What about Emeka Okafor? Would he be a center or power forward (his NBA profile says "Center-Forward"? He could definitely be a better center right now than Camby.

I guess that shows how pathetic NBA centers are these days. Give me the early 90s, when Shaq was just coming into the league, and Ewing, Hakeem, David Robinson were GODs and guys like Mutumbo, Alonzo Mourning and even Rick Smits and Vlade Divac, were very skilled at the center position.

That's a great point about center's of the 90's. It's really a lost position. Parish and Kareem ended their careers and then came all of the guys you mentioned.

Now... power forwards are where it is at. Greg Oden is the "great center hope," but the guy can't stay healthy.
