complete List Shooting Guards | Rk | Player | Pos | Team | 2007 Notes | | 2. | Kobe Bryant | SG | LA Lakers | Look for another 30-5-5 season plus threes, steals and an occasional block. Fantasy player’s dream. | | 11. | Dwayne Wade | SG | Miami | One of the most explosive players in the game sidelined to start the season (shoulder surgery)… Great upside getting a guy like this late 1st or early 2nd. | | 16. | Paul Pierce | G, F | Boston | With the cavalry arriving in Beantown, Pierce’s 26 PPG could take a hit. But, look for his assists and FG % to rise at the same rate. | | 18. | Andre Iguodala | G, F | Philadelphia | Only thing missing from his arsenal is Threes (0.6/game)… Makes up for it with 18-6-6, plus 2 steals per outing. | | 19. | Vince Carter | G, F | New Jersey | Appears to be healthy and rejuvenated in 2+ seasons with the Nets… Averaging about 26-6-5 since the trade. |
View Complete List Small Forwards | Rk | Player | Pos | Team | 2007 Notes | | 3. | Lebron James | SF | Cleveland | Improved a part of his game every season… Here’s to hoping this year it is FT’s (69.8% in ’06). | | 4. | Shawn Marion | F | Phoenix | #’s dropped off slightly, but Marion still filled up the box score (1 Trey, 2 Blocks, 1.5 Steals) | | 16. | Paul Pierce | G, F | Boston | With the cavalry arriving in Beantown, Pierce’s 26 PPG could take a hit. But, look for his assists and FG % to rise at the same rate. | | 18. | Rashard Lewis | SF | Orlando | With Dwight Howard cleaning up down low, Lewis should be able to improve on his already impressive 22 PPG and 2.5 3PM/g. | | 19. | Andre Iguodala | G, F | Philadelphia | Only thing missing from his arsenal is Threes (0.6/game)… Makes up for it with 18-6-6, plus 2 steals per outing. |
View Complete List Power Fowards | Rk | Player | Pos | Team | 2007 Notes | | 1. | Kevin Garnett | PF | Boston | Dominated his position in the West… who in the East can stop him? | | 4. | Shawn Marion | F | Phoenix | #’s dropped off slightly, but Marion still filled up the box score (1 Trey, 2 Blocks, 1.5 Steals) | | 5. | Dirk Nowitzki | PF | Dallas | Fewer 3-balls in ’06 helped him to 50% on his FGs. There is now nothing Dirk can’t do. | | 12. | Tim Duncan | PF | San Antonio | Nearly a lock for 20-10 and 2+ Blocks, but weighs you down significantly in the FG% category (63.7% in ’06). | | 15. | Chris Bosh | PF | Toronto | Whether or not he qualifies as a center, I will take his 22-11-2… Athletic ability shines through in Toronto’s fast paced Offense. |
View Complete List Centers | Rk | Player | Pos | Team | 2007 Notes | | 8. | Amare Stoudemire | C | Phoenix | Showed his knee was 100% playing all 82 games during an impressive 20-10 season, not to mention a steal and nearly 1.5 blocks/game. | | 9. | Yao Ming | C | Houston | Love 25-10-2 including 86% from the line from the center position, but health has to be questioned after last two seasons. | | 14. | Pau Gasol | C | Memphis | Played only 59 games, but all were at Center… 20-10-3 plus 2 blocks, imagine what he could do with some help under the basket. | | 23. | Marcus Camby | C | Denver | Human double-double also combined for over 4.5 steals/blocks per game last season… More amazing? He managed to play in 70 games. |
