I put Dwight Howard in the PFs list..and Analyst Diogu is very bulky and can play C. He played it sometimes for the Warriors this year, because of their lack of depth at the C position.
I'd put Nene on the list. He has only played in 3 NBA seasons and was poised for a breakout year last year before he tore his knee apart.While in rehab he reduced his body fat % while not losing any weight. If anyone know about recover that is almost unheard of. He looked great, physically at the end of last season. He is 23 years old and should be close to 100% when the season starts. Plus he is a lot more of a center then Ike Diogu is.
not perkins. yuck. i hate him after how bad he sucked in my Live06 C's dynasty. so i traded him and al jeff for frye and nate robanyway, I'd say Amare, once he fully recovers. Kaveman's been showing upside in every department except looks. As long as he steers clear of Evans, he'll be decent.
Emeka Okafor, IF he stays healthy, could be very good big man. Verg good defensively, solid offensively. Sort of a more offensive version of Ben Wallace.
I consider Darko more of a PF because of his lack of defensive rebounding for his size. And I don't expect him to 'break out' this year besides being one of the league leaders in blocks. His offense isn't consistent enough and he has trouble rebounding.

But Frye and Diogue = PF's, and Tyson Chandler has as good a post game as I do. He will never develope "it" on the offensive end. He will look better than he really is with CP3, but he will never have a servicable offensive game.Andrew Bynum anyone? He is a monster. He is still very young, I mean come on he's 1 year out of high school. But he is going to be a good player. He can play in the post with the biggest guys in the league, he is a very good rebounder, and he has a soft touch. He needs to improve defensively, like any young big man in the league (unless your name is Dwight Howard), but with time and coaching from Phil, I don't see how he can't be a top 10 center in the NBA down the road.

No back to the basket game, can't rebound well defensively... isn't that good defensively except for one-on-one shot blocking.. smells like a Dirk type power forward to me...

I think 85% of them are soft as hell, and that's why I strongly disagree with the Andrea Bargnani pick, and this is why we laugh at the Darko Milicic pick and the Nikoloz Tskitishvili pick. Oh, and Yaroslev Korelev, and Fran Vasquez. Euro big men are soft 4/5 times, and I don't think Darko will ever be a quarter of what he was projected to be, same with Bargnani.I think Darko will be a solid player, nothing special though. Like you said, he has no back to the basket game, not a great rebounder, and an average defender. Bargnani - soft, soft, soft. He will put points on the board, but he will never be a good rebounder, he will never be tough in the paint, and he will never be a good defender down low. I think Bargnani is the type of guy that will score (but, mostly only from shooting) and a boarderline bust. People will disagree with me now, but I don't care. He is as soft as they come, especially for a #1 pick! Wow.
