Not sure about Bargnani ahead of Bynum...

But for of the rankings, I concur...

[dockingsched]

i'd take bynum over everyone not named duncan/howard/gasol.

[slickgreek]

Also...Brook Lopez is too high,

Bynum over Al Jefferson or Amare? Hmmm

Bynum over Al Jefferson?

of course. we need defense a lot more than inefficient high volume offense.

"allows Lamar Odom to get himself off comfortably"

well... that's nice too.

The rankings are fairly accurate. The top 6 are definitely accruate. Everything after that may be interchangeable. Not too sure about Bargnani being in the top 10. But lets not forget as much as we love Bynum he is yet to play a full season at a high level and has not really done anything in the NBA yet. The rankings aren't based on potential its based on the top right now.

[dockingsched]

bynum has put up a top 20 PER in the league each of the last two regular seasons, a total of 85 games. thats elite play for over a season's worth of games.

Also...Brook Lopez is too high,

brook lopez is awesome

[Shiggity]

al jefferson and amare are not centers

EDIT: i guess they count the PFs and centers too so nvm

dont compare him to them

once Bynum gets confidence again, again, then he'll be fine

and DONT play Bynum against Memphis! ever! sounds dumb but...why risk it

"allows Lamar Odom to get himself off comfortably"

well... that's nice too.

I thought that was pretty funny myself.

[The Skyhook]

If Drew can get things for himself again while being healthy for the entire season he could very well be a top 5 maybe even a top 3 position player.

First off when I saw who wrote the article, I knew it would be full of errors. Here they are :

7. Emeka Okafor, New Orleans : Him at 7 ? Are you kidding me, just last week Wire Tap ran a story on how league execs said he hadn't developed his game since his rookie year. And Bynum toyed with this guy when they met.

9. Nene, Denver : What did we miss in the playoffs that this fool saw ? Another rag doll Drew had moments against.

Then he says this about Bynum," has a decade of prominence at his fingertips if he can ever get out of his own way." WTF ? you mean if his teammates can stay out his way. Another ill informed fool that can't realize Bynum has yet to injure himself on his own accord.

honestly I dont give a F*** about these rankings anymore

bargnani over bynum?

i am as much as a lakers fan as i am a raptors fan and i will tell you, dont sleep on bargnani

Nice. Lets hope we can get a solid season out of him this year. I seriously have high hopes for him this up and coming season.

[supaflash]

Also...Brook Lopez is too high,

Are you kidding? Have you watched the guy? One of the few true Cs in the league, really nice post game, can hit a midrange shot, boards well and blocks well and just a rook.

I think Bynum can and will be better then Brook, but as of right this moment Brook is better. They are both similar but Brook is less athletic but a bit more polished at the moment. That kid will be a damn good center for the next 5-6 years.

[djericho]

I find it funny how Kwame was under consideration. For top 20?

Granted his 1on1 defense was above avg, but offense and team D was crap...

[One Love]

I hope Bynum steps up this year... I can't blieve how little love Chandler and Gasol got on this as they are both solid...

[Dexmor]

Really don't sleep on Bargnani, he could move up.
