How will Andrew Bynum  do as center for the Lakers?

He is doing good so far. The problem is he won't be doing as well when that ballhog named Kobe returns cuz he won't be getting enough passes cuz Kobe's gonna take at least 50 shots per game...

I'm not a Laker fan, but it's not the time to put too much pressure on him. He's an incredible talent whose ceiling is through the roof!  Still, he's done what he's done against teams that don't have much in the way of centers (Seattle twice...Johan Petro; Minnesota...Mark Blount; and Golden State...Troy Murphy).  And, he only played 10 minutes against GS. \n\nSo, I'm not trying to kill a buzz here, because I really like the kid's game and the Lakers have a lot to be excited about, but let's see what he does over a longer stretch and against better centers. The good news is that there aren't many better centers in the league. \n\nThe kid has a bright future.

I believe they both have....but I did see Andrew Bynum dunk on him the other night.  So is that really all that of an accomplishment?

No, Kobe won't want to share the spotlight.  Garnet will end up in the east somewhere.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Orlando actually.  They did clear out some salary before the trade deadline in the trade with the Knicks.  I think, with a couple other moves, that it could work.

Yes... he is a versitale center that NBA teams value highly with a lack of quality big men in the league.

I believe he will.  He might not be available until somewhere in the middle of the regular season though.  And when he comes back, he'll be a backup to Larry Johnson without question.

Yes I think he is. There is no doubt that the Big Diesel is deteriorating with injuries and age, and Yao has been putting up monstrous numbers lately and I dont think anyone can guard him in the paint. \n\nAnd for Jeff S' answer, Duncan is a forward-center. He rarely plays the 5 spot, but he could be monstrous in terms of defensive intensity, on rare occasions that is. Anyway, Spurs-Rockets matchup is on Wednesday and this should be exciting.

No, last season he was kind of over shadowed by JJ and Sheldon so he's going to stay put for now. Look for him to be a high draft pick in the future though, because he will be the leading scorer on the team next year.

No.  Kwame is bad.  REALLY bad.  I've watched him play every game as a Laker fan, and trust me when I say he sucks.  \n\nHe is not going to start this year with Bynum's improved play.  See if you can grab Perkins or Biedrins instead.

I think that the Lakers- after the Pistons and the Hornets and the Spurs- are finally playing like a team. Sure- they are getting 40 from Kobe every once in a while, but he is their superstar. Odom has been red-hot, and Smush along with a few other bench players have been doing great to give them the win. They finally realize team ball is the key. And they have taken 7th seed, 1.5 behind Memphis for 6th. The #1 thing best to do in the second half of the NBA season is heat up and go hard down the stretch of the last 30 games to make a playoff spot. You'll see- the Lakers are for real now. They've always been on and off- but I think that they all have finally realized that it's not giving it to Kobe. Kwame helps in the post, defense and offense both. Smush is a scorer, Lamar is an all-around and Kobe is the super-star. I think that the Lakers can go all the way- no joke. They've beat the Mavs, Spurs, Pistons, Heat, Clippers, but we still have the Suns. Let's go Lakers.

Shelden Williams, great inside force that can shoot with both hands, while also rebounding and can run. Just needs to work on staying out of foul trouble.  You are right in that the Celtics need a center, especially when they were desperate enough to give Mark Blount $40 million.

It's too early to tell!!!   We'll have to see when Kobe gets back if Odom can continue producing like he has in these past 2 games. The Lakers will reach the playoffs though, i'll guarantee that much!!!!

He is the best center in the nba. He''s not a center so you can't compare him to power forwards. The best center used to be Shaq but he is too old already and the torch is now passed to Yao. He still has a ways to go but he is improving every year and is definitely the best center right now.

Gaters, Noah is the best center remaing and he will have a big game. The gators will fianlly break the 60 mark on UCLA, where the last team to do it was Gonzaga.

I think he'll score about 34 points against the Detroit Pistons.  I think he needs to work on his free throws, because if he go them in he would almost always be +10 in points.

Probably with the LA Lakers.

It is a good chance if they can make a trade for a big man. Kobe is frustrated and it shows. The way to the playoffs is with the kid handlin' the biz. Next year is definitely a possibility with so many going free agent, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, some guy named Lebron and the wonder kid, Flash Dwayne Wade. We got money coming and we plan on spendin'
