Kenyon Martin or Nene?
If you were Denver who'd you rather have starting at the 4?

I don't know... I think when healthy - if he's ever healthy - Martin is actually a better fit for the Nuggets. He doesn't really demand any touches on the offensive end and is a more capable defender than Nene. I haven't checked their stats this year but I would imagine Nene is the better rebounder because of his larger frame and healthier knees...

You're comparing a guy who put up decent numbers with Kidd to a guy who has never put up numbers at all.
That being said, I like KMart's versatility on D, speed on the break, attitude and ability to step out like Camby.
With Melo a beast on the block and AI slashing, you want bigs who can hit jumpers and finish over people from dump offs. Insert KMart and Camby.

Kenyon Martin can't really hit the jumper consistently outside of 10 feet or so. Nene's offense is much better than Kmart's and his D is underrated, as he can get a hand up and do a much better job contesting shots of 7 footers down on the block due to his much bigger wingspan. (if they can't manage the ball Kmart will eat them alive forcing turnovers) all that being said, the main factor for the Nuggets starting Kmart over Nene (which they've done most of the time) is the fact that Kmart's knees are in better shape and are more flexible immediately following the stretches they get before the game and during halftime. also, Kmart sets good defensive tone when he starts.
