Do you have Yao Ming on your Top 10 ATG center list?

Out of Howard/Parish/Yao, who would you most wish to have on your team?

Depends on what I'm looking for out of my center.

If I'm making my center the centerpiece of my offense....I'm probably taking Yao.

If I'm going to focus my scoring on the wings and the perimeter....I'm taking prime Dwight Howard by a country mile.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

I guess it depends on era too. I like Parish at that anchor spot in his era, and I don't think either Yao or Howard could have been as effective. In today's game, I'd package all three of them in trade for a 6'10" guy who can shoot 3s.
