Who are the best centers in the NBA now?

[insidehoops]

Who do you say are the 5-7 best centers in the NBA now?

Make the list as long as you want.

[Nike D'Antoni]

I like the European centers. High IQ and literally have point guard level passing.

Jokic
Gasol
Vucevic


They contribute to winning a lot.

[r0drig0lac]

Jokic/Embiid
Sabonis
Bam/Vucevic
Gobert
Nurkic

[highwhey]

these two are atop of the list fur sure

Jokic/Embiid
Sabonis
Bam/Vucevic
Gobert
Nurkic


5/7 european
one African from cameroon
only Adbayo from US.

I think post-game is not being thought in Colleges. Or passing as big.

probably a reaction to the type of game the NBA has forced teams to play

[RRR3]

KAT getting disrespected.

Starts with AAU

[Xiao Yao You]

carry your team to the playoffs

[BigKAT]

Jokic #1
Embiid #1A

And then in no particular order...

Sabonis
Bam
KAT
Gobert

But the truth is that the best Center in the league is Anthony Davis. Even if he only plays that position in the Playoffs. A bit like how Draymond Green was the best center for a couple of years in a weird way.

But that's gobert... hes one of the worst starters in the league


Who'd you think it was?

[RRR3]

Sabonis isn’t playing center unless you guys think Myles Turner is a PF

[Manny98]

1. Jokic
2. Embiid
3. Allen
4. Adebayo
5. Rudy

[Xiao Yao You]

Jokic, Embiid, Gobert, Bam

[LukeWalton]

Shaq has logged in and is taking a list of names presented here

[Axe]

Jokic
Gasol
Vucevic

Gasol is pretty washed up now

[Nike D'Antoni]

Gasol is pretty washed up now

Which one? Pau or Marc? Both can still play, not sure why any team didn't sign Pau yet. The guy wants to be back

Marc. I don't think he's one of the best today.

Pau is over 40 and washed.

[tanibanana]

Best: Jokic, Embiid
Better: Adebayo, Vucevic
Good: Gobert, Ayton

I agree. Neither of them are centers.

But the team lists Sabonis as a Forward-Center and Turner as a Center-Forward.


.

[jayfan]

I'm not sure who the best is, but Vucevic is definitely the most underrated. Has been for years.

Probably means there is no difference between the two positions in their system like many systems or it's dependent on who they're guarding

[HBK_Kliq_2]

There's Nikola Jokic and then there's everybody else.

Jokic leads the NBA in PER, BPM, VORP, win share per 48, offensive win shares, defensive win shares. All while anchoring nuggets 2nd ranked offense at 116.6. This is despite Jamal Murray having an off year and getting no help from his team.

[Manny98]

Jokic, Embiid, Gobert, Bam
Allen has destroyed 2/4 this season

Jokic is next tonight

[Sakkreth]

Yeah this... they are interchangeable according to the situation. New coach got it working.

[InnerZen]

Man the 90s-00s centers would wipe their ass with the centers of today :oldlol:

[fourkicks44]

Man the 90s-00s centers would wipe their ass with the centers of today :oldlol:

Yeah Chris Dudley would be an All-Star

[Uncle Drew]

Jokic is first by a mile, I know that much. The only ones denying this are fans of the Sixers, go figure.

[Xiao Yao You]

Yeah Chris Dudley would be an All-Star

Probably not. He'd have trouble guarding in space

[fourkicks44]

Probably not. He'd have trouble guarding in space

I was joking, Mr serious :lol


Man the 90s-00s centers would wipe their ass with the centers of today :oldlol:

An we all know Eddy Curry would try and wipe his ass with any of the centers of today :oldlol:
