Which PF would you take over Ibaka?

[MichaelCorleone]

Right now I rank Serge Ibaka as one of the top 5 PF in the league.

I'll only take these players over him:

1. Anthony Davis
2. LaMarcus Aldridge
3. Kevin Love

Yes Ibaka is better than Blake and Bosh.

would take Blake too but none else

[Black and White]

I would take Blake over him

[BlazerRed]

Obvious agenda is obvious.

[Droid101]

In no particular order:

Love, Dirk, Davis, Griffin, Aldridge, Millsap, and depending on the team, David Lee.

Edit: Forgot about Horford since he's injured and usually forced to play Center.

Aging Dirk?

Millsap?

[K Xerxes]

Griffin, Dirk and possibly Millsap with the way he's been playing.

Bosh is a center now, though I'd take him over Ibaka if he was playing in the natural PF role.

[Trollsmasher]

Factoring in defense, I would not even take K-Love over him

[Crafty]

5 or 6

[BigMacAttack]

LMA
Love
The Brow
Blake
Bosh
Millsap
Horford


Everyone sees through these agenda driven threads.

Now that I think about it, yeah you just made a VERY good point, taking into account defensive contributions and blocks.

Ibaka may be a top 2 defensive PF.

[Black and White]

So if Love was on the Thunder they would be worse?

This. Ibaka fits in perfectly into the OKC "scheme" (if you can call it that), but put him as the first option and he'd be terrible. All those players mentioned are better players and do so while facing far more defensive pressure.

[MichaelCorleone]

So if Love was on the Thunder they would be worse?

Yes they will be. Kevin Durant will negate whatever effort Love gives at the offensive end. KD and Westbrook are the entire Thunder's offense. Love would NOT contribute as much on the defensive end as Ibaka.

Brooks would rather take Ibaka over Love trust me.
