Asik/Davis/Anderson deserves to be mentioned correct? Or am I just being a homer?

Horford/Millsap/Antic/Payne

Is better than some of those you listed. Not great depth, but All-Stars at the 4 and 5.

I'm a homer, but Bulls are stacked up front now.

Noah - DPOY, 1st team All-NBA. All-Star last 2 seasons
Pau - Skilled 7 footer. He's what a 4x All-Star?
Taj - One of the better defensive bigs. 6th man runner up last season
Mirotic - Bulls turned down a top 10 pick for him
Bairstow - Physical bruiser

god tier:
Bulls - Noah, Pau, Taj, Mirotic
Wiz - Gortat, Nene, Blair, Gooden, Humphries

top tier:
Hawks - Horford, Antic, Payne, Millsap, Muscala, Mike Scott
Blazers - Aldridge, Kaman, RLopez, Freeland, TRob, Meyers
Clippers - DeAndre, Blake, Hawes, Big Baby
Grizzlies - Marc Gasol, ZBo, Koufos
Pelicans - ADavis, Asik, RAnderson, Withey

next tier:
Spurs - Duncan, Splitter, Diaw
Hornets - AJefferson, CZeller, Vonleh, Biyombo
Warriors - Bogut, Lee, Ezeli, Green, Speights
Nuggets - McGee, Mozgov, Hickson, Faried

Bulls frontline is sick. Healthy D Rose (LOL I KNOW) but if he's healthy then watch out. They could use another shooter though

Frontcourt includes SFs.

Anyway, just the post... No love for the Wolves right now? Yes, I see "no love". Still have him, tho. Love, Pek, Mbah a Moute, and Dieng.

meh, I'll take your word and add him to my list! I know he's got potential, but he barely played last season, no?

Toronto has a pretty good one

Valanciunas/Hayes
Amir Johnson/Patterson/Hansbrough
Ross/James Johnson

Add in the possibility of getting Andray Blatche (it's been rumored for a while) and 3 rookies who you never know could change the outcome next season and most certainly for the future.

Since when was Bron front court? He occassionally plays PF in small lineups. He can defend players at that position. But he's pretty clearly a perimeter player. SF's aren't considered front court. On offense, he's more like a PG than anything.

pretty bad frontcourts overall.

just one good player and a couple of squad guys that can have great seasons.

Pau-Bynum was probably better than all those and it's still not on the level of twin tower ones of old.

Diaw and splitter are average to below average. Take away pops system and Duncan and they have nothing. Noah is an all NBA 1st team player, that means the best C in the NBA, and the Defensive Player of the Year.

Noah in his prime right now >>>>>> broke down watching minutes Duncan

Gasol>>>>>>> than anything else the spurs have and so is Taj Gibson, then you add in the European MVP..forget about it ! :roll:

Diaw when motivated can play in any system, he raped in both the Spurs and Suns system and is easily one of the most skilled big men in the NBA.

Don't see anyone mentioning one of the for sure best.

Parsons/Dirk/Chandler

With Wright/Smith/Lewis off the bench?

LOL...give me that over Nene/Gortat easily.

Not sure if Chandler counts as front court.

If so then Durant and Lebron should be included.

Ibaka/Durant/Perkins

Lebron/Varejao/Bennett

He's played more at PF recently though, he started doing it a lot more in 2013 and went to the post, had Chalmers/Wade bring up the ball while he got in position. I wouldn't be surprised if he did the same in Cleveland with Irving handling the ball.

People have been listing small forwards, but even without him.

Dirk, Tyson, and Wright...with Lewis and Smith healthy is definitely one of the best.

Clippers are getting totally disrespected. Blake Griffin is literally the best player in any front court listed yet... though maybe someone listed Houston?

Anyway...

Clippers
Pistons
Pels
Bulls
Grizz

Are the top 5, in order.

Edited to replace Indiana with Memphis, solely on the strength of their starters.
