Power Forward Rankings (For the Stretch Run - 46 players deep)

Out of all the rankings you've had, I must say, I was kind of disapointed with this one. Look where you had Zach Randolph, and look at the other guys with him. There's no comparison on how much better Randolph is as a fantasy basketball player. Look at his numbers the last four games he's played. I liked the guard one a lot, but have more beefs with this one.

Luis Scola with in the same catagory as Zach, lol. Also, Gerald Wallace shouldn't be a great fantasy basketball option considering his history with concusions. Anyone know when he's gonna play again?

Scola is gonna be nice with Yao out. Did you watch him play for Argentina in the FIBA Americas tournament over the summer? He didn't back down at all to Team USA and took guys like Carmelo to school in the paint.

As far as their fantasy stats go, Scola's points and boards are going to be just slightly below Zach's I bet, whereas he's going to get a lot more steals and his FG% is going to be way better. Scola is shooting 53% for the season and 60% over the past month. THAT is where he'll be most valuable and Randolph couldn't even shoot 60% in his sleep.

Plus when you factor in Houston on a 15 game winning streak and trying to stay in the playoffs vs. the New York circus led by Isaiah, YES, I prefer Scola over Randolph down the stretch. Since you seem to think this is so laughable, how about we put money on it?

Zach Randolph > Luis Scola.... Doesnt matter that Yao's out, Zach is better than Scola and will be more consistant in Boards and points and FG% isn't that bad. All I'm saying is, in my opinion, you have a lot of problems with you fantasy options.

Luis Scola
(Hou - SF,PF,C) Ind BetterLuckyThanGood 107 105 7.3 .667 1.0 .750 0.0 - 15.7 1.3 7.0 1.3 1.7 0.0 3.3

Zach Randolph
(NY - PF) INJ Cle Mr Fluff Fluff 60 78 9.0 .486 5.5 .688 0.3 .333 23.5 3.0 12.5 4.0 0.0 0.5 2.0

This is last week's number from the both of them.. In 13 catagories in Fantasy Basketball, Zach Randolph was better in 10 out of 13. Also note, Yao Ming was out.

I would rather have Randolph any day over Scola.
When you gonna write me my check?

Also, I know these are opinion, and mine may be differnt than yours. I dont wanna make you feel like your blog sucks because it doesn't, I just disagree with some of it. Just remember, it's my opinion, just like you have yours. Keep posting because I have enjoyed the posts.

These rankings are for March 3rd till the end of the season, not for what's happened up to this point. Randolph missed Monday's game. Nice start. Who the hell uses 13 categories?

yahoo.

If these ranking are from now until here on out, WHY then must I ask, do you have Gerrald Wallace??? Is he even going to play again this year? Also, why the hell do you have Gerrald Wallace as PF?? He doesnt play PF.
AK at least PF every now and then and would play PF on any other team, but Wallace??? Come on man!

G-Wall played at the PF because Okafor was at C, J-Rich played at SF, Raymond Felton played SG while Jeff McInnis got PG. Now Wallace is hurt and McInnis got waived so the whole line-up is different. He did start at PF though, small line-up.

Not since they've had Nazr. The point I was trying to make was, it's fantasy basketball. It doesn't matter if they play the position or not, If they are listed at that position in fantasy basketball, then you can play them in your line up at that position. It's not real ball, if that makes since. Marion also played and plays PF, but in my opinion he's not PF. In Fantasy he is. The best players in fantasy are the guys that are listed at two or three positions as supposed to just one.

stick to yahoo then mickeyd!! lol... Randolph is a nice little disease!!!!!

By the way, where is AK 47 in this?

You consider AK 47 a power forward? He plays over 90% of his minutes at SF.

Also, were talking about fantasy basketball... If AK is listed at PF, it doesnt matter. Have you ever had a fantasy basketball team?

I can name four guys on your list that play most of their minutes as small forwards but also can play power. So why not AK? He plays PF againts small teams and it's his natural position. Why do you get to choose?

OK, go ahead and name 4 players then. Gerald Wallace? Nope he's played 40% of Charlotte's minutes at PF and just 26% at SF. Go here:

Click on "Fantasy" at the top of that page. Yep, that's me. Scroll down to the bottom. Perhaps "Earnings and Accomplishments" is what you're looking for?

Still havent answered my question on why AK is not a PF on your fantasy basketball opinion???? A lot of the guys on your list are PF/SF, so does that make them small forwards or power forwards.

I give you a pat on the back for earnings and accomplishments, but that's not impressive. Fantasy basketball has to do with pretty much luck that your top guys don't get injured, and that your scrubs will produce a lil bit more than expected on any given night.

If you looked around that site you would have seen that AK 47 plays 55% of Utah's minutes at PF and just 5% at SF, which has nothing to do with my "fantasy basketball opinion."

"Fantasy basketball has to do with pretty much luck"

I guess that's what the person who never wins says. I've won over 50% of my leagues and I finish "in the money" 90% of the time. Is that luck? I don't even follow baseball or football anymore, but when I did, I dominated those sports as well. If you put in effort and know how to analyze things, you can beat the people who don't 90% of the time. Luck always plays a small role in EVERYTHING, but it's not hard to beat "ordinary" people if you know what you're doing, in fantasy sports or anything else.

But whatever man. You say you're not impressed yet you keep asking me questions? Get the fuck outta here. Frankly, I can't believe you're Yardbarker's #3 NBA contributor. But I'm not going to waste my time going back and forth like this, so have a nice day!

I meant to say 55% at SF and 5% at PF, but your stupidity got me mixed up. Thanks.

I'm in three leagues now. I'm in first in two of them, and 2nd in the other. All I'm saying is that I beg the differ with your rankings and how you don't consider AK a fantasy basketball PF, because HE IS... Bottom Line.... I hope you pick Elton Brand up in one of your leagues, bucause after all, he's going to be pretty good to end the year.....ROFLMAO

Do you have anything current, as of this year?? I could care less about last years states when were 3/4ths of the way done with this year.

Scola had a good night tonight.

Yeah, I already know that Scola is gonna be nice the rest of the year and that Zach Randolph has been one of the most consistently overrated players (in reality & fantasy) for several years now. But please continue to give us daily comments on whether or not you're still lol'ing about the two of them being on the same level.

Zach Randolph > Luis Scola

Another thing to mention. You have Elton Brand on your list a head of some pretty descent fantasy guys. Drew Gooden and Antonia McBaby. Do you know what kind of injury Elton Brand suffered? Do you know what is potential is of becoming half of what he used to be since blowing out his freaking A Tednon????? Clippers aren't going to make the playoffs, so why do you think he's going to see more than 15 min at most a game for the rest of year if he comes back?
