I guess its still up for debate. Lets see if another year of Horford getting abused will change peoples minds. At the end of the year I thought it was understood that the Hawks needed a legit center.

Top 10 NBA Centers 2009-2010 Written by Boyd Madsen Monday, 16 November 2009 16:25 I wrote this whole piece once, then the browser failed, and I lost it, so screw this crap. Here you go: 10. Andrea Bargnani-hard to respect a man named Andrea 09. Andrew Bogut-probably thought he had escaped Michael Redd's indiscriminate jacking of threes only to have Brandon Jennings join the team 08. Brook Lopez- His brother is named Robin, isn't he? You have to wonder what effeminate, androgynous name his parents would have given a triplet. Terry? 07. Mehmnet Okur- Best 3 point shooting center in the league. Which might be a bad thing. Also, cool hair. 06. Marcus Camby- Awesome on defense. Awful looking shot. I could finish the NY Times crossword puzzle in the amount of time it takes him to get off a jumper. 05. Joakim Noah-You could kick a field goal through the gap in his teeth. Well, you could if you were awesome at kicking and used a very small football. Noah is good at basketball, though. 04. Al Jefferson-Big Al has lost a lot of weight. He will now be called Medium Al. Medium Al is good at post moves, which I like. 03. Andrew Byum-It must be awesome to be 8 feet tall. 02. Tim Duncan- Don't call him a power forward. If you are the tallest man on your team and guard the opposition's tallest player, you are a center. Also, good bank shots. 01. Dwight Howard- Not only the biggest guy, but the biggest dork. Dwight is not cool at all, but he can sure dunk that basketball. “Najeh you really didn’t expect T-s to be truthful about the article, did you”

They have no shooters and Mike Miller probably won't start. If Mike Miller starts, you attack Bosh at Center (too bad Horford is too small to play Center).

While you’re at it, you might as well post an article from the same time period about how Rajon Rondo is the 19th best starting point guard in the league." Najeh you really didn't expect T-s to be truthful about the article, did you? I knew it was some wrtier's BS as soon as I read the part on Yao, who the writer calls "a terrific rebounder". The same writer claims that Tyson Chandler is "the best defensive center in the league". There goes the old cred. Yao's career rebound avg.? 7.8 rebounds / gm Not so terrific by me Horford's career rebound avg?: 9.6 rebounds / gm And that will be going up. Najeh,
