I agree with everything except Wallace at 5. Chris Webber at 5 for me.

really you put Stat over the Bruiser? 3 through 5 I would agree with any other order pretty much but man, Boozer has just been a beast.

I think Okur needs to get added- as to why I didn't rank Boozer higher- I just need to see him perform like this for a bit longer- granted he's been a monster.

DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

Okur is replacing Big Ben at no. 5 for me.

What do you think about how Boozer's been playing? I know you've been one of his critics in the past.

He's been great. He's really improved since a few years ago. Putting him ahead of Ben was tough, but Boozer's been that good. His interior post game, hustling for the basketball, and I even feel he's playing better defense than he used to.

Tough to fathom that out of the guys coming out of Duke, that Boozer was going to be the best one. The other three were high lottery picks (#2 Jay Williams, #3 Mike Dunleavy, #6 Shane Battier). Well I always hated Dunleavy... most overrated role player in history coming out of college.

But, regardless, yeah, Boozer's been great. I've always been a big supporter of Kirilenko, and Okur, Williams, Millsap, etc... have been a great core. Utah's future is looking brighter. I still think it centers around Kirilenko, though, who makes the job easier for everyone else on the floor with his unselfish play, and terrific defense. He's really stepped up in the playoffs to show once again he's one of the top players in the league. With Boozer also playing at that high a level, Utah will be tough to stop (unless your name is Phoenix).

I agree on all that. I think Boozer knows his strengths and plays within them very well. They're a fun team to watch. Kirilenko's good but I think he's been a bit disappointing. I know his defense is his best asset but I've been surprised by how low his rebounding has been in many games.

1) Stoudemire
2) Boozer
3) Duncan
4) Sheed or CWebb
5) Sheed or CWebb.

I don't understand how Stoudemire is not an MVP candidate after the season he's had.

Kurt Thomas gets honorable mention. I always thought he's played tough defense on Timmy.

I just think Stoudemire has been absolutely magnificent these playoffs and his rebounding gave something the Suns just didn't have last season, and Boozer has been almost just as impressive. Actually, I should really put him on the same level. Duncan has been the typical Duncan, but for some reason, he hasn't stood out too much, to me. I betcha Camby and Nene wore the shizat outta him.
