Kemp's stats are virtually identical to Amar'e's if you look at FG%, FT%, Assists and Steals, and Kemp normally averaged a board or two better than Amare'. Stoudemire averaged more points than Kemp, but you could argue that he was more the focal point of the Suns' offense and the Suns played at a fast pace. I really went back and forth on Stoudemire vs. Kemp, but ultimately found that Stoudemire was half a step quicker and a bit more polished offensively, especially in the pick and role. But otherwise, Kemp and Amare are very similar players.

My only issue with Blake Griffin is that he needs 3 seconds to get his feet set and think about it before he shoots a jump shot, like he's still learning to shoot.

the Griffin selection might be the greatest reach of this whole charade. No offense to whomever selected him.

Kemp was also a much better defender than Stoudemire or Griffin. And Griffin has waaay more problems than his jumper--he can't make a FT to save his life, very raw with post moves, and is a pretty bad defender.

Griffin has only been around for two seasons. I'm sure he'll grow into an elite power forward, but he's not there yet. I don't see the point of picking him. I don't know about Amare vs Kemp. I'd rather have Stoudemire, but he's taken. Kemp was only great for 3-4 seasons.

Amare was only "great" with one of the best PGs in history (a much better distributor/playmaker than Payton).
 
Here is a little bit about my newest selection Glen Rice (I'm sorry that it is so late. I haven't been by a computer for hours)

NBA champion (2000)
3× NBA All-Star (1996–1998)
NBA All-Star Game MVP (1997)
Three-Point Shootout Champion (1995)
All-NBA Second Team (1997)
All-NBA Third Team (1998)
All-Rookie Second Team (1990)
NCAA Champion (1989)
NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player (1989)
Big Ten Conference Player of the Year (1989)
Big Ten Conference Athlete of the Year (1989)
Consensus NCAA All-American Second Team (1989)

Notice who he is "friends" with in this video. Perfect fit for my team.

I'm going to be out a lot tonight, there's some parties that need happening. But I should be back to update things and make a pick, if my turn comes again.

It takes two players to pick-and-roll. No one could stop Amare once he received the ball. It got to the point where Duncan wouldn't try to guard him so he wouldn't pick up fouls. It was Greg Popovich who said Nash and Amare made Stockon-to-Malone look like Laurel and Hardy. He was exaggerating, of course, but still...

I like this post. I remember that year Amare went off. He was a man on a mission. It was pretty spectacular.
