1. Shaquille O'Neal
2. Yao Ming
3. Ben Wallace
4. Jamaal Magloire - Has shown no signs of slowing down. Huge on the offensive glass, can hit jumpers and has a decent array of post moves.
5. Brad Miller
6. Zydrunas Ilgauskas - Will be a big part of the Cavs making the playoffs. Cavs can throw the ball down to him and expect a basket. Defense has greatly improved, still isn't great at attacking the boards.
7. Erick Dampier - Sure he just had a contract year, but that doesn't mean he'll stop rebounding.
8-10. Samuel Dalembert/Marcus Camby/Theo Ratliff - They can all block, run the floor, and get some points from offensive putbacks. None of them have any go to moves, and aren't stellar defenders either. Ratliff is the best shot blocker, but weak on the boards. Camby will be fighting for minutes with Nene, I don't see him putting up better numbers than last season. Dalembert isn't going to explode this season, he had a strong run at the end of the season but as we've seen before that doesn't mean anything.
It will be interesting to see how they pan out over the season.

"He's 7-6, turning and fading. You want a guy to turn out, unfortunately he was hitting the shot," Brown said. "What could I do? I had a hand up. I was, '(Man), another one.' Now I know what it's like when guys play against Kobe (Bryant)."--- Kwame Brown on Yao's 16-25 shooting performance
