Here's how the Eastern Conference roster should look if players are measured solely on fantasy merit.
Starters
C. Chris Bosh, Toronto Raptors
Bosh has picked things up after a slow start, and after 36 games is averaging 22.2 ppg, 9.3 rbpg, while shooting 48% from the field, 85% from the line and is turning it over just 2.1 times. He still doesn't block many shots (1.1 per game), but provides a big boost to fantasy teams just the same.
F. Caron Butler, Washington Wizards
Butler's taking advantage of Gilbert Arenas' injury, averaging 21.8 ppg, 7.0 rbpg, 4.4 apg, 2.4 spg, while shooting 48% from the field, 91% from the line and is turning the ball over just 2.6 times per game.
F. Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
Garnett's led the Celtics to the best record in the NBA, while averaging 19.3 ppg, 9.8 rbpg, 3.8 apg and is shooting 54% from the field and 80% from the line.
G. Chauncey Billups, Detroit Pistons
Perhaps the most underrated guard in basketball. Billups averages 17.9 ppg, 7.1 apg, 1.8 treys per game and shoots 45% from the field and 90% from the line.
G. Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks
The high-flyer is averaging 18.3 ppg, 8.1 rbpg, 1.8 spg and 3.3 bspg in 41 games.
Reserves
C. Rasheed Wallace, Detroit Pistons (12.4 ppg, 7.3 rbpg, 1.4 spg, 1.2 topg)
F. Antawn Jamison, Washington Wizards (21.5 ppg, 10.6 rbpg, 1.3 topg, 1.7 treys)
F. LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers (29.7 ppg, 7.6 rbpg, 7.4 apg, 2.0 spg)
F. Rashard Lewis, Orland Magic (18.6 ppg, 5.1 rbpg, 2.7 treys per game)
F. Gerald Wallace, Charlotte Bobcats (21.4 ppg, 6.2 rbpg, 2.2 spg)
G. Jason Richardson, Charlotte Bobcats (20.1 ppg, 5.4 rbpg, 2.9 treys)
