The thing about these lists is that you have to be a proven winner. There isn't a GM in the league who would take Duncan over Amare, but Duncan is a proven winner so he tops the list. Carlos Boozer is a mistake to me, the dude has got to be the most overrated big man in the game. He has never really had to play without a great player around him.

I went through that list and outside of Amare Stoudemire and Bosh LMA will be better then any of the PF's listed in 2-4 years when he is in his prime. Most of the other 7 players listed ahead of LMA will be done or almost done and past their prime or are hardly any better now and LMA is going to improve where the other players are all ready in their prime. Maybe D.West is the one exception and might really improve with LMA. I really think by looking at those ranking LMA has a chance to be the best PF or no worse then top 3 in 2-4 years when is in his prime. That is if no other really good PF's coming in the draft the next couple years that are better. I also think Oden will be no worse the top 4 center behind Yao, Howard and Bynum in 2-4 years when Oden is in his prime. I actually think Yao will be almost done and Oden will be better then Bynum. So, Howard is the only possible center that could be better then Oden in 2-4 years. I think there is a good chance Oden might be as good or better then Howard. So, it looks like we have a chance to have the best or close to the best PF and center in the NBA. I love Roy and think he is going to be in the top 5-10 SG's. If this all happens we really will have something to watch in the next 10 years. I know your going to think I'm like Kingspeed but I do think there is a good chance if they stay healthy we could have 3 players in the top 5 no worse the top 10 at their position.
Yeah, but LMA doesn't necessarily have the offensive pressure on him that Bosh does. Bosh is the #1 option on that team, whereas LMA has Roy to share the load with. The more the ball runs through a player, the more likely he'll make mistakes. Jason Kidd was always one of the highest in turnovers, simply because he has the ball in his hands and he takes risks.
I wasn't a big fan of Bosh until I watched him in the Olympics. Reminds me a lot of KG. I don't have a problem with LMA being ranked 10th, by the end of the year I expect him to be top 7.
