It's kind of sad that all it took to become the franchise's best centre ever was one season of solid production.

Just imagine the rejoicing when the day JR Rider has no claim on the best SG in Wolves history...

Jason Richardson is going to claim that title next season.

But did he really play the Center position that often to be considered one? I didn't really watch Wolves games when he was a Wolf but I've been an avid reader on the boards for almost a decade now. Not one single time I can recall reading that someone mentioned Garnett playing the Center spot for more than a few minutes.
What would you consider enough? It's subjective.
More than spot minutes, as in 10+ minutes a game and not out of necessity. But that's my criterion.

To be fair, there is also the entertainment value of watching the biggest brute in the NBA manhandle other team's center. Bynum doesn't bounce off of many people.
