Josh Smith

Depending upon your league's format, Josh Smith is a first round pick. For those of you not paying attention, J-Smoove had 16.4 / 8.6 / 3.3 with 1.4 steals and 2.88 blocks! The steals were 7th highest amongst non-guards (19th overall) and the blocks were 2nd in the league to Camby. He also made 38 3's. If your league does not do percentages, you have a stud (his %'s are weak). Consider a) He is 21 years old and b) he played the whole year without a PG. I refuse to believe that ATL is stupid enough to go through another year without a PG. Whether it be Mo Williams or Mike Conley Jr., they know that hole absolutely has to be filled.

Expect similar block, steal, assist, and rebound numbers next year (his boards fluctuate wildly by the matchup) with an up tick in scoring. I see him getting himself right up to that 20 ppg mark, making him an extremely valuable player in 5-7 category leagues. Don't be shocked to see him go right around the bend of the first round.

If you need any other reassurances, he is nearing his restricted free agent year and he hasn't been payed yet, so you can imagine that he's going to do everything in his power to get the max (and then stop trying like most NBA players).
