Hmmm. Amare was a 20/10 player consistently until his microsurgery. Your comparison only confirms a #1 or #2 pick. You keep picking the wrong guys for comparison purposes.
And he played 0 defense and his teams never won anything despite having a top 10 all time PG. I don't particularly rate Amare that high, he put up a bunch of 0 calorie stats in the highest paced system of his time with a top 10 all time PG making his life easy. And then he got annihilated every post season by actual bigs who could defend.
I really, really, really dislike bigs who cannot defend. That has been my stance for years (go see my take on Okafor when he came out and guys like 2&2 were going crazy about him for his offensive polish). Bigs who do not defend have an absolutely awful track record of winning in the NBA.
