Gasol is ahead of Kwame because of his knowledge of the game playing pro ball already but give it 3 years and Brown , Chandler and Curry may be on or past that level, I'm certain kwame will, he's closing that gap already.
When Yao starts doing his thing everbody who talked the talk will regret it also same things were being said about Kenyon Martin before he started to tear people up.

Kwame looks like a different player this year. Last year, he looked lost. He didn't do anything well. Curry and Chandler both did certain things very well last year, they just had a lot of weaknesses as well. That's why they got a lot of props when Brown got bashed.
I have to question your calling Curry slowfooted. Time to watch Eddie play a bit more. Definitely not slowfooted, at all. He has amazing footspeed and agility for somebody his size. This is actually one of his strengths. It honestly has nothing to do with his defensive struggles at all. He clogs the lane and plays one on one defense just fine. He's a step behind mentally, and gets confused if his man isn't right in front of him. This is where Curry comes up short.
IMO, Ming is in the same boat as Brown was last year. He's not doing much out there at all. He needs to show an outside J, some shotblocking skills, a fluid post game - at least something that he can build on. Until then, he's not going to get much respect at all.
Where you Kwame bashers at?
