The Center
The Point Guard
A young, dominant center(Dwight Howard)
or
A young, game changing point guard(Chris Paul)

Of those two, CP3. 9 times out of ten, the big man.
good job...unfortunately not an option, else I couldve thrown in other established champions like Kobe.
Two young players who neither have made it to the Finals, but are the cornerstone of their franchises are the selections.
depends on who they are, if the point guard was Chris Paul and the center was Dasanga Diop I would have to take Chris Paul-
CP3. With out a good point guards big men are worthless.
Dwight Howard. After that, I would hire a guy like Kareem to teach him post moves.
I would take dwight personally.. a good big man is hard to come by.
Josh Howard
If by using those names, you mean that caliber of player, in today's NBA? The big man - 10-15 years ago, the PG.
It depends, if its a PG that makes the Players around him better then I would go with him.
Howard has a way higher ceiling than Paul IMO. Paul's game is essentially completed at this point, Howard can still add to his arsenal of offensive moves, improve his defensive IQ, FT shooting, etc.
^Pretty much. This remains a big man's game, I take Superman.
for some reason, good true point guards have not lead their teams to a championship for a while. jason kidd comes into mind, john stockton, gary payton and steve nash also. all hall of fame point guards, even payton. billups and the pistons won one but billups was hardly the leader stockton and kidd were. billups was just a piece on the pistons the same way parker was just a piece of the supporting cast put around duncan. franchise players that are point guards can't seem to lead a team to win it all.
Big man for the Defense bonus.
basketball has always been a big man's game.
Im talking about those particular players
Howard or Paul
This is a big man's game. Dwight Howard.
Howard, no doubt.
Is that why the best player of all time was a 2 guard?
Unfortunately there's Laker fans out there who think you're talking about Kobe.
There are only a few franchise level center, slightly more point guard, more power forwards, lot of sg/sf.
In terms of rarity
Center > PG > PF > SF > SG
Thats why you take Dwight over Paul.
No way. Great point guards are more useful than Bigs. Bigs do not handle the ball 90% of the game, the guards do. Without good pg's, the bigs are rendered useless for the most part.
The play makers like CP3 always have the ball in their hands and set the tempo. That is not to say that bigs suck, but when it comes to guards vs bigs, great guards > great bigs.
DPG, I bet the Nets are so glad the had Kidd over Shaq or Duncan in 02 and 03.
