I assume you must have left him off for a reason? otherwise, pretty solid big board imo... good stuff gents. where is McGrady on your big board? I assume you must have left him off for a reason?

He's young and is going to get better. Primarily because he can’t shoot, although 40 might be a bit harsh for Smith. He’s young and is going to get better.

Lebron's FT% is a killer and it will continue to be unless he takes steps to improve it (which doesn't appear to be high on his global icon priority list). He finished last year ranked #5 on the rater (primarily due to the FT% and TOs) and I ranked him at #4 (behind Paul, Kobe, and Amare). I honestly believe, if he stays healthy, that's where he finishes next year. I don't feel quite as strongly about Marion/Garnett. I had KG ranked above Marion at first, but switched them at the last minute because I think with a healthy Wade on a non-tanking team, Marion will play a whole lot better than he did to finish the year on the Heat. We know exactly what were going to get from KG this year and I think Marion's upside is a little higher. Marion was the best fantasy player in the league as little as 2 years ago. Camby's recent health and performance speaks for itself, although he does have less value in leagues that don't count turnovers. That is a point that we should have made. Tunez. I could have described the board a little better. The first column labeled "Rank 08-09" is the average score of Nels and I. The players are also sorted in the order of that score. And oh yeah, there is definitely going to be another Ultimate Fantasy Buffett this season. I had a lot of fun doing that last year.
