What's the consensus on him? Top 5 PF? Top 3 PF? He's been a monster in the paint since he arrived in Memphis.

Right on the fringe of the top5....definitely a beast. Did you see that pass in the first half to Allen?

He and Gasol make-up a great frontcourt...both are very underrated

With the lack of quality centers, Gasol is probably top 3-5 there like Z-Bo at the 4. I think Memphis is missing just one piece to become a contender. What is the piece? I dunno.

I haven't watched Gasol play that much until this series and I have been very impressed.....

amare? kg? scola?


then you have guys who are very close to ZR, on a very similar level: bosh, d-lee, duncan, aldridge

and then other guys who are really close, but probably just below: boozer, horford, brand, cousins/griffin, etc

Imagine if they would have drafted Steph Curry or Tyreke Evans instead of Thabeet two years ago.

frick no

david lee? seriously? did you mean the other white guy (kevin love)?

duncan is declining and getting owned in this very series

bosh and aldridge are jumpshooters, which hurts their value. bosh is #5 behind z-bo, imho

curry? maybe

evans? i dunno. they need a pure point or a good shooter. curry is a great shooter. evans would hog the ball and keep it from zbo, which would make zbo go crazy

scola and kg are both top5 right now (probably 4 & 5 respectively)


david lee is awesome and definitely top10.

i did forget to add love, he's right up there as well.

don't know about getting "owned", but he is definitely declining and that's why I didn't list him in the top tier.

neither bosh nor zr are top5 imo

Amare playing the 5 so much had me off, but if you count him as a straight 4 he's better than Z-Bo.

No way is Scola a top 5 PF.

You remember when you, Les, and I were pretty much the only people defending the Griz for aquiring him?
