All-Star center Andrew Bynum, now with the Philadelphia 76ers, is arguably the second-best center behind new Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard. However, teammate Dorell Wright doesn't necessarily agree.
Wright, who spent his last two seasons with the Golden State Warriors, faced Bynum multiple times in the Pacific Division, and stated unequivocally that Bynum is the league's best big man.
"He's going to need two defenders to stop him; I would say he's the best big man in the NBA right now, hands down," Wright, speaking at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, said. "He's a guy that can give you baskets with his back to the basket; a guy who makes free throws at 7-feet. You've just got to respect him."
Wright further went on to insist that he is decision is not based on the two being teammates or neither the fact that Howard is coming off of back surgery. Wright was adamant with his statement and stood by it.
"No way, I'd say it any day. It's because I know he can put his back to the basket and give us a basket and request a double team and make free throws," Wright continued. "It's his all-around game. Hopefully he can stay healthy and we can ride, he can put us on his back and he can take us as far as we can go."
