Top 10 centers

[theuuord]

Fair enough. I was doing that off the top of my head. He and Bargnani deserve mention (is he a PF or C though). Bogut too. I would take Brook over Gasol though.

I see the Raptors offense as two power forwards and no true center, so I wouldn't put Bargnani as a C. If he was though, he'd be ahead of both of the rookies (Bogut would be too, but neither for long depending on their development).

I'm a fan of Gasol though, for sure.

1a. Dwight
1b. Yao
3. Shaq

Duncan is the center on his team...but not technically, he's right beyond Yao and Dwight now if he were considered a C. Amare is a true PF. Jefferson is a true PF. Pau is a true PF. Sheed is a true PF.

After those three, guys like Perk, Camby, Nene, Kaman, Okur, Biedrins, Marc Gasol round out my top 10.

You are going to put Marc Gasol and Kendrick Perkins over Emeka Okafor...wow...The guy has never not averaged a double double (Gasol never has) and is a great shot blocker and post defender. People like to say that Okafor is really a PF playing out of position but he's a Center in my mind. He's not quick enough to keep up with a lot of PF's, and doesn't have the mid range game or post game that today's PF needs.

Marc Gasol over Brook Lopez?

I mean, I wouldn't have either, but I'd be hard-pressed to argue Gasol over Lopez, especially considering their respective ages (and therefore their ceilings for next year and beyond) and their general comparative abilities...

i agree man where is BLO!

[JaySmoke]

Jeez...are there even ten good C's left in the league right now?

In order

1. Dwight Howard
2. Tim Duncan (don't give me that **** about him being a PF, he's been a C for a while)
3. Yao Ming
4. Al Jefferson
5. Shaq
6. Marcus Camby
7. Nene
8. Mehmet Okur
9. Andris Biendrins
10. Andrew Bynum

11.* Jermaine O'neal
12. * Chris Kaman


I really hope I don't see Ilgauskas' bum azz on any1's lists...he DONE.

Bogut could be on the list next year if he could stay healthy. And I give a Kendrick Perkins an honorable mention, he put in work in the playoffs beasting mtfr's on that depleted C's front line.

really u think bynum and okur are better than j. oneal ,kaman, perkins, horford, okafor, brook lopez, tyson chandler (when healthy) ...

... bynum isnt top 10.. though i'd figure the laker homers would put him and gasol at number 1

[TWoodz09]

I know we can all agree who is last on this list.....Erick Dampier!!!

erika u mean

[MrBloop]

okay, if we include PFs who masquerade, then
Dwight
Yao
Duncan
Jefferson
Shaq
Gasol
Bynum
Oden

I can't even think of 10 centers, honestly. Its that bad

I can't include Gasol b/c he starts alongside a true center. Even tho he mans the pivot when Odom's in the game.

1a. Dwight
1b. Yao
3. Shaq

After those three, guys like Perk, Camby, Nene, Kaman, Okur, Biedrins, Marc Gasol round out my top 10.

All they've done is play him along side PF's since Rasho left the Spurs. Duncan plays like a Center just as much as any of the all time greats.

With that being said, I'll half agree b/c he's gonna go into the Hall as PF in all likelyhood.

But you stick Duncan in any Era, and he's a Center in my opinion...but I guess it depends who he plays with.

Fck it, I'm blazed.

Center!!!

[mikantsass]

In No Order:

Dwight
Yao
Perk
Okafor
Shaq
Horford
J ONeal
Camby
Chandler
Nene

[mikantsass]

The above are all true centers by the way, None of them play PF

[MrBloop]

Bynum b4 the knee injury was looking like one of the top 5 centers in the league, how soon we forget. Its not like he's gonna suck like he did in the playoffs in the future. He Just had knee surgery.

Horford's not better than Okur yet

Okafors ONLY a stud on D (although so is only a stud on O...but Okur is a better player at the moment)

Chandler can't stay healthy for ****, and Okur is also a better player.

You're best argument at this point in time is Brooke Lopez...And I'll apologize to raptor fans (who I hate) for not showing Bargs any love, he came through for my fantasy team sumthin sick, Champion ofcourse )

[jimbobjarree]

someone tell Memo he's not a top 10 center. He seems to think so and expects to be paid like one this summer

[Mc Uncle Cola]

Brook Lopez needs some respect...
