Jason Very interesting results here, especially considering the source: Thaddeus Young at #4, Fazekas at #7, and Brewer at #24. -
mookie My only concern is, that for every "should have known better" in there, there is an aberation as well. For example, look how low Deron Williams is ranked. Look how highly Luke Jackson is ranked with comparison to Kevin Martin and Iguodala...

... Included below is a short list of candidates for the power forward position that would best complement Yao Ming and the Rockets new offense should they be available when Houston picks.
