You guys are wrong Dwight Howard is undraftable in Roto. In H2H he's a top 10 player and the number 1 Center that should be taken in the first round. If you get 1 point in a category in Roto it is nigh impossible to win. I don't believe for a minute that you won a league with Dhoward for roto. Please provide a link.

HH#21 has him
http://archive.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/2008/7615
Return of Ruffin has him, though you can say he quit since he only has 1 move

I drafted him and this is when I realized that he is undraftable and trade him for Yao Ming. Jumpman has him

Bogut on only 1 board?? He's the #2 scoring option on a weak team. I fhe stays healthy he'll be at least in the top 15

Tony Post 24, Oden is ranked higher than those 2 because Sheed is backup in BOS and Kaman is backup to Camby in LAC. Oden is starter for Portland and as long as he isn't in foul trouble should have better numbers this year compared to last year.

I jt looked at Okefors stats and the 44% fg and 52%ft shooting that hurts him and a roto team! So is the 14ppg 10RPG and 1.5BPG worth the hurt in FT% and FG% propbably not!

#14 Memphis has 3 guys that will get there shots before Randolph! Gay Mayo and Iverson! Randolphs PPG will go down this year and everyone on that team will be taking the shot when they get the ball because they all want their stats! Only grizzly I would Have is Rudy Gay! Gasol too I guess especialy at his ADP!

Why is a guy like emeka okefor not on this list? He is a 1100 800 125blck player! He is available at PF or C and plays for a new team with the best PG in the league!

Nea, so how do you explain Greg Oden ahead of Rasheed Wallace and Chris Kahman?

@Tony: these are most likely roto rankings. Yes, Randolph is pretty bad for roto because there's not much else besides points and rebs, and he averages more TO's than BLK+STL+3PT COMBINED, which sucks. No, it really does. It f**cking sucks. FG% is nothing special for a big man. Dwight is #12 because of horrible TO and FT%, although he is most likely top 5 in H2H if you know what you're doing.
