Softest Big Man in the NBA? 

Post#1 » by ilikecb4 » Sun Jan 6, 2008 6:18 am

Discuss. Someone who gets pushed around by guards. Can't rebound. Doesn't play good D. Just plain soft.

Zach Randolph shouldnt be on that list, hes a really good rebounder and can score..hed fit well with a Tyson Chandler or Marcus Camby not Eddy Curry.

As a matter of fact i vote for Eddy Curry.

agreed, Zach has shown himself a very good rebounded not to mention he is pretty decent and finishing shots after contact. His faults like elsewhere...

Why the hell is Nenad Krstic there???

Because he's european??

The guy has been been ejected like 4 times for getting into shuffles with other players (jamaal magloire, troy murphy, gerald wallace).

:roll: :roll: Guess euro automatically means he's soft...


EDit: I see you forgot to add Chris bosh to the list...probably one of the softest players in the league....

Why is Andrew Bogut on that list.......

He is averaging 9 rebounds and 2 blocks a game and is very consistent......

Your list fails.

Ima go with Brian Cook. A jumpshooting big man who avoids contact like the plague and does absolutely nothing else on the court? Sounds like Cook to me. Pat Garrity is a close second.

Didn't you hear. If you're Euro you're soft and if you're white you're unathletic.

I don't even consider Garrity a big man. He's just a tall sf that's forced to play pf because of his lack of athleticism.

This is a horrible poll but I voted for Curry anyway. The softest guys are Brian Cook, Pat Garrity, etc. Randolph rebounds, Gasol blocks shots... a lot of these guys really aren't that soft.
