I think he overvalues scorers. Guys like Rip Hamilton, Vince, Pierce, etc.

Yeah it's a homer post, but no. He's fairly efficient (due to getting to the line and a good 3 point shot) and he's a very good rebounder for his size.

Plus, I wanted an excuse to use basketball-reference's stat search stuff. I did a search for the rebound rates for forwards between 6'4" and 6'8" (6'9" had too many power forwards come up) who played >10,000 minutes total over the past 6 seasons (I wanted to weed out scrubs but not weed out guys like Lebron who've only played for 3 or 4 years) who are still active.

Check it out: link

Click the show/hide search terms to see what I entered. Feel free to tinker with it. I'm not trying to claim it's perfect, but it gives you a reasonable idea of where a guy like Pierce or T-Mac stands when it comes to rebounding.

I agree with everyone about Boozer. He should be a top 10er probably.

Disagree with those that think Kidd is overrated. A PG who protects the ball, plays decent enough D and can snag 1.5 steals a game, and on top of that, pull down 8 fricking boards a game is very valuable.

Rumor has it he's considering retirement after already locking up his place in the HOF and a spot on the Top 50 All Time list.

I stopped reading after Tony Parker was ahead of Gilbert.

I do agree with Bosh and Stoudamire being ranked higher than D-Howard for the 07-08 year, he isn't nearly the polished players those those two are (obviously he is/going to be insanely good)

Pretty insane that Yao isn't in the top ten, no?

If he can play 75+ games he's in the top 7 or 8 or so. He's played 57 and 48 his past two seasons.
