Post offense is boring and increasingly outdated.  I wouldn't mind having a loiw-post scoring big man, but it should be someone who can come off the bench and will accept a DNP against a team where the matchup is unfavorable.

why put rebounder with defender?  can't a low post scorer also be a rebounder?

Sounds like Greg Monroe vs Amir Johnson from last summer.

Between those two, I would've chosen Monroe.

In a vacuum, though, and all things (cost, contract length, age, injury history) being equal, I'd also choose the interior D and rebounder guy.
sounds more like the OP is asking which Philly asset to pursue -- Noel or Okafor
This. And of the two, I'll take Noel.

Even though this Celtic team's biggest deficiency is scoring, it just seems like a rim protecting big is more important than ever. Especially if he's a versatile defender like Noel.
