Here’s a look at my 2010-11 fantasy power forward rankings.
.

  1. Amar’e Stoudemire:  I’m expecting big things in New York.
  2. Pau Gasol:  Proved he’s more than just Kobe’s sidekick.
  3. Dwight Howard:  FT% keeps him from being #1.
  4. Brook Lopez:  Does everything well.
  5. David Lee:  Should still put up big numbers with Golden State.
  6. Chris Bosh:  Numbers take a hit teaming with LeBron and Wade.
  7. Zach Randolph:  Always seems to produce despite being overlooked.
  8. Andrea Bargnani:  Should be focal point of Toronto’s offense.
  9. Al Jefferson:  Great fit in Utah.
  10. Tim Duncan:  Doesn’t produce like before, but still a quality #1 center.
  11. Carlos Boozer:  Health is his only issue.
  12. Kevin Love:  Could be huge if Minnesota uses him properly.
  13. Al Horford:  Not a sexy pick, but a great foundation.
  14. Marc Gasol:  Made great strides last year. Could be even better.
  15. Nene Hilario:  Injury issues seem to be behind him.
  16. LaMarcus Aldridge:  Could lose production if Oden ever plays.
  17. Andray Blatche:  Arenas’s return should hurt his scoring.
  18. Troy Murphy:  Move to New Jersey shouldn’t hurt his value.
  19. Paul Millsap:  Would have ranked him higher if Big Al wasn’t there.
  20. Joakim Noah:  Boozer’s arrival will hurt his production.
  21. Marcus Camby:  Health plus crowded frontcourt could be issues.
  22. Chris Kaman:  Clippers will have more scoring options this year.
  23. Channing Frye:  Big three-point lift from center position.
  24. Luis Scola:  Should continue to develop into solid big man.
  25. Andrew Bynum:  If only he could stay healthy.

Here’s a look at my 2010-11 fantasy power forward rankings.
.

  1. Amar’e Stoudemire:  Numbers should be ridiculous with Knicks.
  2. Dirk Nowitzki:  Dallas is looking to lighten Dirk’s load.
  3. Pau Gasol:  Bynum’s injury woes help Gasol’s numbers.
  4. Danny Granger:  More of a SF, but has PF eligibility.
  5. Gerald Wallace:  Would be higher if he didn’t miss so many games.
  6. David Lee:  Landed on his feet in Golden State.
  7. Josh Smith:  Stuffs the stat sheet, but a little light in points & boards.
  8. Chris Bosh:  LeBron & D-Wade will take some of his scoring.
  9. Zach Randolph:  I expect a little drop-off.
  10. Andrea Bargnani:  Should be more productive w/o Bosh.
  11. Al Jefferson:  Also landed on his feet with Utah.
  12. Tim Duncan:  Slowing, but still rock solid.
  13. Rudy Gay:  Better used as SF, but like the versatility.
  14. David West:  Quietly gives you 19 & 8.
  15. Carlos Boozer:  Out 8 weeks with broken hand. Should be big when he returns.
  16. Kevin Love:  Big time rebounder if he gets enough PT.
  17. Al Horford:  Shoots well from the line for a big. Great rebounder.
  18. Nene Hilario:  Will have bigger role if Melo leaves.
  19. LaMarcus Aldridge: Steady, but could suffer if Greg Oden ever plays.
  20. Andray Blatche:  Averaged 22 ppg after AS Break.
  21. Troy Murphy:  Should put up big numbers (when healthy) in NJ.
  22. Paul Millsap:  Should put up big numbers with Boozer gone.
  23. Rashard Lewis:  Could lead in 3s with PF eligibility.
  24. Joakim Noah:  Solid, but less spectacular with Boozer in town.
  25. Antawn Jamison:  Not many options with LeBron gone.
