Kaman votes no on Gasol, Bynum in All-Star game

You can't deny the extra 6 points from Kaman. It is harder to score points if the opposition focuses on stopping you.

Teams do not focus on stopping Kamen. He doesn't draw defensive attention like the great players in the league do. He gets his because his team sucks and no one feels a need to try and stop him from getting his points. The talent on the Clippers is pretty evenly distributed. They know they will win whether Kamen scores or someone else on the Clippers does. If teams actually made him the focal point of their defensive game plan he'd be a 10 PPG player.

To be fair it's pretty much the same with Bynum though, teams are much more worried about stopping Kobe/Gasol and he get's alot of easy points off put backs, offensive rebounds, and easy dunks off passes from Kobe. Rarely do the Lakers run plays for Bynum to score the ball. His post game isn't that polished.

Bynum's post game is actually quite good. He has excellent footwork in the post. He just needs another season or two to be polished in the post. The Lakers have been running plays for Bynum in the post but he doesn't get as many touches as he would on a lot of other teams because Kobe and Gasol are the focus of the offense. On a bad team like the Clippers he would put up 20-25 PPG.

I'm not so sure about that. His footwork and coordination still seem somewhat clumsy to me. I think in 1-2 years he could score 22ppg on a bad team

Gasol is way better than Kaman. But Kaman is really better than Bynum.

Chris Kaman is a center with the scoring efficiency of a guard. His TO rate is extremely high too... regardless of the pretty 20/9, this guy is very inefficient and not a premier center in this league. Bynum > Kaman.

Put either Gasol or Bynum on the clippers and they would be averaging at least what Kaman is easily. Gasol would probably be going for 26/14 a game on the clippers.

Kaman the best player on his team? Haha. He isn't even better than Camby. Baron has worlds more talent than Kaman.

Bynum would easily score 20-22 a game on the Clippers at a much better efficiency than Kaman does. The Clip Show would also be a better defensive team with Drew.

Lol Kaman.
