2009 Value Board Ranking
Last Updated 5/15/2009 at 9:42pm.
The Value Board. This list is defined by the top 50 NBA players based on value. But it is not just a list in terms of current ability alone, Hoops Daily defines the value of a player by a combination of his talent, age, potential, character, and ability to win multiple championships. (contract status is not a consideration). If you were going to build an NBA team from scratch, who would be most valuable to you? After you rank your top 50, your input will immediately be implemented into our Consensus Value Board. Enjoy! To create and manage your own value board, click here.
