Best Centers in the NBA - Where does Gobert Rank?

[addictionary]

I didn't get why this article was the way it was, until I realized that it was written by the Magic's version of David Locke. And Locke is really great, but I don't think I would ever refer a non-Jazz fan to Locke's analysis. So that's why, it was written by a homer. If Duncan is on the list, why isn't Anthony Davis? Or Omer Asik? Or Joakim Noah?

Kind of a garbage list. EXCEPT FOR GOBERT. He will dominate and eat dreams.

10. Okafor
9. Brook Lopez
8. Duncan
7. Dwight
6. Vucevic (homer alert!)
5. DeAndre Jordan
4. Marc Gasol
3. DMC
2. Drummond
1. Gobert

AD is not considered center position and Aşık had a terrible year compared to his Rockets years. Noah should be considered but if this guy took the last season, it's understandable. It would be easy to throw at least 3 names out of that list (maybe 5) and replace them with more legit centers though.

You realize that guy died that very moment do you?

Really? He looks like he is fainting.

Also want Gobert to not feel like he's arrived. Keep that hunger let that shoulder chip grow

I think Gobert will be like Malone or Jordan. Those guys always find some reason to fuel their fire.

As for the rankings, it's awfully hard NOT to project Gobert as #1. Simply wasn't a guy more dominating defensively over the last half of the season. Whiteside should be on the list instead of Okafor.

Why is Okafor even on that list? He hasn't played even one minute in the NBA.

Well, the thread title is a little misleading. It should be best "projected" centers in the NBA. The article is not about giving current ratings; it's projecting the 2015/16 season. There's always hype over the top picks in the draft. Sometimes it's justified, sometimes not.

I guess Enes Kanter is considered power forward now?

Why is not Andrew Bogut on list? He anchors second to best defense in NBA.

Here's another writer that get's it...

He gets it? He has a rookie who plays awful defense and doesn't rebound as the #10 center. That's flat out dumb as ****.

This topic is about the best centers in the NBA. I don't see what Enes Kanter has to do with anything.

There are many people who think Hassan Whiteside is better than Gobert. Just saying...
