Pau Gasol took the top spot in the NBA power forward rankings for the 2009-2010 season by a big margin.  It does surprise me to see the differentiation between his final score and the other top contenders at the position.  Within the next couple of days I will be posting my full analysis of the rankings.

(If you missed previous posts you should start with the NBA point guards cumulative rankings, which also includes the explanation of my evaluation process.)

  2. Ammad - thanks for the comment. KG benefitted in my rankings from excellent Defensive and Simple ratings. It also helped that there were a lot of power forwards that put up good numbers so each of the different rankings systems were jumbled at the top. If he stays around seven or eight next season I think the Celtics will be quite pleased.
