The best at moving without the ball among bigmen?

[Reggie43]

Which PF's and Center's are the best at this alltime? Its an underrated skill but off the top of my head Shaq, Malone and Kemp were pretty good.

[Kblaze8855]

Karl, Kareem, and Shaq were pretty nice getting position and Dirk needs a mention considering he probably scored 10K on down screens.

[Im Still Ballin]

Shawn Marion could score 20 points a night and have no plays called for him. Cutting, running the fastbreak, offensive rebounding, spot-up shooting.

I guess he's not a "true" bigman, but he played a lot of minutes at power forward. Had a huge wingspan and high-set shoulders like McHale and Phil Jackson. Allowed him to play much larger than his 6-7 listed height.

[Full Court]

Jokic is up there with the best of them.

Shaq even without ball he was double teamed
What about Kirilenko and Diaw?

[PeroAntic]

Has to be Jokic. He has some superhuman understanding of the game. Its like he plays in bullet time.

thread said PF and C.
Only one person sticks in my mind " AKEEM"
* Cowens as an option to 1.

Barkley could move pretty good.
This is weird because he isn’t known for it but it isn’t the main idea here about cutters nor about fighting for position I.e. Shaq but
Maybe no big ever could get wider open than Horry could which after all that is moving without the ball

Larry Bird and James Worthy when they were playing PF if they count.

And Mchale was amazing at getting into position.

Of course Shaq, Malone, Kareem, Dirk were all amazing too.

Most big men have to be good off the ball, but I feel like there are few who are super good at getting in position and cutting.
