hmmm.....topic sounds familiar. but you know, if the same topic is brought up a dozen more times i'll reply 2 dozen more times.

as much as i like hakim's game he does not play like ak. ak has handle, can shoot from anywhere, and is a much better shotblocker. MUCH. i believe he's first in the league. there are a couple of guys on my radar. josh boone - conn. (this kid can rebound like okafor, and is almost as good of a shotblocker)wayne simien - kansas. (i know he's another pf, but this guy as BRIGGS says is another boozer)nate robinson - washington. (i know, he's only 5'9. but be carefull 'cause he'll fly right by YOU and dunk on your center)

that's just to name a few on my radar, there's also a couple more that i have'nt gotten to see enough of to comment on. like ryan gomes of prov. if he can play the 3 spot he's also an option. this kid is a solid scorer and has really developed his 3 point range. has a real nice form on his release. channing frye/arizona, julius hodge/nc state are a couple more.
