With Al Jefferson visiting Bobcats Arena tonight, here's a closer look at some of the standout young big men in the NBA this season:


 PLAYER TEAM SEASON KEY STATISTIC COMMENT
 Chris Bosh Toronto 5thLeads this group in scoring (22.4 ppg.) Matchup nightmare with his ability from beyond the lane.
 Andrew Bynum Lakers 3rd 10.2 rebounds per game Blossoming until injury, he should blend well with Pau Gasol.
 Al Horford Hawks 1st Leads all rookies at 9.7 rebounds per game Wide body and skill spectrum suggest he has huge potential.
 Dwight Howard Magic 4thLeads the NBA with 66 double- doubles this season Physically overwhelming, but still needs work on his post moves.
 Al JeffersonTimberwolves 4th One of five averaging at least 20 points and 10 rebounds Needs to focus more on defense to be a complete player.
 Chris Kaman Clippers 5th Third in NBA at 12.7 rebounds per game A fine complement to teammate Elton Brand in the post.
 Emeka Okafor Bobcats 4th 38 double-doubles, tied for 10th in the NBA this season Seems to have reached a ceiling in his development as a pro.
