Who's Your Favorite PF In The NBA? 

Post#1 » by The Guilty Party » Tue Feb 26, 2008 5:08 pm

I think we're all in agreement that PF is our biggest need and so with that being the case... I'm curious as to who is your favorite PF in the league right now. Do you like the all-around game of Bosh? Do you like the power of Amare? Do you prefer the fundamentals of Duncan?

For me... I think it's Amare. I loved watching Shawn Kemp back in the his Sonic days and Amare reminds me a lot of the Reign Man except he has a better overall offensive game.

Are there any young PFs (in the league 2 years or less) out there that you have high hopes for?

My favorite PF is David West. Great rebounder, with back to the basket moves and nice mid range jumpshot. Plus he has no attiude and just goes out there and does his best.

West might be the most underrated player in the NBA right now. Even though he made the All-Star squad in the West this year, he still barely gets mentioned on a National level when anyone discusses the league's best big men.

Great pick!

Karl Malone & Tim Duncan...

I'm a big Elton Brand guy, but hate to mention him because I'm not a huge fan of bringing him here... I'm afraid his best days are behind him...

Duncan with Amare a close 2nd. Also a big fan of Sheed's game.

Dabods... do you still enjoy watching KG as much now that he's in a Celtic jersey as you did when he was with the Wolves?? I've always loved KG's heart and the way he plays but it's hard for me to root for anyone wearing Celtic Green.

KG all the way, so highly skilled and brings so many intangibles. celtic green? doesnt matter, the man was born to play basketball and i love watching that.

Boozer, Dwight (if u count him as a PF not C) and West are next in line. as for young guys, lamarcus has a high ceiling but he needs to bang more, put on some muscle. and i really like millsap and big babys games altough i doubt they will be stars

TGP: yeah. I can still respect Celtics players. I don't have to root for him, but I still respect him.

I go with the Big Fundamental, Tim Duncan without a doubt. But I have to say I've really enjoyed watching Pau Gasol the last few games in LA. This guy is for real. Just wait till he has Bynum by his side.

One guy who has really impressed me has been LaMarcus Aldridge. He is going to be a force for years to come, but I agree with everyone's comments on David West. Being the only person on this board living in Cincinnati, they love him out here.

I completely agree. I was hoping Channing Frye would have shown more this year than he has so that there would be at least a slim chance of Aldridge being moved when Oden returns but that's not happening now.

Does anyone here love Chris Bosh's game? The guy is a stud PF and I was a fan of him up until he nailed that game winner against us last season and then he made that stupid looking grin. I can't get that face out of my head.

The grin is at the end of the video and it haunts my dreams.

Duncan is easily the best and I love the smoothness of his game, his footwork is so freaking amazing that it's hard to realize how good he is until you look at the final boxscore and realize he just killed you.

That being said Amare is my favorite to watch, his athleticism is incredible, especially for a post-microfracture surgery guy.
