Deke's rebounds slipped to under 10RPG and his blocks were

barely at 2BPG.

He went for 11PPG to 12.2PPG,but his rebounding and blocking

(What is know for)has dipped....Maybe he is declining?

All had great years as one of the best centers in the game. Yet all of them declined.

If i wanted a center on the team, i would want:

1)Mutombo

2)Robinson

3)Olajuwan

4)Ewing

in that order. At their prime, i'd take Olajuwan over all the other guys. Olajuwan and Ewing are now bench players (or they should be). Robinson is declining fast and so is Mutombo.

Deke will really show his age in NJ. I actually expect him to get hurt this year and miss a lot of time. He has really lost a step. Babs moved him at the right time.
