    What do you guys think?Worst:Sonics: Gelabale, Chris Wilcox and Nick Collison.. - all of these guys are below average starters. Best out of the three is Chris Wilcox, who can't post up and averaged 13 and 8...Other teams with bad frontcourts are the 76ers, Hawks, Hawks, Celtics, Lakers and Bucks. Actually, there are alot of teams with pretty bad frontcourts. I'll only mention these names though.Best:Toss up between Suns and Nuggets. Suns have Amare Stoudemire, Boris Diaw and Shawn Marion. Nuggets have Carmelo, Marcus Camby, and Nene...Boris and Nene aren't very good players, but Melo is a top 10 player in this league, and Marcus is DPOY and a good Center. Amare and Shawn are very good players and all stars. It's hard for me to say....Other teams with good frontcourts are the Jazz, Clippers, Mavericks, Cavaliers and Bulls

    I agree, the Sonics have the worst frontcourt...they've been swinging to get somebody to fix it completely but have been always missing. Petro needs work, Swift might not ever come into form, and who knows if Saer Sene and that 7'8 wingspan will work out. Wilcox was having the best season of his career but he's only OK and Collison has never lived up to potential. Rashard is great, but it looks like he probably won't stay...The Pistons, Heat, and Spurs have pretty nice frontcourts, and the Suns probably have the best.

He can hit that little jumper, he's athletic and strong, decent rebouner...Saer Sene is a shotblocking monster, but too much of an offensive project to make any immediate impact.

    I agree with CB4 saying Suns and Nuggets. Marion/Amare are about even with 'Melo/Camby, but I think Nene is better than Diaw looking at the way Nene dominated towards the end of last season.

If not, my mistake. And we're talking about starting lineups here....

    The Best is going to be Portland easily. So much depth and talent there.Oden,Aldridge,Randolph,Outlaw,Webster,Pryzbilla,etc. obvious choice.Surprised im first to mention it.

I havent given up on Martell Webster yet either(although he was drafted a bit too early)technically sf isnt apart of the frontcourt anyway though.
