No, he was not.
Kemp was a great physical specimen, and hne terrorized people on the break. But he was not a premier PF, all players considered. He lacked many things, most notably a post-up game. He also had very little basketball IQ.

It's not only Chuck, Mailman or Duncan. I would pick Kevin McHale, Kevin Garnett, Chris webber over him without the shadow of a doubt.

I'd put him in Larry Nance's competition. Not higher.
I guess I can agree. Webber at the time was very young in 94 (Rookie I think?) and KG didn't develop a great all around game until the late 90's. Other then Malone/Barkley, who else was there really at the PF position in the early-mid 90's Kemp era? (By Kemp era i mean the non Cleveland/Orlando Magic Kemp) Derick Coleman, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley?
