That depends on what type of offense you are running. Should you run a fast pace offense with a point guard who loves to lob, go for Dwight Howard or Amare Stoudemire. They are two explosive players that can dunk on just about anyone at anytime. However, out of those two, Dwight Howard is better. Even though Amare Stoudemire can hit jump shots well (even an occasional three pointer) Dwight Howard is a defensive stopper, getting 4 blocks and 10+ rebounds a game during the 2008-2009 season where he was named defensive MVP. Should you run a slower, defensive styled game, go for Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett. Both are very good defensive players who have established their low post skills. Although Garnett is the only one of the two that has won the defensive MVP award, Tim Duncan has been named to the all-defensive team numerous times and is widely considered a very good defender. Out of the two, I would go for Tim Duncan. He has won 4 championships, and that is not a fluke. He is one of the smartest basketball players to every play the game and he gives his all every night. He is very good in the low post and understands the game very well, rebounding and passing accordingly. Now, out of Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan, this is a tough one. Assuming we are taking them in their prime (which Dwight Howard hasn't even reached yet) the best choice would be Dwight Howard. As good as Tim Duncan is, Dwight Howard is and will be one of the most dominant players to every play the game. He is just too athletic to guard, and his leaping, rebounding, and blocking abilities are just too much to ignore. personally i like amare but they all have done so great this year its hard to choose i mean Dwight howard attacks the paint so does kg Tim and amare but Dwight cant shoot a jumper to save hi team amare kg and some times Tim can. plus kg and Dwight have one defensive player of the year but i remember a game when amare blocked howard and he blocked kg in another game so i am going with amare
