In my opinion, yes. Where does he stand right now among the centers in the game? Top ten? Top five? You've got Yao Ming and Dwight Howard above him, IMO. After that, he's right there with Chris Kaman. I don't consider Amare Stoudamire to be a center and neither is Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett. The guy has 18 double-doubles (Ming has 21) and he's the only player in the league averaging 10 boards and playing under 30 minutes per game. He's at 10.2 in 29 minutes a night and Ming is at 10.4 in 37 a night. Ming is at 2.3 blocks and Bynum is at 2.1. If I had a choice of which one I would take, I'd take Bynum right now over Ming and Kaman. And he's only 20. People forget that he's only 20 and had limited experience in high school games. The sky is the limit for him.
Kaman is a headcase, my highschool always played his in basketball, and he was good but not someone I would say would make it to the NBA. Not only has he made it to the NBA, but he is doing damn good. The big matchup of the game was Kaman (Tri-Unity Christian) against Ruvell Martin (Muskegon Catholic Central) who is now #82 and a good reciever for the Packers.
