What do you guys think of this list? Whos too high? Too low? Whats your list? What critique do you have for mine? Any fans of a team think that a player on there team is on the list but didnt play PF? Let me know and ill give you my reason why I put them there but ill stay open minded if you do. Thanks for the look.

Edit: after more research both Tim Duncan Emeka Okafor and Rasheed Wallace played a much higher % of minutes at Center than they did PF.

Base it all on stats and what you get is a Zack Randolph at 11 :nonono:

Isiah Thomas traded for him and ended up getting fired. I read the Bucks GM also got fired for trying to trade for him. He lead the Knicks to a wonderful season so he clearly deserves to be at 11.

Are you considering Al Jefferson a center?

Do you have any source saying thats why Harris got fird as the bucks GM because im pretty sure your full of it? He is not the reason the Knicks sucked and that is pretty stupid to put the full blame on one player, everything went wrong for the Knicks this season and Randolph played very hard whenever he was on the floor, his shot selection isnt great but he still shot 46% and if he can have a coach that will keep him in the post he will be even better. Zach Randolph is not good enough to lead a team but he is a pretty good player but not great, hes better then Lewis though for sure who would you put above him thats currently under him?

And yes I think Jefferson is a PF but he played C forthe Wolves this season.

I think amare is too high. He is not like this without shaq. Put shaq next to most of the top 6-7 you have and their numbers skyrocket.

Also pau gasol should be at number 7.

Al Jefferson [ease up with the insults]

Amare Randolph Marion are all too high.

C'mon Sabi that is jacked up. Why does that dog keep punking that little boy? LOL

prekazi · Post #11 » by **prekazi** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 10:35 pm

Duncan is the best PF ever so ranking him below Amare is :wavefinger:

I would say they're tied with KG.

Randolph ahead of Rashard Lewis is just plain wrong.

Scalabrine · Post #13 » by **Scalabrine** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 11:29 pm

please people look at the list objectvely, too many people are coming in these threads saying "(enter player on favorite team here) is too low" and then get mad at me.

al Jefferson has been the starting Center for the Wolves all season, that was really really uncalled for and for the first time ever im going to report you. Wow.

Tim Duncan is the best player in the NBA.

pau gasol didn't play pf at all for the lakers or the grizzlies.

LMA deserves to be higher by a few spots..mainly over shard, odom, zbo

ponder276 · Post #17 » by **ponder276** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 8:03 am

Amare over Duncan? Yes he's a better scorer, but he does play on a much faster paced team, with arguably the best pick and roll PG in the leauge. Far more importantly, Duncan is a defensive force, Amare is a defensive seive. TD is also a superior rebounder and a far superior passer (TD's passing out of the post is really underrated).

Also, Zach Randolph is way too high. There's a reason Portland took on a terrible contract (Francis) and a below average big (Frye) just to get rid of him - he has a negative impact on his team. He's the definition of a black hole on offense, and he essentially doesn't play defense. There is no way he should be ranked above useful, valuable players like Shard, Okafor, Odom and Sheed.
To me this play pretty much epitomizes Z-bo:

Amare should be below Duncan and Dirk

Duiz · Post #19 » by **Duiz** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 10:57 am

It gets to me how idiotic Scalibrine is being. Al Jefferson is a PF, Emeka Okafor plays Center. Both Paul Millsap and Jason Maxiell are better than David Lee or Zach Randolph at this point. And also how is Rasheed Wallace behind Antawn Jamison and company.

This guy must have been high on lsd when he made the list, and must have cracked out uncontrollably, normally someone that high, thinking that adding Zach Randolph, Josh Smith, and David Lee that high.
