Do you consider Pau Gasol a PF?
Because I think Bynum plays the C spot, so if you label Pau as a PF, I might take him as best PF.. -

I couldn't decide between Gasol and Dirk.
Me personally, I'd take Gasol over Dirk any day of the week, but most people would disagree. -

Gasol...fo sho -

Gasol is a way better defender than Dirk. Dirk is a more well rounded offensive player but Gasol does everything you need a 4 to do very well anyways. I'm not big on big men shooting 3's, doesn't hold much weight with me. Physical teams that can own the paint win titles, not pussy finesse teams.

It's kind of odd most of us would take Gasol at PF. That isn't the sexy name.
Paul- still the best when healthy, Wade- i like his all around game better than kobe, probably bias, James- no comment, Gasol- isn't the sexy name compared to amare/bosh/dirk but he bangs down low better than any of those guys when you add defense into the mix, Howard- no comment. -

Dirk would be my 3rd PF, behind Pau and Amar'e..
I may even still take Tim Duncan over Dirk.. Just NOT a big Dirk fan. He's soft and doesn't have the "winners" mentality imo.

Forgot about Bynum^ I think I'd still take Brook Lopez over him though. Brook has a 20/10 game written all over him (averaged 19/8 this season) and his game has so much more room for growth.
Bynum I feel, is what he is. A guy with big game potential but not consistent enough to do it for 82 games. He also has injury problems. -

what about Bogut? Is throw him in the mix for sureLTrain23 wrote: Dirk would be my 3rd PF, behind Pau and Amar'e..

C - (tough, because there really aren't a lot of top flight centers in the league) I guess you could look at Brook Lopez, Al Jefferson, or maybe Al Horford.. Though, the latter 2 are really PF's playing C for their respective teams. -

OMG!
I forgot about Bogut, smh...
Yeah, I'll revise that. -

I actually like Bosh more than Amare.
I'd rank the PFs this way:
1. Gasol
2. Bosh
3. Amare
4. Duncan
5. Dirk
Duncan won't be top 5 next year though. -

PF Gasol. As soon as the Lakers got him for essentially his brother and 2 first rounders, I thought to myself FUCK thats their missing piece

No way is Bynum better than Bogut or Lopez. IMO, Gasol makes Bynum as good as he is.

SG- Bryant
SF- LBJ
PF- Gasol

se are you ranking Lopez ahead of Dwight?

Crimson_StreakGive lopez a couple years and I think he will take over howards spot as best center I love his game. He's just not well known cause of the team he plays for

Dwight Howard is FINALLY starting to develop a back to the basket game.. while it may not be much, he is finally scoring by other ways than dunking.
The gap between #1 Center and #2 Center is the biggest gap in the NBA. -

No, my bad. I think Lopez is a more skilled center, but Dwights athleticism puts him over the top. I don't believe it's a huge gap though. They are even as offensive players, but Dwight is the better rebounder.wildcats20 wrote: se are you ranking Lopez ahead of Dwight? -
SQ_Crazies
Disagree, the gap between the best SF and the 2nd best is the biggest in the league. Howard is certainly the best C by a large margin though, but I agree with a few of the above who say Lopez will be right up there in a few years. Let us not forget, he's pretty damn good defensively as well and much more polished than Howard offensively already.Trueblue23 wrote:

IMO, Bynum isn't as good as Bogut or Lopez BUT he'd be better than Howard if he wanted to be--I'm not thinking about injuries here because those are out of anyones control. His ceiling is higher than any C in the league IMO, but he has to just buckle down and be that guy. -

ummm no, the biggest gap is between the centers howard is way above everyone else. Durant and Melo are right behind Lebron.SQ_Crazies wrote:
