#10 is Pau
It's been well-documented that the Lakers took off last season and finished last season playing close to .800 ball after acquiring Gasol from Memphis. The 7-foot, 250-pound Gasol averaged 18.8 points and 8.8 rebounds for the Lakers after the February trade and clearly galvanized the team. However, he was playing center on that team. This season, with young Andrew Bynum back from knee surgery and moving to center, Gasol must prove to be effective at power forward. He was disappointing in the Finals loss to the Celtics when things got rough and it was a rude awakening to the Lakers. On paper, the Lakers with Gasol, Bynum and Lamar Odom have the most potent frontcourt in the game. But can they be productive together? It may come down to how Gasol fits as the epicenter of coach Phil Jackson's triangle. In nine months, we'll know if it works.
Ok first of all Boozer isn't better than Pau, Jamison isn't anymore, and I think he's ranked too low. Second he's not likely to get a ton of credit considering how stacked we are now. But to me Pau is #1 on this list in passing and his defense will look alot better with a center like Drew behind him.
I'd rank him 7-5 on this list.
