    Tim Duncan is the best all-time...so I don't think there's too much debate about number one right now.

    That said, I think KG is a decently close second.

    2. Dirk
    3. KG
    4. Boozer
    5. Amare

    Why isn't David West an option?

    If GMs had to draft those PFs from a pool including Beasley... I wonder where Beasley would go.

    i disagree. i definitely don't think he's the best power forward, but he should definitely be involved in the discussion. he's averaging 20 and 9 this season, shooting at 47% from the field. those offensive numbers are on par with kevin garnett and tim duncan, although i'm not saying he's as dominant as them (mainly because he's not renowned for his defense as they are). but chris paul is not the only reason why - watching their games, he has a back-to-the-basket game (and can face up his opponent as well since he can shoot the jump shot).

    I think Duncan is more of a Center than a PF.

    I voted KG but Amare is really good too.

    Ya i agree with you, but sometimes people have those crazy years and come back down to earth...David West might be the real deal, but i want to see it next year too before i put him in the same catogory as Tim and Garnet

    All Time - Duncan

    Right Now - Tie between Duncan and KG

    Amare doesn't play defense anywhere near the level of TD or KG.

    tim is possibly the greatest of all time if you consider him a PF, but hes fallen off a little..KG is the best right now, duncan is third and amare is third only because he plays no d

    What about Okafor? He definitely rates right up there with the Jamisons & Bosh's.

    Imagine if Orlando had someone that could play center & Howard was moved to PF. Could anyone hang with him?

    I think I'll be a homer & write in Chuck Hayes just to confuse things. :D

    take away paul pierce from the celtics, and see how far kg can take them.

    to me, jamison fits in any kind of system. which is why i pick him over amare and boozer. i also think kg is very overated, while jamison is underrated.
