i think he was referring to oden/rose/beasley not having played one single minute in the nba.

but yeah, durant over the next 4 guys he listed is questionable.

No Al Jefferson? Luol Deng got more votes than him.

And as of right now I would say Roy>Bynum.

I agree. I want a 20 year old center who's averaged 13-10 for one half of a season of his 3 year career over a 23 year old leader, who can score and defend.

Nope. Bynum plays in LA. Every mediocre thing he does becomes amazing.
