Big Board: Basketball

Kevin Durant , OKC, SF

Career highs included 50% FG, 2 3pm, 8 reb, 1.2 blk; still shy of 24th birthday

-

LeBron James , MIA, F

Delivered 3rd-largest FG% impact, was 4th in steals/g and 17th in assists/g

-

Chris Paul , LAC, PG

Deserves No.1 consideration for 9-cat roto, is nothing less than 1c overall

-

Kevin Love , MIN, FC

As good as anyone above when at his absolute best (see March '12 splits)

-

Dwyane Wade , MIA, G

Finished with per-game rank of 5th despite injuries and career-low minutes

-

Al Jefferson , UTA, FC

Set all-time mark with 5% TO rate; Millsap trade could mean usage uptick

-

Russell Westbrook , OKC, PG

8-cat monster raised FG% for fourth straight season while doubling 3pm/g

-

LaMarcus Aldridge , POR, FC

Cracked usage top 20 in 111-12, will be the true alpha for a rebuilt Blazers

-

Dwight Howard , ORL, C

Unlikely to sacrifice punt-FT% impact in almost any potential team scenario

-

Deron Williams , BKN, PG

Career-high 2.1 3pm but just 41% FG (17.5 FGA); where does he land?

-

Paul Millsap , UTA, PF

Defensive #s moved impact from great to elite; 2.2 stl, 0.9 blk over final 35 G

-

Kyrie Irving , CLE, PG

Nothing but superlatives; ROY finished 26th in per-game with just 31 mpg

-

Kyle Lowry , HOU, PG

Easy to forget that he was top-10 before battling the bacterial infection

-

Andrew Bynum , LAL, C

Most notable of his career highs was 35 mpg; trade to ORL would be ideal

-

Josh Smith , ATL, F

Career usage and offense with Horford shelved; on his way out of ATL?

-

Al Horford , ATL, FC

Back-to-back top-15 seasons before pectoral injury cost him most of 11-12

-

Kobe Bryant , LAL, SG

Second-highest usage of his career at age 33; team headed for changes

-

Dirk Nowitzki , DAL, PF

Another year older and roster will change, but impossible to doubt Dirk

-

Pau Gasol , LAL, FC

Versatile game easily adaptable if he did happen to be traded from LAL

-

Ty Lawson , DEN, PG

Unheralded top-25 season; prototype for "doesn't hurt you anywhere"

-

James Harden , OKC, GF

Doesn't need starter's minutes for huge impact, but it's a sweet dream

-

Nicolas Batum , POR, GF

Undeniable top-10 ceiling and team rebuild sets stage for unquestioned role

-

Serge Ibaka , OKC, FC

Delivered fantasy's largest positive (3.7 blk) with a repeat of just 27 mpg

-

Rudy Gay , MEM, F

Safe, consistent floor and still holds that 3pm/stl/blk upside potential

-

Mike Conley , MEM, PG

Essentially a two-category specialist, but elite steals are hard to come by

-

Marcus Thornton , SAC, GF

Thrived in team's three-guard look; completely healthy season is final frontier

-

Paul George , IND, GF

Per-36s included 1.7 3pm, 2 stl, 0.7 blk; give this man starter's minutes!

-

DeMarcus Cousins , SAC, FC

Will be true monster if he cuts fouls further and improves on 57% FG at rim

-

Paul Pierce , BOS, GF

Celtics could look drastically different, with Pierce in line for serious usage

-

Ryan Anderson , ORL, FC

Per-36s barely changed during breakout, but D12 trade could be trouble

-

Greg Monroe , DET, C

Late swoon took some shine off otherwise stellar sophomore season

-

Brandon Jennings , MIL, PG

Season's biggest surprise started strong and finished even stronger

-

Kevin Garnett , BOS, FC

Move to C proved to be a statistical boon; does UFA return to Boston?

-

Marc Gasol , MEM, C

Production won't fall far if he stays close to his career-high 37 mpg

-

Danilo Gallinari , DEN, SF

Massive through 25 games, then injuries hit; deep squad could cap mpg

-

Carmelo Anthony , NYK, F

Melo's usage seems safe, but hard to think it'll be anything but bumpy ride

-

Manu Ginobili , SAS, GF

How many minutes will Pop give him in his age 35 season? (23 mpg in 11-12)

-

Danny Granger , IND, F

Another drop-off in FG%, steals, blocks; change of scenery coming?

-

Andre Iguodala , PHI, GF

No doubt an impact player but requires special handling (12.4 pts, 62% FT)

-

Joe Johnson , ATL, G

Ups and downs produced another top-35 finish but doesn't inspire confidence

-

Ersan Ilyasova , MIL, PF

Second half flurry paves way for fat free agent contract and major role

-

Stephen Curry , GSW, PG

Currently rehabbing after Apr 25 surgery; your top risk/reward pick for 12-13

-

David Lee , GSW, FC

Will face competition from (a healthy) Bogut for post touches and boards

-

Marcin Gortat , PHO, C

How far will his offense fall without Nash feeding him on the pick and roll?

-

Nene Hilario , WAS, FC

Back at center and with a more substantial role for the Wizards

-

John Wall , WAS, PG

Huge 8-cat boost; anemic jumpshooting is key to roto improvement

-

Anthony Davis , Rookie

Offense needs work, but boards, steals, and blocks will transfer immediately

-

Joakim Noah , CHI, C

Overcame early-season issues to arrive at familiar production level

-

Blake Griffin , LAC, PF

Massive roto drag is no slouch as a punt-FT% foundation (but dwarfed by Howard)

-

Chris Bosh , MIA, FC

Two seasons in MIA have produced per-game ranks of 41st and 43rd

-
