Did you see the list of top 5 PF from KG? He put in Rasheed Wallace and took out Dirk 

You forgot C Webb on your list m. Webber was a bad boy. Imagine Chris Webber with his big hands working the pick n rolls with Trae. Wow.

CWebb was so bad, he didn't need Trae.  IF JC had half of Webber's ball handling, JC would be a perineal Allstar. 

If I were saying top 5 PFs in Modern era.. (After 1980).   With Rings off the Table because Jordan was the GOAT.

 

1.  Tim Duncan

2.   Karl Malone

3.   K.G.

4.   Giannis

5.   Dirk 

HM:  Charles Barkley, CWebb, KD, Kevin McHale, AD, Pau Gasol, CBosh, and Amare...

As I thought even further.. Reign Man Shawn Kemp has to be Honorably mentioned too.

In fact, a prime Amare Stoudemire vs. a Prime Shawn Kemp vs. a Prime AD??

Interesting.  Young Kemp didn't shoot from outside.

I can’t believe I forgot rain ️ 

[Spud2nique]

Rain ️ is 7!

[Diesel]

It's interesting.  I would say that Reignman Shawn Kemp was probably the most Physically dominating player between Wilt and Shaq??

Shawn Kemp vs. Darryl Dawkins  vs.  Amare' vs. Shawn Marion...

Will AJ Griffin be the guy to replace Hunter... not later, but this year

He just might. 

He gets it - shoots, passes, defends, plays unafraid......for a rookie.

Griff Money has something about him.   Maybe because he's a coach's son but he plays the game unafraid (as you said).     Maybe Next year we see him with the starters.

IF Culver shows to be a good BU and the right trade comes along, I can see us moving from Hunter this year so that there's enough money to resign DJM.  And still get good trading pieces.

Good luck moving Dre contract...Why in the world would Schlenk extend him early with his injury history? Good grief..

It is obvious to anyone that watches basketball that AJ is going to be a much, much better player than Hunter and it isn't going to take long.

The feel baby the feel. Hunter has the same problem as Marv he’s too damn mechanical with his movements. I mean it looks cleaner and more fundamental but AJ gets the ball the hole … that can’t be emphasized enough.

Hunter is still a three and D player.   Somebody will get their whistle wet wanting him. 

I wasn't altogether Joking when I said:  Hunter for Mark Williams and Cody.  However, after the offseason, maybe sweeten that pot by taken on Heyward's contract for Charlotte.  I don't know all the numbers but:

Hunter/Bogi for Hayward, Cody, Williams and 2 1st rounders.

We need Williams tonight!  0017 is all alone!  Get him some help!

[macdaddy]

I think Hunter is who he's going to be right now and that's pretty good.   AJ has better offensive tools but he's rough on D and he's a little undersized at the 3.   We're a long way from being able to put him on the other team's star player and we really have no one else to do that.   He'd get eaten alive right now trying to guard a lot of the stars in this league.

Doesn't it hurt that Culver walks right in to 10 rebounds during his first real game.  Hunter has done that like twice in three seasons.

If Culver plays tonight and gets double digit rebounds,   We all should look at hunter like:
