Welcome to DroppingDimes.com‘s first weekly rankings list!  Each week, the four writers - Al, Ron, Sarge, and myself (sorry, just couldn’t use the third person because it’s quite stupid to, really) will look at our lists of positions, take into account the number of games played (so, please no “Why isn’t Kobe ranked first!” when Bryant only has two games that week and Jason Richardson has four), any injury issues that a player may be having, and the hotness/coldness of a player at that time. 

We’ll rank EACH position into a Top 15 list and in parentheses have that player’s average position ranking amongst the four of us.  First up… number of games for each team.
