If we're saying Okafor is a Top 5 center right off the bat, I disagree. Howard, Drummond, Noah, DeAndre Jordan, Marc Gasol, Horford, Big Al, Boogie Cousins and maybe even Vucevic are all going to be tough to be better than for rookie year. Bosh, if you consider him a center too.
Okafor is a much better player than most of the guys on your list, especially Howard, who has sucked forever. DeAndre Jordan made me laugh out loud.
you must be one of those guys that doesn't factor in defense, or even watch the NBA for that matter.
kind of like all the people that claim that o.g.y. is an nbu drafy pick

You must be one of those guys that appreciates Samuel Dalembert. And the artful skill of travelling before dunking. And the unwatchable shit bag of a product that is the Not Basketball Association.
DeAndre Jordan sucks.

BC, the next time "Bougie" Cousins plays defense, it will be the first.

his offensive and rebounding talents still make him Top 3, although you're right. DeAndre Jordan is the best rebounding center of the past 10 years, not to mention his oustanding defense.

flattered, but still waiting for elaboration. DJ's offensive game is shit, but thats fine when A) his defense and rebounding is elite and B) Blake Griffin's offense is there at the PF position

19 year old Jahlil Okafor is better than Dwight Howard? Wait, what? Maybe in terms of his potential, but right now no freakin' way. NBA is weak on centers right now, but the kid hasn't proved shit. Tons of these big man prospects burn out. Say what you want about Howard, but he took a team to the finals, and dominated in the playoffs last year while Harden choked.

People said the same thing about 19 year old Anthony Davis. And Dwight sucked ass when he was supposedly good, he's terrible now. Biggest guy in basketball lighting it up at 16 a game. About where Garnett was when he started have a fork in his back with the Cs.

An inanimate object is better than the Dwight Howard of the last 2-3 years. Anthony Davis is only 21 right fucking now and he is 19 times the player Dwight Howard is. 2011 Orlando called, they want their propaganda back.

The question remains, At 19 was Davis 21 times better than Howard?
No.

Dwight is having a down year. thing is, his down years still puts him well above average for an NBA center. not many centers can average 16 and 12 with almost 2 blocks. rookie year Anthony Davis was not better than Dwight was in that same year, but
now, yes. then again, A-D is arguably better than K-D.

Dwight Howard has always been terrible. But he's a down three years not one. He had a down career in
LA.

Did anyone else get frustrated watching Pat Connaughton, a kid from Arlington, play so well the last four years for ND when he should have been the star of BC's basketball and baseball teams? I love rooting for this kid, by all accounts he's the type you want at your school and in your sports programs. I just can't help being frustrated by the fact that he didn't go to BC.

We've had some pretty significant misses over the past few years. Add Shane Larkin, Jake Layman, and Cannen Cunningham to the mix. Larkin at one point was a BC favorite, but given the whole De Paul situation probably wasn't coming here. Cunningham and Layman though should be Eagles.
