And you have to be crazy to take either of them over the young Howard and Bosh who are both playing amazingly. Duncan himself admitted he was getting slower and wasn't as good as he used to be. And Nash over Paul is just crazy. |
Yes, I read the question correctly. One can still make arguments for Garnett and Duncan now. Duncan might have admitted he is slower, but he is still damn good. Both Duncan and Howard are good defenders/rebounders. However, Duncan is markedly better on offense than Dwight. Duncan has an array of post moves and is also an adept passer out of the post. Howard is severely limited offensively.
PF is the hardest position for me to decide. They all excel in certain areas. Personally, I give Garnett the nod because of his defense. Bosh can defend the pick and roll and is a decent help defender, but he is a poor post defender. Nevertheless, Bosh is having an excellent year and deserves to be in the discussion. Honestly, PF is too close for me to argue for any of them.
