2006-07 Hoops overvalued and undervalued
We will compare our draft board to the "experts' draft board" that is a composite of several top draft boards in this industry:
OVERVALUED
* Baron Davis (25th at guard on our board, 19th according to the experts): His health doesn't justify as much faith as the conventional wisdom claims.
* Raymond Felton (32nd at guard on our board, 20th according to the experts): Don't buy into the hype with him excessively, although he is improving.
* Andre Miller (35th at guard on our board, 22nd according to the experts): His numbers across the board don't justify a Top 25 slot
* Sam Cassell (39th at guard on our board, 27th according to the experts): Like Miller, he's not strong in enough categories.
* Ricky Davis (40th at guard on our board, 25th according to the experts): See Miller and Cassell.
* Rasheed Wallace (23rd at forward on our board, 12th according to the experts): In the few leagues where he also has center eligibility, he's worth what the experts say -- so check where you can play him in your league.
* Charlie Villanueva (37th at forward on our board, 23rd according to the experts): The change of scenery raises questions as well as hopes.
UNDERVALUED
* Tony Parker (15th at guard on our board, 28th according to the experts): Don't sleep on his offense, and he has the best shooting percentage among guards.
* Rip Hamilton (20th at guard on our board, 29th according to the experts): Frankly, we're really not sure why he gets overlooked. His production seems fairly obvious to us.
* Raja Bell (22nd at guard on our board, not in the Top 35 according to the experts): He is the epitome of the "stat sheet filler" who gets overlooked because he is not a household name.
* Gerald Wallace (12th at guard on our board, tied for 24th according to the experts): Like Bell, but much more so. He is insanely undervalued.
* Josh Childress (20th at guard on our board, not in the Top 35 according to the experts): He doesn't score many points, but he's still not a liability because of his strength in so many categories.
