Mighty Moke’s Free Agency Rankings (Version 6.0)

RANK	PLAYER	RUNDOWN	LAST
1		CHRIS PAUL, G, LA CLIPPERS: As if team’s first ever division title and a 4-0 season sweep of crosstown Lakers wasn’t enough, assist-to-turnover ratio last week was 8-to-1. Grabbed 3.5 steals per game and shot 50 percent from field in a 2-0 week.	4
2		AL JEFFERSON, C, UTAH: No shame in losing at DEN when your team has won 7 of 8 and are on the cusp of having Kobe miss playoffs for just second time in his career. Big Al is beginning to look like the biggest sleeper amongst free agents to be.	2
3		DWIGHT HOWARD, C, LA LAKERS: After grabbing 15.3 rebounds per game last week, Superman could only give us 8.7 last week. And only 4 (!) against the Clippers in a game his team needed. What’s his motivation? And why isn’t it always there?	1
4		PAUL MILLSAP, F, UTAH: Last week’s numbers: 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists on 50 percent shooting. Now you see that 7-1 stretch for the Jazz wasn’t all due to Big Al.	6
5		JOSH SMITH, F, ATLANTA: Impossible to overlook team’s 0-3 week, which included a home loss to 76ers and Smoove missing his fifth game of the season. Averaging just one block per over last three games? What have you done for me lately, self-believing max man?	3
6		DAVID WEST, F, INDIANA: Comfy in third seed out East, but we are still trying to figure out the 19-point thrashing the Wizards put on the Pacers on Saturday. Last week’s 14.5 points and 7.5 rebounds a bit pedestrian, but we’ll be patient with his comeback from his injury.	7
7		COREY BREWER, F, DENVER: Shoots into Top-10 after scoring 19.7 points per game and helping Lawson-less Nuggets go 3-0 last week after Gallo’s injury. Still erratic from the perimeter, but still plays to strengths supremely well.	12
8		BRANDON JENNINGS, G, MILWAUKEE (R): Turned in a so/so week by shooting a respectable 46 percent from the field, but lone win in 1-2 week was at home against Raptors. Lone positive? Only 1.7 turnovers per game, but I guess clinching a playoff spot counts for something.	10
9		NATE ROBINSON, G, CHICAGO: Nate has emerged as a solid contributor for the Rose-less Bulls. Losses at DET on Sunday and at WAS last Tuesday hurt, but are offset by huge victory at Brooklyn last Thursday. Last week: 16.5 points, 3.5 assists.	9
10		NIKOLA PEKOVIC, C, MINNESOTA (R): Crashes Top-10 after scoring 20+ points in three consecutive games last week. We slept on him due to missed games, but strong week catapults him into Top-10 and possible $13M/yr payday from T-Wolves.	–
11		TYREKE EVANS, G, SACRAMENTO (R): Call me harsh, but the and 0-3 week and 5 point stink bomb Tyreke turned in against the Grizzlies on Sunday is borderline unforgivable. But the 26/9/6 line against the Mavericks the game prior helps.	5
12		TONY ALLEN, G, MEMPHIS: The more we watch Tony Allen, the more we appreciate his tenacity. Griz may earn homecourt over Clips in round one, and it’s not possible without him. 14/2/3 on Mon. and 12/6/2 on Sun. shows solid all-around, impressive contributions.	15
13		J.J. HICKSON, F, PORTLAND: Team has lost season-high 8 in a row. The 17-point, 9-rebound effort in loss to Grizzlies was impressive, but overshadowed by 6-point, 5-rebound slumber party in loss to Mavericks. Wake up, J.J. Your future bankroll depends upon it.	8
14		ANDRAY BLATCHE, C, BROOKLYN: Still a solid, even if inconsistent, reserve big. Team went 2-1 thanks in part to 11.7 points on 58 percent shooting from him. Only 3.3 rebounds per game, though. Fourth seed and homecourt advantage in first round likely awaits.	14
15		KEVIN MARTIN, G, OKLAHOMA CITY: We’re still trying to figure out what’s happened. 8.7 points per game last week on just 45 percent shooting. Thunder need much more than that from Martin if they’re to repeat as conference champions.	13
