so if Howard is a PF masquerading as a C, then Hakeem wasn't a true C either?

thats like saying Magic Johnson was a small forward masquerading as a point guard. Dwight's numbers have been better as a center then they ever were as a power forward. Your comment is just purely false.

Size. Strength. Offense. Defense. Intelligence. Work ethic. And unlike some of those other brittle guys, he doesn't spend half of the time on the bench nursing injuries.

ROY HIBBERT



He hasn`t played a game yet and yet he is an iron man. Thats great Not to mention he has no offense or defense (or anything close to these other centers).

Correction: He's never missed a game.


I'm gonna say Greg Oden, I fully believe he will dominate the game. Dwight a very very close second though, and if Oden doesn't fully realise his potential, Dwight is it.

The Caliper guys keep telling me it's Bargs. He's a lock for top 5 C all time.

Gonna say Greg Oden, mainly because I think his future is helped by the Blazers' future. Dwight will be all alone in Orlando as their future with not much help, Bynum will be overshadowed by Kobe for the next few years, while Oden will be the centerpiece of that core that Blazers have which is stacked with young and good talent in Roy, Fernandez, Aldridge, et al.
