Tim Duncan is extremely likely to be All-NBA 1st or 2nd team CENTER so the analysis becomes flawed right at that point. That leads to Blake Griffin making the 2nd team.
Al Horford has likewise played center all season and will get his All-NBA votes there. He isn’t part of the equation.
David Lee is more likely to make the cut over Zach Randolph, so you are right that the last spot is likely to come down to Randolph and George.
FWIW
Win Shares
19.3 LeBron James
18.9 Kevin Durant
10.8 Blake Griffin
9.5 Carmelo Anthony
9.4 Serge Ibaka (quietly had an incredible year and gets barely any credit)
9.1 Paul George
9.1 David West (I don’t believe he is any less worthy than George)
8.8 Lee
7.6 Randolph (shouldn’t really be in the discussion)
Thanks for your input. Duncan has started every game as a power forward this season so you’re off there, but you do have a case with Horford – he has played 58 games at center and just 16 games at PF. Also, good point about Serge Ibaka. He does deserve more recognition.
