Baron should be in there over Redd as well. Dwight Howard, hands down, gets my nod at 20.

Good players have the ball in their hand a lot, and as a result usually put up large turnover values. In H2H, I expect the best teams to probably be losing TOs most weeks unless their first few picks are all low-turnover guys like Shawn Marion. And as an Arenas owner, this hurts too. 3 Months makes it so very difficult to hang onto him, but like Brand he'll probably come back and in high value at the end of the season.

Boozer's FT is only 5% above his career avg, so I don't think that will regress too much. I'd be slightly more concerned about the 0.8 blocks he's putting up which is not likely to last since it's more than double his average from last year, so I'd probably give the nod to Pierce, who is doing a bit of everything. soopahpit: I keep hearing about D. Howard's "potential" improved FT shooting. Sure, he has a couple of 13-for-16 games this year, but that is not making up for his 10-for-20 and 7-for-freakin'-16 games. He's under 63% for the year on nearly 11 attempts per game. That's fantasy poison. I say Pierce or Boozer for #20.

Boozer's FT% should regress Kirilenko's Asts should regress Kaman's pts,reb,FT% should regress I suspect Pierce's FG% will hold steady unless Allen or Garnett get injured Billups is doing nothing out of the ordinary, just his usual underrated top 20 stats. In TO leagues, Josh Howard is definitely the one to add to your top 20. Candidates for #20 in non-TO leagues:

Any views on whether he'll bounce back to become a force once again? Gasol, who many had picked in the first-seocnd round in their drafts, has been a big disappointment.
