Well, it's sorta like Orlando, but with better defenders, and a natural PF: C - Dwight Howard PF - Drew Goodens SF- No. SG - Joe Johnson PG - Jameer Nelson

I'm not liking the Nelson pick. He was one of the better PG's left, but I don't think thats saying much. Didn't Howard want them to get another PG (the one he played with in high school or whatever) because he wants a guy who can actually feed him the ball?

Drew Gooden is a total failure. He has a decent baseline jumper and he'll occasionally rebound. That's it. Horrible player. Good defense my ass.

Gooden put up 14.6 and 9.3 boards in 31 MPG for the Bulls. 1.7 BPG, too. His defense is average, not horrible. He may end up playing a lot of C for the Bulls this coming season.

What stats can I use to disprove this, since I didn't get to watch Orlando last year and can't simply say he's a better defender?

Brendon Haywood is a decent center. Hedo plays good defense. He always has. He's not a lockdown guy, but he's smart and manages to stay in front of his man. Hedo+Lewis >>>>>>>>> JJ+Gooden in every way, especially in a lineup with a center like Howard.
