    People compare Dwight to D Rob all the time. What I have stated is by no means a stretch. If anything I believe it is a very accurate evaluation. I do believe I have flattered Dwight Howard if anything. D Rob played in the best era of big men, while Dwight has had to compete with only Yao, Shaq at the end of his prime, Bynum, Pau (at times), Timmy D (at times) and lets throw KG (at times). Compare that to Hakeem, Ewing, Zo, Shaq, Vlade, Daugherty, Mutombo, heck even Rick Smits. I feel D Rob would destroy the NBA today, but thats just my opinion

    Ahh I see. I thought you were debating it for the other way. I agree. Honestly It should probably be D Rob>>> Howard. But if we are going off stats, then >= or > is probably a safe bet

    Yeah, its fine. Just wanted to point out that DRob is an absolute beast and Howard would have no chance.

    So we are basing this on stats instead of looking at prime competition and matchup? I don't get it.

    No we are def looking at the latter. Otherwise Wilt would be drafted #1 overall everytime. I just wanted to mention the stats in case some people don't understand or didn't realize the big competition gap that exists between today's NBA and the NBA of the 90s.

    Still feel like some are forgetting that I have Cooper on Jordan and Bron on KD, makin two great defenders on his main scorers. Don't see him winning on offense when I have Bron. vs. KD plus Rob&Walt goin off against his two bigs. Feel like I'd have at least 15 points advantage in that.

    And that 15 points if Dwight&Yao play their best defensive games ever somehow, they would probably get murdered.

    Dwight will tire himself chasing 4's and will not have enough gas on offense.

    I dont want to get involved in the discussion too but you'll have problems with spacing especially on offense.. I mean they are better in their natural position.. Dirk can play SG but he's a 4 because he's better at that position..
    Playing them out of position is terrible thing to do.. Especially with yao and dwight who really dominate inside the paint.. You cant put them both there.. Someone has to be outside whos mobile enough to run around chasing shooters and knock down midrange J.. I really like dwight and robinson but i dont think they will be effective playing the 4.. Also, Frazier is like westbrook with lockdown defense, ball dominant, mj is ball dominant.. Dwight is ball dominant.. Passing is very important.. With these fantasy drafts, it is better to have 2-3 guys who pass the ball amd make teammates better.. This is not an all star game..

    Out of 30 threads in this forum, 17 of them are every iteration of some form of this silly game you keep playing and re-playing. Enough is enough.

    absolutely. Dwight's role in this lineup is exclusively defense and muscling out people, he's the 5th option offensively. Cuts, hustle points and occasional transition points. (Though to be fair, it's not like he'll have to chase the power forward that much in this particular matchup.)

    But it was a comment regarding your particular statement that Yao is a better 4 than Dwight, which makes no sense to me. Dwight fills the PF role defensively much better.

    ? why does it matter to you. Don't look at them. :rolleyes:
    I don't think it hurts the forum either, impressions ftw and there seems to be enough of bandwidth.

    when you have 3 going on at once, nonstop, it is becoming a problem for any other thread being read.

    You guys are staring a new round every 2 weeks.
