Hmm..Tim DuncanElton BrandKevin GarnettYao MingShaquille O'Nealand Carlos BoozerThose are the names that automatically popped into my mind when I thought about making this topic. List some other guys that have great moves in the post.
Tim Duncan is a very honorable mention, he uses his size to get around people real quick, which is how he scores most of the time. His shot does need work though, but for post play Duncan is really up there, and his trun around can be compared to the best in the NBA im sure.
I know this sounds weird but I honestly think that Boozer is the best post player out of everyone in the game. He is undersized, but he is very quick and fast and finishes around the basket very well. I am basing this off of the few games that I have seen him play this year, but he has done a great job. When Utah played the Spurs, he did a number on one of the best low post defenders in the league in Tim Duncan. He has so much lift and explosion for a big man, and strength. He finds ways to score around the basket that guys like Tim Duncan and Yao Ming cant do.
Kevin Garnnetts post game is okay for a 7 footer....he really scores facing the basket. Just cause your a great big man doesn't mean you play in the post.
Al Jefferson has some of the best post moves and the softest hands I have seen. He's going to be a force once he puts it all together.

Hopefully he doesen't suffer any big injuries or have a decline. I'm really pulling for him.
I wouldn't put Curry in this group. He's so big and fat that its easy for him to muscle other Cs and PFs with smaller body frames. He doesn't quite have the post moves and touch that the other guys do.
Boozer has been a monster down low, and as he goes so go the Jazz. in their five losses Boozer has had bad games. Boozer has only really been dominated by one opposing PF, and that was Kevin Garnett. I like Boozer and all, and he is good but he isn't on par with KG. KG is a legand Boozer is just a borderline all-star.

He's still pretty good.Duncan, KG, Notwitzki, and Yao are better than JOBoozer and Elton Brand are on JO's levelShaq is decliningZach Randolph plays no D whatsoever
