I don't think it's that difficult to be a great finisher when you are running with the best playmaker in the league(Steve Nash).
Dwight
Dwight is GREAT in what he has going for him (Defense), but his offense is lacking quite a bit. There are games when he is only able to put up 4 shots, and that is simply unacceptable from a guy who you would consider to be in the top 10...Shaq, at 100 years old, still shuts him down to this day...You compare Dwight with Bosh, but when the 2 go head-to-head, Bosh does just as much damage as Dwight does. Bosh outdoes Dwight with his quickness and range on one end of the court, whereas Dwight simply overpowers Bosh on the other end....only difference is, I can't really blame Bosh for not being able to contain Dwight because Bosh could simply play the 4-spot instead of the 5 which is where he truly belongs.
I don't know where you come off saying that Bosh has only 3post-moves...About the "jab" thing...It's not his "move" but rather just his way of reading how the defense will respond. A lot of the time it just makes the offense stagnant and, in turn, allows the defense to relax, which in college and high school ball would obviously be a bad thing, but this is the NBA; The NBA game, more often than not, revolves around isolation for star players to "do their thing".
Dirk
I have no idea where you come off saying that he "disappears"...He had a very good showing in last year's post-season and he shot above 50% from the field....Now that he has some decent threats down low in Haywood and Chandler, I think he will shine even more this year.
Gasol
I would put up a very strong arguement that Gasol is the most skilled center in the league. However, what has put him over the top is that he's developed a more physical, aggressive mindset.
Amare
I wonder if Felton will do anything for Amare. Either way, it's quite the downgrade from a Steve Nash.
Granger
Agreed
Nash
I love Nash, but I just can't put him in my top 10 and the reason being his defense. He gets destroyed in the post-season on the defensive end by the elite point gaurds, particularly Tony Parker. Last post-season was an exception, however Parker was just coming off an injury and was still clearly affected by it. Offensively, however, I would argue that Nash is still the best play-maker in the league till this day.
Amare
Why would Amare get more posessions in New York than in Phoenix? Since trading Shaq, Phoenix has gone back to the run-and-gun style of play, and thus are at the top of the list along with the GSW for most possessions per game and most points per game.

shit son, what effort in your response.....let's continue our debate lol
I'm not going to go to lengths with Bosh, because between Bosh and Dwight, I mean 99/100 scouts/GMs/NBA people would pick Dwight, besides Bron and KD, hes the third guy you would draft to start a franchise. Not exactly his fault that he gets 4 shots a game sometimes, SVG continues to stress inside out rather than outside in, yet none of their perimeter guys follow that philosophy enough, granted he should be working on his game rather than his dance moves (in the offseason), he shouldn't get all the crap for being what he is right now.
Dirk - 2007 Playoffs, that is all
Amare, lol I don't know why I am so adamant about backing him, since he still drives me crazy sometimes on D. However, since Shaq's departure they have NOT gone back to the identical run and gun style, Gentry reeled them in and developed more of a half court offense. D'antoni would go back to what worked in PHX with Amare, although he will sorely miss Nash, he'll still get his.
Gasol is the best big man in the game.........offensively (but he still gets overlooked)
but dude seriously Bosh is.......we're brainwashed by Raptors TV as to how good he actually is.....he aint great.
