1 - duncan and gasol are PFs. you could say the same thing about bargnani.
2 - horford is only center because he's on a team that plays midget-ball. he's about the size of boozer, but he can get away with playing C because he's more athletic and has better lenght.
3 - haywood, really?
4 - nobody's going to argue with you on some of those names (howard, bynum) but there's not a single player on that list who doesn't leave something off the table the memo brings. of course, the same could be said the other way around... i'm just saying, "best" is a little broad and a lot of the time that comes down to what's best for a given team or situation... unless you're talking about superstars. for instance, nobody's going to say, "nah, we don't want dwight howard because he doesn't fit our team." they'd take him and MAKE the team fit. but marc gasol is neither better nor worse than memo except to the degree that they help their teams win games. on a team with so few shooting threats to space the floor, marc gasol would be a little redundant and losing memo would cost everybody else some open looks. same with noah. same with bogut.
5 - haywood, really??!!
at the end of the day, memo should be considered a top 8-10 center, but that says more about the extinction of true centers than it does about memo. and let's also not forget that we have no idea what memo is going to look like this fall.
