Cousins shoots 45%. He's 6'11" 260. I just cant take him seriously.

Why is Motiejunas up on your list? He just recently started getting minutes, and has been average.
He's actually been pretty good in the minutes he's played. He's shown flashes of the potential he demonstrated in the Summer League.

Faried 14-14 will lead the NBA in rebounds virtually every year.
he's only got to move up 11 spots
he rebound rate has also declined this year

he's still really young (only 22) and if he shot 50% he'd be putting up a 25+ PER
that's getting into superstar levels of production
you have to put all of this into perspective
he's currently 28th in PER as a 22 year old, traditional center

Well he had no NBA experience. People probably built him up too much before he came over and expected an immediate impact, but he's acquitted himself nicely.

Derrick Favors. When he gets minutes, he's an animal

You missed Love and Bynum. Who, despite the injuries, would still belong in your top tier. And Ibaka doesn't belong in the 1st tier. 13.5/8/3 is good, but it isn't star material or star production.
More like an embarrassment of solid players.

when i thought up this thread he was the first on my mind, then i forgot to include him. he's #1 now

Bynum
i think he's done

look at his efficiency and defense
that production is a function of the team he's on and his role, and is a good example of why absolute production isn't the end all/be all of analysis anymore

Missing Thad Young
Posted on 3/16/13 at 3:06 pm to SlowFlowPro
Where is Bynum?
ETA: Ah, I see. I don't think he is done. When he is healthy, he is incredibly productive.

He's playing as a stretch 4 now
Posted on 3/16/13 at 5:58 pm to SlowFlowPro
That might be what he plays for Orlando at the moment, but hes a 3. Exact same type of player as Paul George or Nic Batum. Dont see them on your list.

You're including a lot of smaller 4's. When people say that they are referring to true centers, which are pretty rare.

Counting Gallo as a big is crazy
