Below is a list of every NBA player who has seen at least 50 minutes of preseason floor time. They are ranked from 1 (Chris Paul) all the way down to 363 in terms of their Floor Impact Counter per 40 minutes of action

On the positive side, we're not paying Iverson $22 million for 336'th, Hughes $12 million for 356'th.

I'm not sure what this scale is, but it can't be a good thing when Glen Davis is ranked lower than a number of players I've seen on the waiver wire.

Conceptually I understand the value of Scals contract as part of a trade for salary matching purposes. But I've always wondered what sort of flotsum you would get in return for 2 years of Scal. It can't be good...

Dude, at this point I'd take two used basketballs, some game-worn sneakers, and half a ham-sandwich in a trade for Scal...

As soon as I saw that GG was #11... I knew that this ranking system is too raw to be of any value... especially when Scal is ranked dead last.

It just proves that anyone will believe in anything that agrees with their point of view... and deserving or not... Scal is a better bb player than he has shown so far...

He has a confidence problem... but truth be told... I much rather have Scal as the 15th player on my team than half of the grossly overpaid prima donnas on that list...

Scal also tries on defense... In short... Scal is a much, much better basketball player than any of his critics on this board.

Tell me, are you related to Scal on his mother's side or his father's?

You know a player has hit rock bottom when his fans claim he is better then message board readers.

The equivalent old school insult - "Brett Szabo would own your *ss."

Lol - Lucky is probably a better basketball player than I am, but that doesn't mean I think he should be paid $3 million a year to play PF for the Celtics.
