>>..i said he's top 5 among active centers >> >yeah that's pretty much a statement of the blatantly obvious, >however if you think he's in the Top 2 wouldn't you have just >said that rather than 'arguably Top 5'.
you might wanna try that bullshit spiel with lesser sports enthusiast. that shit doesn't ride with me, fam.
>Let me try this one more time: where does Bynum currently rank >among NBA centers, how many are rated ahead of him & who?
i don't view players like most. while bynum has displayed flashes of an incredible potential (stats & beyond), i also take into consideration his health, endurance, drive, composure, basketball iq, skill set, ability to execute in crunch time, as well as the obvious (size, speed, & strength).
while he scores high marks in drive, skill set, and execution (as well as the obvious), he still has a few issues regardin' health/endurance, composure, & b-ball iq.
*please note: b-ball iq is subjective, but mostly relevant in regards to adjustments (in-game AND throughout a season/career).
in order to crack my top ten, you have to lock down these intangibles. in order to crack the top five, you have to dominate. it order to earn the top spot, you have to do dominate consistently over time (5 yrs or more).
*also note: while the top spot is always coveted, the order of ranking from 2-5 (or 6-10) is pretty much irrelevant, since the only thing that really matters in that convo is - who earns the top spot.
while drew is an impressive player, he needs a few more yrs playing at the level displayed this past season to solidify the top spot.
the verdict is still out on bynum, but he could very well prove to be the best of the active centers currently in the league.
..and miles to go before i sleep...
