He's only 19 years old, and he's off to a great start this season.

Yeah, I think he's the next great center looking at him right now. I was just watching last nights game. Check it out, this kid just came out of high school a year ago, and he's actually dominating games. Right now he's doing damn good!!!
If u watched last night, he is really good defensively, got about 3 blocks. But what no one takes to notice is that he changes the shot of other opposing players. And he gives a great presence down low.
As an offensive player, he's really improving on his post moves and should get better since he's working with one of the greatest Centers, Kareem Abdul Jabar. He has some flaws in his offensive game, but Kareem can definitely help him there. His free throw percentage is great for a Center compared to last season. Last night he went somethin like 9/10 from the line.
All I have to say is watch out. The next greatest Center is coming out of L.A. Andrew Bynum!! Watch the **** out!!

I would not jump to conclusions just yet. He's still developing as a player but consistency maybe an issue in the next few months. Sure he is a strong player but so was all the great players until they get injured. If Bynum stays healthy and uninjured, he will be alright but still not up to the others in the league (Yao, Shaq, Ben, Dwight, etc...). Just my $.02

With the way he's playing now and guides from legendary center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar he has the potential to be the next great Center, but only time will tell

Hell yes he's younger than me (I was born 2/25/87) and hes already showing signs of dominance in the NBA. Still very flawed because his offense is limited (But so is Shaq's) but there's no way that in 4-5 years he won't know how to use his 7'2" size to score and defend better.
Shotblocking-wise, he's good already but needs better timing. Offensive-wise... he shoots hooks and makes em. He can shoot free throws very well for a center and power forward also.

did you see the game last night? of course...as long as he keeps his head on straight and stays with kareem's advice, he will be the most dominant center in the game. I hope him and shaq go at it again this year, i hope he dunks all over that over weight over the hump no good traitor.

He's looked great so far this season. If he keeps it up the Lakers will have a chance to do something in the playoffs.

he will definately get most improved player but only time will tell if hes another shaq. he is great right now but he isnt unstoppable. he needs to bulk up a little more and he will be close to unstopable.
