When it comes down to the best center in the NBA, there's no question that Dwight Howard is #1, with Yao Ming finishing second. Howard's averaging a 22 PPG and 18.2 RPG and 3.8 BPG in the playoffs, numbers that haven't been seen since Wilt Chamberlain. The other 4 positions will be posted over the   more...

If they do, the Heat will trade Mark Blount and slide to #4 in the draft and the Sonics will send Chris Wilcox to the Heat and move up to the #2 slot, which leaves Udonis   more...
