Who would you keep and why?

I have 4 players who I could conceivably keep as my final keeper in a competitive league.

They are:

Andrew Bynum: Usually finishes ranked somewhere in the top 50. Are injuries a major concern? Can't argue with size in fantasy, as Bynum does fill the stat sheet quite well. Could he potentially be dealt somewhere before the season? (Denver?)

Jameer Nelson: You know what you're getting here when he's healthy. Great %'s, solid assist contributions and often becomes the second option in Orlando while Rashard and Vince struggle to find their games.

Trevor Ariza: Can't argue with his contributions in STLS, BLKS, and 3's for a SF. His move to New Orleans and running alongside Chris Paul Definitely makes him much more intriguing this year. I was high on him in Houston - but do you feel his value has risen more so now that he's likely the top wing option in NO - slightly ahead of Thornton?

Andre Miller: Slow start to kick off last season, but was an absolute gem from January on. With Roy's injuries, Miller is durable and hardly ever misses a game. I know Bayless is waiting in the wings, but Andre Miller isn't someone you can just discard. His numbers are very solid every year, and with Portland continuing to surge, it's possible Miller's assist numbers may rank him in the top 5 in the league this year.

If you were in my shoes - of these 4 players, who would you keep on your team for the 2010-2011 season.

Looking forward to some responses.

It kind of depends on who your other keepers are, but unless you have a top tier C like Brook Lopez or sth, I would probably keep Bynum. He can be a pain in the ass with his injuries, but when he's producing, you can count on him to get you better than his top 50 production. He's also still quite young, a good attribute in a keepers league...

Thanks for the insight, as I'm leaning that way also. Other keepers are Durant, Josh Smith and Tyreke Evans.
