Fantasy Question

I'm trying to decide on a few guys. I'm not playing in a regular fantasy league.

The point of this draft is to try to assemble the best possible real-life team.
The winner was determined using a roto style ranking on all teams based on the following: 1) PER 2) Production Differential (player production vs opposing player production) 3) On Court/Off Court Differential 4) Offensive Win Shares 5) Defensive Win Shares 6) Offensive Rating 7) Defensive Rating 8) Minutes Played.

I'm looking for a Power Forward/ Center

Here's my Current rotation

Blatche
Al Jefferson/Dalembert

These are the guys I'm looking at

Anderson Varejo
Demarcus Cousins
Kris Humphries
Birdman

Who would you pick or suggest someone else..

Thanks for your help!

If Cousins is available take him!

He was 15/9 last year and will most likely be 19/10 range this year

Hmm. Cousins may not be the best pick given those categories. 19 and 10 isn't a bad guess for him, but his low FG% and sky-high TOs really hurt his PER and ORat.

That said, the only other guy I'd look at is Varejao, and only because his defense is really good. It kind of depends on which version of defensive rating you're using. If it's the more general one that based in large part on team numbers then Varejao's defensive numbers will suffer a little, although his on-court/off-court numbers should still be strong.

Out of the two I might gamble on Cousins upping his FG and dropping the TOs, especially if you're not using a more player specific DRat (based on PDSS or something like it) that would show Varejao at his best.

I'd take Amir Johnson over either guy though. If you want to provide a list of who's available I'll comment a little more.
