FIC per 40 is a bad metric, overvalues good rebounding numbers in short minutes.

Love is going to be an amazing player though. Best rebounder entering the league since Rodman. Kind of guy who won't fascinate fantasy owner but that will deliver tons of wins to his team.

but look at this:

8. JaVale McGee, Washington: 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.8 minutes, 13.2 FIC40, 4.89 FIC/Game (18th)

9. Kosta Koufos, Utah: 4.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in 11.8 minutes, 13 FIC40, 3.84 FIC/Game (27th)

10. Roy Hibbert, Indiana: 6.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.6 minutes, 12.5 FIC40, 3.92 FIC/Game (26th)

11. Derrick Rose, Chicago: 16.4 points, 6.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 36.5 minutes, 12.3 FIC40, 11.24 FIC/Game (1st)

[mogrovejo]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. One has to be very careful with these linear-weighted boxscore based metrics: PER, WP, FIC, etc.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I wonder if they use the same graphs the Jazz fans on this board do when comparing Williams and Paul.

[dirk4mvp]

Well yeah, they pretty much screwed that list up.

I really like Brook Lopez. Too bad his brother is a pussy.
