Let's rank the current NBA centers, people!

Let's rank the current NBA centers, people!

Let's be realistic people! There are no true big men playing today. Even Dwight Howard would be just a power forward had the greats been playing these days. "Centers" today are strictly nominal. :facepalm:

Brook Lopez
Andrew Bogut
Marc Gasol

I could change it, but I'm too lazy right now. I spent about 20 seconds on this list, and last year (when he played for the Wolves) I probably would've put him top 3, but I didn't see him play much at all last season.

I think he averaged 19 and 9 or something with the Jazz. He's severely underrated on ISH for some reason.

I don't know how he is playing in Utah, but from what I saw of him in Minnesota, I believe that he has the best post moves in the game today (or had them a couple years ago).

Ratings dont work this way

[insidehoops]

Reminder: Defense matters! Not just blocks and steals, but both on-ball defense and help defense

[Toizumi]

Dwight Howard - 92
Andrew Bogut - 82
Tim Duncan (if they finally have him at C) - 82
Al Horford - 82
Andrew Bynum - 81
Emeka Okafor - 80
Marcin Gortat - 80
Tyson Chandler - 79
Nene - 79
Marc Gasol - 79

Andrew Bynum?

[insidehoops]

Bump!

[Borat]

Al Jefferson gets no respect.. Smh
He is a mechanical post player that will average 18/10 for a few more years then die off. he has little to no athleticism, but he is skilled and strong. Doesn't like to play defence either.

[Borat]

Bogut got 78 and it astounds me.
Should be 85+.

He is skilled at every part of basketball except foul shooting.

He should be the best defender on the game, he is probably the best defender in the NBA if people watched him.

Howard is probably the only big man in the NBA that is regarded as a better defender, and in reality he isnt as Bogut blocks more shots, gets more charges, plays better man on man D, but perhaps isnt quite as quick on the help blocks as Howard that look spectacular.

He controls the interior better than Howard.

Dont comment unless you watched at least 20 Bucks games, I watched about 50.

[chazzy]

Bogut got 78 and it astounds me.
Should be 85+.

His offensive game took a step back this year after his injuries though

[JaskoX1]

No mention of Anderson Varejao frightened me. His defense is outstanding.

9.1 ppg 9.7 rpg and 1.2 bpg

This is very impressive considering he is playing outside his natural position of power forward.

Last year starting centers averaged 10.1 ppg 7.3 rpg and 1.3 bpg.

Not to mention how Varejao gets "underneath the skin" of most players.
