PG- Williams- Calderon is good, but he isn't on the level that Deron Williams is. I will agree with this one.

SG- Jason Richardson, Charlotte. He is a solid scorer who averages 20+ PPG, he gets more than 5 rebounds per game and is a good passer. He can shoot too, and actually has a better three-point % than Martin, shooting .410 on threes.

SF- Andre Iguodala, Philadelphia. He is a great all around player who plays very good defense, and is sixth in the NBA in steals. He scores 19.6 per game, gets more than five rebounds per game, and is a very good passer who averages almost five assists a game.

PF- Al Jefferson, Minnesota. Big Al is a very good post player who averages a double-double with more than 21 points and 11 rebounds, and also averages more than one block. He is also second in the NBA in offensive rebounds with four a game. Jefferson is also a good passer.

C- Marcus Camby, Denver. Camby is arguably the best defensive player in the NBA. He averages nearly 14 rebounds per game, and averages an outstanding 3.9 blocks per game, which leads the NBA. Camby can score when asked to, and is also a good passer with 2.9 assists per game. Last year, he was NBA defensive POY.

Kevin is good, but he does have help. Artest scores 19.9 and Miller scores 14 a game. Richardson is a better 3 point shooter percentage wise, and he is a very good all around player who does average more assists than Martin.

I can agree with this, although Iguodala does average more assists than Wallace. Overall, it is very, very close.

Smith might be a better defender, but Al does get rebounds. You need your PF to be a strong post player, and I feel that Big Al is a much better player in the post than Smith. Jefferson can bang with the big guys, and is a better scorer for what that's worth.

Kaman is good, but he is not on the level of Camby. Camby does only average less than one block more, but that is a lot in BPG, while Camby averages more rebounds. He doesn't need to socre with AI and Melo, but he can score when necessary. Until Kaman wins a defensive player of the year award or leads the league in blocks, I give the edge to Camby, who has been consistent for a while.

I wouldn't say that Matrin is a much more prolific scorer. J-Rich does averages 20.9 PPG. Martin may be a better free throw shooter, but if Richardson can make more threes than Martin, those basically offset. J-Rich is the more complete player who averages more rebounds, assists, steals and less turnovers than Martin. Martin is a great scorer and very good player, but J-Rich brings more to the table than he does.

With Camby or Kaman playing down low, you are going to need another big guy who can score and can bang in the post. For what it is worth, Jefferson does score more than Martin. Jefferson averages three more rebounds than Smith and is second in the league in offensive rebounding. There is enough scoring, so rebounding is a must. Jefferson is the better rebounder, and by getting so many offensive rebounds, Jefferson is able to keep possessions alive and give more chances to score, which Smith can't do.

Kaman is good, but this is his first year that he has really stepped up. Camby is the Defensive Player of the Year and has shown that he is consistentely a great defensive player. You say he can't score, but Camby actually has higher career scoring and rebounding averages.
