He never gets the credit he should get. Pekovic is one of my favorite players, I have been screaming at the tv for years for Adelman to use him properly. This is a bad list, Hibbert is not a good offensive player, but he is top 10 (he is a top 5 center, how many centers would indiana trade him for).
I named 4 and that's off the top of my head. I dare say Laker fans think their guy was better...so go ahead and chuckle.
trueWarp? Can we just go ahead and keep made up advanced stats in MLB please? No need for that in the association.
I'm ok with this list except for Cousins and Drummond. Cousins is overrated and his team doesn't win, by the time Dwight was 22 his team had 56 wins and his teammates sucked. Drummond is not there yet. Davis has got the Duncan Hakeem factor, I like him. Dwight could also have much more bloated stats on lesser teams or a team that features him. I think he is being very mature about the current situation and that is good because we all know that Harden will not (D up lazy!).
Moses...but in honesty I really only think Wilt, Russell and Kareem were definitely better. Malone, Shaq, Dream and I guess Duncan are probably in the same elevator.
Seems this TrueWARP stuff overrates good players on bad teams. The list would make a lot more sense with Davis, Cousins and Drummond at the bottom of the top 10 rather than the top.
Now that Bynum talks have surfaced, does he crack the current top 10? I would venture to say that Bynum is at least better than P Gasol.
You ask any Rockets fan, 99 out of 100 will tell you that Moses is clearly not on the same level as Hakeem. And they will remember what Hakeem did to Shaq in the finals. Were you even alive when all those guys played?
I remember all but Russell playing (granted Wilt was not in his prime). As far as numbers Malone was off the charts for the Rockets. His last 3 years in Houston he AVERAGED 27 and 15...Hakeem never had any seasons with 27 and 15. As far as the playoffs, in fairness to Shaq, he was a 22 year 2nd year player and Hakeem was a veteran. Dream took 26 shots per game to average his 33 while Shaq took 16 to score his 25.7. Don't get me wrong, I think he was tremendous...just not the best.
