    Once again I appreciate everyone who's been reading so far. The reason that I went with a ranking style of article here is because that's what sparks up the most conversation. I understood going in that no one is going to agree and think I perfectly ranked everyone between these positions. I like to think that it's well written, though, and that most of the meat is in the writing. So I urge ya to please read as well, as opposed to simply scrolling through, and deciding Player A is better than Player B so it's not worth a read.

    Thanks again for everyone who has taken some time to read it so far. I plan on updating throughout the off season and the season, and for me this is all a way to try to keep my mind active instead of simply going home at midnight after work every night and getting drunk. :grin:

    See this is what annoys me. Being a complete player and having a larger arsenal in your game doesn't make you a better player.

    One of those all stars, Jameer Nelson, played 90 minutes in the playoffs.

    Stop lol ... Dwight Howard is better player than Marc Gasol, but Gasol is more skilled and smarter player than Howard. Dwight played very well in the 1st round even though the Rockets lost. IMO Dwight Howard is the better leader of the Rockets.

    Howard peaked in Orlando. He's one of the stars I've seen that don't get better as his career goes further, which is unfortunate.

    Noah isn't better than Howard though. The center position still sucks balls.

    The old Noah has zero offense but he has improved significantly. He has a better mid range "jumper" than DH, for example.

    But what does he necessarily do worse?

    I think Tristan Thompson would be a great PF for this team IMO.

    I think Anthony Davis next year will be the either number 1 or 2 in the PF department.

    Predictions on Anthony Davis's stats this season?
    Is 24 points, 10 rebs, 3 assists, on 54% shooting and 80% from the line reasonable?
    Thanks.
