    i was on the "dmc best center in the league" wagon, but his team couldnt get to .500. the trade didnt do much at all.

    here's my list (bosh and davis are pfs forced to play center)
    dwight
    noah
    duncan (get real he's a center)
    dmc
    drummond
    jefferson (when healthy)

    I'm not sure Howard is the best at anything but he does a LOT well. After you combine all the categories together I think he's the best.

    Defenders can, in turn, get more physical with Dwight.

    Howard isn't miraculously going to improve his shooting because it's the 90s.

    Agreed 100

    They can, but I imagine Dwight would like that more than all the flopping.

    The things Dwight can do on the floor are unreal. Anthony Davis however is very quickly climbing that ladder. The problem with our Rockets is that outside shooting. If those shots are not falling and we can't stretch that floor we basically have no chance and it screws Dwight up. There is a reason why Mchale wanted Dunleavy. We need better three point shooters or at least one specialist. That'll make Dwight real awesome.

    I voted for Dwight but after seeing the 80's and 90's I do wonder where all the truly talented big men have gone. No one on that list, Dwight included, would be even considered as a best center candidate had they played in the 80's and 90's.
