May I start with Duncan?
If you were starting a team in a new city, who would u choose to take as your starting center. To make things fair, we will have to say that this is at the beginning of both of their careers, (ie b4 microfracture surgery)
My pick was Dwight, he is committed on the defensive end. He rebounds, blocks shots, an incredible athlete, great teammate, and his offensive game is coming around.
I had this argument with a friend of mine and I was told I was crazy and my basketball IQ was in jeopardy..........
So i wanna hear some of yalls ideas
May I start with Duncan?
Dwight by far. Your argument pretty much covered what any smart basketball mind would say. He is not quite as refined offensively yet, but to be fair, he doesnt have a system based on scoring, or Steve Nash throwing him passes either. He is a far superior rebounder on both ends, shot blocker, more athletic, taller, better defender, puts forth effort on both ends of the court.
Amare dunks, takes alley-oops from Steve Nash, hits a 15 foot jumper... and not much else. Thats all he did even before his surgery.
Dwight >>> Amare
I'd take Dwight but either would be great. A lot of people on these boards love to slam Amare because he can be a , he's y, and he's stupid. But he's still an elite big man in the league. And he's much better than some people here want to portray him as.
Howard is bigger, stronger, and better capable of anchoring an elite defense. That's why I'd give him the edge.
Greg Oden
Howard, no question.
Tlong man u make me laugh......I hope the trailblazers do well, for your sake......a lot is riding on hope
I'll take the guy who s porn stars. Don't tell Obstructed View.
howard no contest.
Andrew Bynum
Dwight Howard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bynum
DeSagana Diop. He's from Africa, and he'll machete your ass!
Duncan over all the above mentioned and quite a bit more.
Dwight above Amare easily.
Dwight Howard >>>> Andrew Bynum
If he returns healthy, Bynum could be closer than you think. Offensively, Bynum is already better than Howard.
i wont say hes better just yet, but he does have more skills and moves on offense. but i agree that a healthy Bynum is a lot closer than people will realize.
lol my badass post
Bynum is a lot more skilled in the post than Howard.
If howard can't develop some moves inside, his dominance will end before it even started.
Dwight Howard averages 20+ points a night. I'll take that kind of low-post ineptness any day.
Bynum is nowhere near Howard's level.
Amare averaged 20.6 ppg the year before Steve Nash joined the Suns and with Marbury playing less than half the season for the Suns. Nash helps, but let's not paint Amare to be inept without Steve Nash, especially since you bolded the fact that Amare is still an elite offensive big man.
When a player has the natural physical gifts Dwight Howard has and can shoot 60% from the field, wouldn't you expect him to score closer to 30 ppg?
Bynum is nowhere near Howard's level.
Howard is absolutely the better player. Bynum is still mostly potential. But, it's certainly reasonable to say Bynum is better offensively and not that far off if he can stay healthy and continue to develop at the pace he was last year before he got injured. Physically and athletically, Bynum is not far behind Dwight Howard. Behind, but not far behind. Continued improved conditioning and better focus not to foul, and he will get closer defensively as well.
Bynum is not at Howard's level. But, he's not far behind.
Not when Rashard Lewis & Turkoglu are jacking it up any chance they get. Jameer Nelson can also be an expert chucker when he wants.
Howard's getting 20 a night with hardly any offense run through him. His post skills may not be all that polished, but even with Bynum's great post skills he's not having nearly the impact on either end of the floor as Howard has.
All those skilled player who can just dunk have very long careers, just look at Kemp.
Bynum is nowhere near Howard's level.
a lot longer than people with post moves, huh?
i mean shaq, and duncan came and left, but kemp, he had a very long career.
