You must be forgetting about Big Roy in the middle in Indiana. He the second best center period. Bynums attitude and work ethic isn't good.
Along with having good skills you have to have the right head on you're shoulders, and Bynum doesn't have that.
Huge Pacer fan right here. I also crapped on Bynum for years as my best buddy is a Lakers fan. We always said if he ever got healthy and applied himself he'd be a beast. Turns out we were right, not that our observations were anything less than blatantly obvious.
Bynum is a better 5 than Roy. He just has a good skill set for being a prototypical 5.

I don't care if Bynum sold crack in the streets of Philly, he is the best offensive center in the league, 2nd best overall.
Nothing out there supports that Bynum is a better offensive player than Dwight Howard. Is he more polished in the post? Yes, but so is Al Jefferson. Doesnt make him better.
So? he is still not a better player he sucks at defense and rim protecting.
Oh I know I wasn't trying to say he was a better player.. But everybody kept arguing about who could do this and that offensively.. So I was just throwing that in lol
I don't see where guys like Rose, CP3, Rondo, Westbrook should be rated higher overalls than Deron Williams. The only way I see that being possible at all is if the athletic attributes play a HUGE role in overalls.. As far as being an all around PG he's better than all of them..

Bynum played 66 games, was the 2nd option on team
MPG FG% 3p% FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG
35.2 0.558 0.200 0.692 3.2 8.6 11.8 1.4 0.4 1.9 2.5 1.7 18.7
Dwight played 54 games, was the 1st option on team

Jefferson played 61 games. Was the 1st option on team.

34.0 0.492 0.250 0.774 2.2 7.4 9.6 2.2 0.8 1.7 1.0 2.5 19.2
Notice how even with Kobe and Gasol on his team, he managed to put up similar PPG, rebound better than Jefferson with another 7 footer on his team and shoot a better percentage from the floor than Al jefferson and slightly less than Dwight. Let us not forget that Dwight scores most of his points under basket or from oops because he has a weak post game.
Bynum played behind a future hall of famer and a great big and yet he still puts up similar numbers to Dwight.
Listen, I am by NOOOOO means a Laker fan or Philly fan, but that kid Bynum is really under rated when compared to Dwight.
Watch this video, they brought up good points about both. I honestly prefer Bynum.
