So here we go - the overall rankings:

1. LeBron James - highest upside equals highest pick.
2. Shawn Marion - yes, number two.  it’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.
3. Kevin Garnett - Still a lock to finish in the top 5 and play 80 games.
4. Dirk Nowitzki - Fewer holes than Kobe means he gets the higher spot.
5. Kobe Bryant - Could battle LeBron for #1 … also could play 50 games.
6. Gilbert Arenas - East Coast assassin supposedly has a new focus on defense.
7. Elton Brand - Solid as a rock, great to match with a second round guard.
8. Dwyane Wade - In three games where he’s gotten real run this preseason, he’s attempted a total of 8 threes (good) - and only made 2 (bad).
9. Yao Ming - First C, biggest risk in first round.
10. Paul Pierce - Underrated, could be justified as high as 7.
11. Steve Nash - We love us some point guards, and he’s full of targets now.
12. Ray Allen - see Pierce.
13. Chris Paul - Sophomore slump?  We’d guess not.
14. Allen Iverson - How long can he keep it up?
15. Chris Bosh - Could be justified at end of the first round.
16. Andrei Kirilenko - must be paired with a low-risk, high-points player (like Wade).
17. Tim Duncan - he’s a steal this late.
18. Jermaine O’Neal - Injuries are a fact of life here.
19. Vince Carter - Contract year alert!!
20. Chauncey Billups - Will be counted on for major minutes - again.
21. Tracy McGrady - Highest risk/reward of the second round, great value in the third.
22. Jason Kidd - If only he scored more, but his value is sneaky good.
23. Joe Johnson - word on the street is more threes and less assists.  Fine with me.
24. Michael Redd - Solid in the third, but word is he may be scoring a bit less this year.
25. Lamar Odom - Will have his down games, but he’ll make up for it.
26. Carmelo Anthony - Can he improve yet again?
27. Jason Richardson - hard to draft a guy that’s hurt, but he says he’ll be ready opening day.
28. Mike Bibby - possibly a steal in the third.
29. Rashard Lewis - No frills, but solid filler.
30. Gerald Wallace - You feeling lucky?  I’m sorry, but this guy has bust written all over him.
31. Boris Diaw - I’m concerned about how Amare will affect his numbers, but no one else seems to share my concerns.
32. Rasheed Wallace - No longer a C, but should act more like one with Big Ben gone.
33. Ron Artest - Still gotta take a deep breath before drafting him.
34. Dwight Howard - Free throws, Dwight, free throws.  Only 54% in the preseason.
35. Stephon Marbury - Could be a steal here, could be a disaster.
36. Brad Miller - Good to pair with a low-assist PG like Arenas.
37. Amare Stoudamire - Someone will take the plunge before this, though.
38. Marcus Camby - Is he really any different from Amare?  But you’ll get him at least 5-10 picks later.
39. Richard Jefferson - A solid pick here, he gets a little lost in the shuffle.
40. Jason Terry - don’t draft him as a PG, because he’s not going to play like one.
41. Kirk Hinrich - Draft him as a PG and don’t look back.
42. Andre Miller - fine as a PG1, terrific as a PG2.
43. Zydrunas Ilgauskas - Terrific value here, but when will he start slowing down?
44. Ben Wallace - Could be a bust this year.
45. Josh Smith - Better bet to excel than Geral Wallace.
46. Peja Stojakovic - could provide much better value than this, but there are lots of question marks.
47. Raymond Felton - Breakout?  I say yes.
48. Mehmet Okur - I don’t know how this guy stays under the radar but he manages to do it.
49. Carlos Boozer - Not sure he’s an injury risk anymore.
50. Baron Davis - I’m shaking my head as I type his name.
