i doubt it. amare will be closer to a mdyess talent player without the injury and Hilario will be a 18-12 guy at best IMO.
1) Tim Duncan 2) Chris Webber 3) Kevin Garnett 4) Dirk Nowitzki I think the drop off is really after the top 4. 5) Elton Brand/Jermaine O'Neal Rasheed Wallace is one of the most overrated players in the league.
1. Garnett 2. Duncan 3. Webber 4. Nowitzki 5. O'Neal 6. Brand 7. R Wallace 8. Walker 9. B Wallace 10. Abdur-Rahim Honorable Mention: Kurt Thomas, Karl Malone, Pau Gasol
Antoine Walker is one of the most overrated players in the NBA. There's no way he's ahead of Wallace, Jermaine O'neal, or Brand...and probably not Shareef. If you really got nitpicky you could say O'neal is a top 3-5 PF...if Duncan was considered a C, and KG a SF. In a couple of years Jermaine may be better than Garnett anyway.

My list: (I've discussed each of these in my earlier posts) Garnett Duncan R. Wallace Walker O'Neal Brand Webber Nowitzki Rahim B. Wallace ...and I haven't seen enough of Gasol to comment. Most overrated: Karl Malone (with new zone defenses that can draw him 15ft away from the basket, he isn't a superstar anymore; also, he was never as efficient as he could be because of his foul shooting)
How can anybody rate Wallace that high. If this was a steetball contest, maybe. As is, he still can be as detrimental to his team as he is useful. Walker is usually overrated, too, but has put up signficantly better stats than Wallace throughout his career. Walker's main issue is that he shoots way too many 3 pointers. OTher than that, though, he is a very good PF.

I am a very big fan of Gasol, but I don't consider him a true PF because he can play SF, PF or C. Gooden better than Gasol? I don't think so, Gasol does the little things like blocking shots, making good passes, stealing the ball, and he rebouds just as good as Gooden does. I hope Gasol leaves the Grizzlies, but Gooden and Gasol could be a very good 1, 2 punch in the future. Gooden reminds me of Karl Malone, any one else notice this?
