Luis Scola, Houston Rockets
Now that he’s in the starting lineup, there’s no reason why Luis Scola can’t be the best rookie power forward in the NBA. He’s experienced, smart and plays in a system conducive to his strengths. He should eventually become a player who can average around 12 and 8 on the NBA level.

Yi Jianlian, Miwaukee Bucks
There is a lot of hype surrounding Yi Jianlian but most of that hype is warranted. He has a pure jumper that extends all the way out to the three-point line. He can rebound and mix in some blocked shots. Everything about him …read more

Nene, Denver Nuggets
Nene is returning from injury and has played well in his time back with the Nuggets. Always a huge talent, Nene used his time away to get into better shape. Although he has a lot of competition from quality bigs such as Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby, Nene should be able to carve out a niche for himself in Denver.
Tyrus Thomas, Chicago Bulls
Thomas is a player who looks great one night and then disappears for a couple of weeks. For a fantasy team, that is very dangerous. But with a new coach in Chicago, Thomas might get a …read more

Kurt Thomas, Seattle Supersonics
Thomas isn’t a very exciting player and he’s up there in age. That said, the Sonics literally can’t win without him. All season long, Seattle has only one victory in games in which Thomas doesn’t start. In games he does start, the Sonics have seven wins. Due to that stat, you can expect to see a lot of Thomas – as long as the Sonics are actively trying to win.
Anderson Varejao, Cleveland Cavaliers
Lost in all the holdout talk is the fact that Varejao is actually a good player. Not only that, Varejao …read more

Here is a look at the top five power forwards according to Yahoo’s standard scoring:
1) Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves
Garnett has been a beast so far and he is making his fantasy owners very proud. He’s having arguably the best season of his career and there seems to be no end in sight. Barring injury, Garnett should finish in the top two in his position without problem.
2) Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns
Marion is another guy who was drafted high and is living up to expectations. He was born to be a fantasy basketball stud, as he produces in virtually every area. Marion …read more

Walter Herrmann, Charlotte Bobcats
Herrmann is currently a sleeper in drafts, but that could change when fantasy basketball owners figure out how he’s in a very good position to produce this season. With Sean May out for the season, Herrmann could very well end up starting at power forward. In 12 games as a starter last year, Herrmann averaged 19.6 points and 5.7 rebounds, while shooting nearly 60% from the field and 50% from three-point land. Those are staggering numbers for a player you can select deep in a fantasy draft.
Check out this mix video of Herrmann …

Nene, Denver Nuggets
Nene isn’t …read more
