Curry is in good shape??

Camby ends the season in December?

No, Samuel Dalembert is not a top5 Center. He is very good at rebounding at shotblocking, but from what I've seen of him, he can't score, and still needs to gain much more muscle. My top5 Centers:

1. Shaq
2. Yao Ming
3. Ben Wallace (Rasheed, whoever plays the 5 in Detroit)
4. Brad Miller
5. Theo Ratliff

No. Eddy Curry should also be in the mix there somewhere. I'm not sure where, though.

Yes. I believe he is now very close to the 285lbs that the Bulls want him to be.

Notice I said could be. They're not definitely going to have better years than Dalembert, but it's very possible.

Bank on it. I see him with a high chance of cracking the top-5 next season.

Right now, I see him as a top-10 center, #10 actually.

1. Shaq
2. Yao
3. B.Wallace
4. B.Miller
5. Ilgauskas
6. Camby
7. Dampier
8. Magloire
9. Ratliff
10.Dalembert

One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

again, if he puts up numbers close to the 12 / 12 / 4 he put up at the end of last year, and that he puts up on a per 40 min basis, he'll rank ahead of many of those guys. certainly ratliff and dampier, and possibly a couple others.

I say Dalembert is maybe the 7th best center behind:

(No Order)

Shaquille O'Neal
Brad Miller
Zydronus Ilgauskas
Jamaal Magloire
Marcus Camby
Yao Ming
Ben Wallace

Last 2 months of the season me nothing.

Curry did that 2 years ago we were excited then dissapointed. Only Curry still maintains good stats, and is a difference maker.

Will Dalembert be able to beat Eddy's 20 points and 8 rebs a game.

Will Curry's 20 points and 8 rebounds be able to beat Dalembert's 12 pounds, 12 rebounds, and 4 blocks a game?

It's easy to toss out numbers for the guy you obviously favor.
