Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Of course he's not close to star PFs, that's not fair or right to compare him to those players, but for the type of player he is, he's top-level because of what he does.
I never argued Haslem wasn't a quality player or that he wasn't a good role player.
I called him a below average starter, and then I listed at least 17 other starting PFs in this league who were better. Considering there are 30 starting PFs in this league, than puts Haslem around the 40th percentile or lower, making him below average (average being 50th percentile). See how we good about this logically?

Imagine...
Alonzo Mourning
Udonis Haslem
Shawn Marion
Dwyane Wade
Derrick Rose
That's already a title contender, in my opinion.
Then Riley does look like a genius for trading Shaq.
your opinion is horrible.

Not realizing, of course, that you put Bosh in their twice, or that the idea that Kenyon Martin is better is not exactly without merit for debate, given the fact that their offensive numbers are virtually identical but Haslem owns him as a rebounder. That's not even taking into account Luis Scola, who's numbers were less than Haslem's across the board.
So, given that two of your players are arguable, and one of them was repeated twice, I think you could make an argument for Haslem actually being exactly average...

My fault, replace Bosh with Okafor. I looked over the teams again. I'd put Haslem at 18th, ahead of Wilcox for Seattle, Troy Murphy of Indiana, Al Jefferson of Golden State, but behind Scola, who's the better player of the two imo. Scola's stats are skewed because he played on a better team, and took a couple of months to adjust to the NBA. I'd also take Kenyon Martin over Haslem now that Martin is finally getting healthy (disregarding his contract of course, lol). Jamison's the only other guy you could possibly argue about. In the West, Haslem might be more valuable than Jamison, who plays out of position. But Jamison is the better player.

You can put him anywhere you want. Understand that it doesn't necessarily make you right.
