Best of the Best: C/ WRAP UP!

[ITK9]

You win NBA titles with guys like Bynum. You only win games with a PF at C like Howard.

=))

what? d12 is 10 times better than bynum.

That may be the case. But Howard is a PF, not a C. He's only playing center because Orlando doesn't have a PF. And the C position is really, really weak. Which is sad but true.

A few things:

No Sammy on the list? He's a lot better than Bogut IMO. Bogut just sucks. He also is MUCH better than Brad Miller and Shaq at this point in their careers. Hell he's better than Kaman and Chandler too. I'll take Sammy over everyone on that list besides Dwight, Yao, Bynum, and Oden.

Okafor I see as a 4, and I still see Dwight as a 4 even though he hasn't played it for a while.

It's well documented that you're a registered homer and I get that... but I don't agree with most of what is written above.

Ok, the voting is in and the the teams have been filled out. There isn't really any surprises (to me) but it is interesting to look at that first team and realize how young 3 of those members are.

sammy is top 10 imo

Chandler is arguably the best defensive center in the League, Sammy does not do defense better than Tyson. Nor does he rebound better than him.

Totally disagree.

There is a reason Chandler was a nobody until he played along the best PG in the NBA. Chandler was a complete and total bum before he landed with the Hornets. Sammy is a better defensive and offensive player IMO and a better rebounder.

Lol @ Brad miller & Bogut votes

I used to think the same, but he really is more of an undersized (height) center than PF. He doesn't have the skill set to be a PF. I think he's correctly labelled as a center.

Bynum if he continues to develop will be an All-Star player. He's not there yet, Howard is.

Wow. You really believe this, don't you??

Tyson Chandler's offensive game is nonexistent, you're right about that, but I'd rather have Tyson setting off-ball picks and rolling off those high screen-and-rolls and throwing down the thunder oops from Paul than Sammy's inconsistent 15 footer or having him try his hand in the low post. Neither of them have any offensive game really that merits a discussion. What makes Tyson so valuable is his relentlessness on the glass and his topnotch defense... Sammy is a decent rebounder, and sometimes shows flashes of good defense (like how he owned Tim Duncan near the end of the season), but he's not even in Tyson's league in those departments.
