    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CBS Sportsline's Tony Mejia isn't as awed by Nenad Krstic as Bill Walton, who believes the Nets' 23-year-old was the NBA's second best center last year. Still, Mejia puts Krstic at No. 8, saying "he continued to improve last season to the point where you had to start considering the Nets' core as 'Big Four.'" Mejia lists the usual suspects above Krstic: Shaq, Yao, Amare, etc, but also believes the Clippers' Chris Kaman is better as well. </div>

    This year Krstic has to produce more than usual becuase we have a bad offensive frontcourt.

    If you think about it. There are not too many great Centers out there in the league. Krstic does not have much competition with an aging Shaq, undersized Ben Wallace, etc. Yao and Amare are really the only phenomenal centers out there (in terms of being #1 options and things like that). Not to take anything away from Krstic though, I am obviously a fan of him.

    That article is a load of BS. How is Dwight Howard better than Yao Ming? Pshhhhhhhh, is Howard even a center? Not the last time I checked. And putting Amare at #3 is pretty high, considering you just don't know how well he's going to do next year.

    And Chris Mihm is defintely better than Mohammad. Magloire, Pryzbilla, and Dalembert are definetely better than Mohammad...sigh...bad article...

    Krstic is up there, but he still has some way to go before he can be "top."

    i truely disagree..even though shaq is ageing it doesent mean hes getting weaker..shaq could flatout dunk over a skinny kristic anyday..ben wallace wouldnt let nenad get past him once..and if he tries,he will get the silly putty blocked outta him..and amare in his prime is definitly the best center
