    LeBron James has been rated No.4 small forward in the NBA. Weird seeing he starts at SG. Anyways here the link-

    http://www.insidehoops.com/nba-player-ratings-forwards.shtml

    1) Peja Stojakovic Sacramento 25.5 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 2.2 apg, 48.2 FG%, 92.8 FT%
    2) Ron Artest Indiana 18.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 3.9 apg, 41.9 FG%, 74.1 FT%
    3) Shawn Marion Phoenix 18.9 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 2.5 apg, 42.3 FG%, 87.6 FT%
    4) LeBron James Cleveland 20.6 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 5.7 apg, 41.0 FG%, 76.8 FT% (and rising)


    Carlos Boozer doesn't make the top 10 PF's. Damn its a good list!

    He does, but is a true center. Just like Wallace who played power forward until Rasheed went there.

    Oh yeah... that's right.
    I just forgot, sorry. But I would really used Rasheed as PF and Big Ben as center, cause Ben plays that position better than Rasheed, but it's up to pistons!

    Last night we seen the LeBron James of the weeks before all star break! Thats not good if you are wondering. He has had a great 4 game stretch where he has been very efficient and hasn't forced things or shot ill advised jumpers. I hope this is only a one off, and is back on his game to demolish these weaker teams we are facing!

    We need better shot selection out of the king. In order to do that we need to move the ball better also. This of course has improved with the addition of J-Mac, but it still needs to get better. I thought they moved the ball really well the second half of the Hornets game when Kapono was in there. Him being a shooting threat would help LeBron's game a lot if we could work him in there. Silas is boss though, not I.

    IMO, James is already better than Marion.

    James shot selection is poor because all his plays are ran threw isolation. He takes his defender 1 on 1 and everyone is watching him. Pick and roll needs to be in affect for him to get open looks from mid range.

    Both Boozer and Ilgauskas are poor at running pick and rolls which I guess is one reason we dont run it much. Eric Williams and Battie seem to be the only players capable of running the pick effectively!

    James has also proved he can play at least a 80 game season thats like 3 times what he played in high school and he doesnt seem to be letting up
