S Dalembert is top 5 center?
Samuel Dalembert has a lot of potential. Will he be top 5 center in 04-05 season?
Based on the stats

no, he won't be. He's going to be a good big man, but not a top 5.

He is a solid center but not top5...IMO he isn't top 10:
BigBen
Shaq
Magloire
Yao
B Miller
J Oneal (if he plays C)
Duncan (if he plays C)
Nesterovic
Bosh
Ilgauskas
Theo Ratliff
...

I would EASILY take Dalembrt over Nesterovic. What has Nesterovic proven? all he has is a 12 foot shot.

He CAN be Top 5 at the end of the year, the way he's improving....
Top 5 centers right now IMO
1)Shaq
2)Yao
3)Brad Miller
4)Magloire
5)Z
Then after that, there's Theo and POSSIBLY Dampier, then Sam.

well, if he averages the 12.3 ppg, 12.4 rpg, 52% fg% and 4.4 bpg he put up the last month of last year, he'll rank pretty high. if he averages the 10.4 / 10.5 / 54% / 3.2 he averaged the last 2 months, he'll still be pretty high. and his per minute total stats suggest that if he gets the minutes, he'll get the boards and the blocks. much better rebounder than ratliff, and likely will be a better offensive weapon as well.

Since when are Brad Miller and Erick Dampier scorers(especially Dampier)? Having good scorers on their team isn't going to lower their value, Dampier will just have more rebound opportunities playing on the Mavs and their uptempo style(not to mention they have no other good rebounders). And why do you put Theo Ratliff in the Top 5, but refuse to admit Ben Wallace in there? As for Dalembert being a Top 5 center, I don't think he will be next season, but he'll certainly be Top 10.
Shaq and Yao are without a doubt better now, and will be this season, no arguments there. I see Magloire having a big season, he really started to show what he's capable towards the end of the year last year. Don't give me the "he's in the West now" garbage, because it doesn't work like that. Ilgauskas is still one of the best scoring centers in the league, and an adequate rebounder(having Boozer out will pad his rebounding stats a bit, although Drew Gooden is an underrated rebounder himself). Brad Miller will be starting at center this season where he belongs now that Vlade's out, and in the Kings system he should put up nice rebounding and assist stats, and 14 or 15 points per game as well. There's five right there, and for next year I could easily see Eddy Curry, Ben Wallace, Theo Ratliff or Marcus Camby being better than Dalembert too.
