CBS Sportsline's Tony Mejia isn't as awed by Nenad Krstic as Bill Walton, who believes the Nets' 23-year-old was the NBA's second best center last year. Still, Mejia puts Krstic at No. 8, saying "he continued to improve last season to the point where you had to start considering the Nets' core as 'Big Four.'" Mejia lists the usual suspects above Krstic: Shaq, Yao, Amare, etc, but also believes the Clippers' Chris Kaman is better as well.
