    Chris Kaman 7-0 255
    Melvin Ely 6-10 260
    Wang Zhizhi 7-1 275
    Cheroke Parks 6-11 240
    or the aging Olden Polynice 7-0 250

    I'd start Chris Kaman, I mean, what do you have to lose? He looks decent so far in preseason.

    -Kaman looked fine for a rook last night, and he was playing against Shaq and Malone.
    -Polynice has some experience, but is aging.
    -Ely isn't a scrub, and can be decent at times. Not starting material IMO.
    -Wang has some limited skills, but I think he is more meant from coming off the bench.
    -Parks is washed up and a freak IMO. Enough said.

    You forgot to add Drobnjak to the list...He is a shooting big man..but still played the center spot in Seattle...

    I however would give the starting spot to Kaman..he Has looked good in pre-season....

    Parks isn't even on the Clippers now...He is playing for the Heat

    Oh yeah, Parks isn't even on the Clipps anymore and now they have Drobnjak. How could I forget?

    In that case, Predrag may not be a bad choice. He has played and can shoot the oustide shot. Perhaps split time between him/Kaman/Polynice?

    Its a Tough choice on how they will spread the minutes at the 4 and 5. I think 1 of Wilcox or Ely should be moved. One of them for Morris Peterson would be nice for both teams. I would go with Drobnjak To start of the season with Ely and Kaman backign him up.
