Which 5 Would You Keep

In my 14 team we keep 5. I traded my 1st round pick for Monta Ellis mid-season. The only players I'm going to name are players worth keeping. Choose five.

Marcus Camby
Carlos Boozer
Rudy Gay
Monta Ellis
Kevin Martin
Steve Nash

Thanks to any replies.

Rudy Gay, Monta Ellis, Kevin Martin, and Carlos Boozer are basically must keeps given their age and productivity already...

So that narrows it down to Camby and Nash for the final keeper spot... Personally I would take Nash only because he's less of a health concern than Camby. But the thing to keep in mind if you keep Nash is that you're going to need to find someone who can block shots in your draft as none of the 5 players mentioned really stand out in that category (although Rudy Gay is a good shot blocking wing player).

On the flip side between Martin and Nash you are getting major productivity from 3pt land and the ft line.

edit: A couple more things to think about which should be pretty obvious, with Baron Davis gone from Golden State and Artest presumably gone from from Sacramento Ellis and Martin are now "the man" on their teams.

Thanks Nets, that's what I was thinking. I have the 3rd pick in the second round and Camby still may be available.

I am in a 15 team, 5 player keeper and if Camby was available after the 75th pick (15 teams x 5 players each= 75) I would take him with my first pick, no question. Having said that, You pretty much have no choice but to drop Camby given his age/injury history, but he will no doubt have you kicking yourself and congratulating yourself @ different times in the season due to his spectacular fantasy #''s/long stints in street clothes.

Yup, same here. Though C is a tough position to fill, Camby seems due for an injury plagued season. He also hates the fact that he was traded, and is not going to get anything easy in Clipperland as he was in Denver, and may suck just to be a baby.

The keepers that you guys named was my plan, just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing.
