Yahoo has Bosh at 13.On ESPN he's 36th???
Paul is number one at yahoo and number 4 at ESPN with Kobe being their number one?
Weird to see such a variance on a guy like Bosh however.Yahoo also has Dwight Howard farther down and at ESPN he's top 10???

How much is ESPN scoring different from Yahoo (if any)?
Yahoo:
Chris Paul deserves to be No1. 20-10 point guards who dont turn the ball over dont grow on trees. 4 guys finished with more than 10 assists per game last season - Paul, Nash, Derron Williams and Kidd. The other three turned the ball over 3.6, 3.4 and 3.3 times per game - Paul turned the ball over 2.5 times. However you could make a pretty darn good case for Kobe Bryant. Those two guys are 1 and 1a. Bron should be 3.
Bosh is actually 12 on Yahoo (not 13 - that's not important anyways). Hmm that's about right so I dont know why ESPN would rank him so low. This is a guy without a glaring weakness in his game. What is there not to like about a guy who will give you 20-10 on nightly basis as well as 2+ blocks a game. Oh yeah and lets not forget that he shoots 49% from the floor and 84% from the charity stripe. Not bad at all.
Here are some things I like about Yahoo's rankings:
1. Camby at 17 - none of that top 10 bullshit like last year, he isnt a top-10 player, period. 3 steals and 3 blocks a game is nice but you can pick guys later on who will help you there (you can grab Josh Smith 8-10 picks later and he wont hurt you offensively).
2. T-Mac at 77 - good, I kinda expected him to be top-50, maybe even top 40.
3. Barbosa at 84 - last year he was in 30-40 range lol
Here are some things I dont like about Yahoo's rankings:
1. Danny Granger at 11 - he isnt top 20 (maybe next season), 19-6-2 with 2 steals and 1 block - does have upside but those aren't 1st rounders numbers. will need to really breakout to justify that ranking.
2. Dwight Howard at 38 - if Camby is at 17 then Howard should be only few spots behind him
3. Biedrins at 51 - no thanks, if I want a 10-10 guy I'll just take Al Horford 15 picks later or Tyson Chandler some 20+ picks later.

I think ESPN standard leagues only start one C and don't count TOs.

OK, so I can see why they would have Paul at 4. The advantage he has over other top-8 / top-10 players that he doesnt turn the ball over much considering he's a point guard.
Big knock on Howard is that he turns the ball over 3-4 times a game. That's pretty much the only flaw in his game. Is he top-10 without TOs? Probably not but he's not too far away either.

Didn't see the lack of TO's at ESPN. Accepted an invite this morning just before going to work.It was surprising to see such a huge variance.
darko= Bosh moved up 1 place since i did the Yahoo draft.
