Clippers: 2nd best frontcourt in the NBA?

Elton Brand, Chris Kaman, and Corey Maggette(when he gets back)....

That is one helluva lineup in the frontcourt. They compliment each other well also. They are all excellent rebounders, all of them can block shots, all of them have good offensive moves(Brand and Kaman in the post, and Maggette slashing).

Kaman is doing his thing this year. Sam Cassell has helped all of these guys out. He said earlier in the year it's Elton's team. That sets the table when mututal respect is given.

Re: Clippers: 2nd best frontcourt in the NBA?

I was going to make a thread about Kaman, dude is just getting sick with it lately. He is going to be a really great center. Really good hands and feet, quick, good touch, and getting better and better. Elton Brand is Elton Brand.

I've never liked Maggette's game, but Brand/Kaman are balling. They play well of each other too. Definitely one of the best frontcourts.

Re: Clippers: 2nd best frontcourt in the NBA?

Clippers have an incredibly bright future, provided Sterling doesn't ruin everything once again, for the 400th time.

Livingston, Maggette, Brand, Kaman is a very solid core.

Pistons, Suns, Nuggets when healthy have better frontcourts.

How does Denver have a better frontcourt???

Kmart is garbage.. Elton brand owns him.

What players are you reffering to on the Nuggets.

I agree with Pistons and Pheonix... although I would take Brand over Amare or Marion, but IMO those two combined are better because of Kaman.

Kurt Thomas is a decent enough player, but he's still a weak link. Marion and Amare basically makes an unstoppable duo, though. You can add almost any third player and they'd easily be a top 5 trio in the league. Can't really judge until Amare comes back, though. He hasn't played a single game with Kurt Thomas. I still don't know if they'd be better overall than the Clippers' frontcourt.

And if you meant Diaw instead of Amare, definitely not.

Pistons have the best frontcourt in the league.

As for the Nuggets, that's more arguable than the Suns' frontcourt, IMO.

Spurs and Mavs also have top frontcourts.

Re: Clippers: 2nd best frontcourt in the NBA?

somehow I don't see Prince > Mags
and I'm not so sure that Sheed = Brand

I think Brand might get him.

Re: Clippers: 2nd best frontcourt in the NBA?

Kaman is averaging 11/9/1 in 33mpg, Thomas is averaing 9/8/1 in 27mpg.

Thomas plays better defense than Kaman.
