    Who would you rather have in fantasy basketball Dwight Howard, Elton Brand, or Carlos Boozer?Dwight Howard- Averaging 18 points per game and 12.5 rebounds per game and has huge upside and incredible athletic ability, also the double double machineElton Brand-Not having his greatest season but still good at 20 ppg and 9 rebounds with potential to have huge gamesor.....Carlos Boozer- Having a career year at 22 ppg and 12 rebounds and is guaranteed double digits everygame.Tough decision I have Howard and am thinking about trading him for one of these too but I would like to see how you guys rank them at 1-3

    I moved this to Basketball Misc for you.Anyways, it kind of depends on what your needs are, but the best overall player in my opinion is Elton Brand. He gets you much better point production than Howard, his rebounding numbers are solid, but most importantlt he'll get you more blocks than both of them, especially Boozer who only has 13 on the season.My order would be...1. Brand2. Howard3. Boozer

    o ok well thanks ya I thought boozer was a better shot blocker than that but ya I'm in fantasy and I have really good forwards howard butler deng o neal patterson wilcox and jefferson but I need 1 more solid forward because of the absence of jefferson and his injury. I'm thinking about trading deng and someone else for either boozer or brand

    Like LightsOut said, it really depends on what your team needs. If your team is a good shot blocking team already, then this is the order that I would go with.1. Carlos Boozer2. Elton Brand3. Dwight HowardCarlos Boozer I believe scores the most out of all of these players (not sure) and since scoring coveres the most categories on fantasy, that is who I would go with. If your team is weak at rebounding, go with Howard first. He is 3rd in the league in rebounds. He gets you both offenisve and defensive boards, and he puts up about 15 a night. But unlike the other two, he is a very poor free throw shooter which could hurt a bit. I think the player that would be easiest to get would be Brand. Alot of people love Howard and wouldnt trade him for anything, and since Boozer is having such a killer season, people arent going to want to trade him either.

    If someone offered you both of them take it. both combined offer a lot more rebounds and points than just one alone.

    Ya I would take both of them too. You already get a total of 42Points and like 20+Rebounds instead of just having 18Points and 12rebounds
