+05.8 Rajon Rondo 31st in NBA
+05.7 Paul Pierce 35th in NBA

+02.8 Tony Allen
+01.3 Leon Powe
+00.4 Eddie House 101 in NBA

-08.8 Patrick O'Bryant

Based on NET PER,
the Celtics and Cavs have the following ranks
by position (out of 30 NBA teams):

Point Guard: Celtics 4 / Cavs 22
Shooting Guard: Celtics 3 / Cavs 6
Small Forward: Celtics 3 / Cavs 1
Power Forward: Celtics 4 / Cavs 2
Center: Celtics 15 / Cavs 3 (before Illgauskas was injured they were #1)

Looks like the Celtics need help up front,
and Scottie Pippen guarding LeBron James.
Another shooter wouldn't hurt.

Are these numbers based on starters only or the whole team? Because I don't see how Cleveland's power forward ranks higher than KG.

the thing is lebron plays the PF position like 1/3 of the game which helps the stat. It's based on the whole team, like whoever plays the position.
