Rafer is ranked that high not because of his shot but because the way Realgm rated the PG's Notes - FIC: The Floor Impact Counter (FIC) used here is modified by RealGM's Christopher Reina to give more value to assists and blocks, differentiate between offensive and defensive rebounds (offensive being more valuable) and slightly reduces the value of missed field goals and free throws.
I'd love to get Hinrich here. I think Harris would be no worse and probably slightly better than Alston. Ford would be a upgrade, but it'd be silly to have a THIRD starter that struggles to play 60 games a season. Bibby's nice, but is close to being washed up on defense. I don't know that Fisher can actually initiate the offense anymore - the triangle masks that extremely well. Barbosa's a pure scorer that can't run an offense - he'd be a nice addition, but only if he's a combo guard (replacing Head, not Alston). With Alston, I think he is at best a Chris Childs/Charlie Ward type. He needs to be part of a PG by committee scenario, not the sole guy. Evan
