NBA Free Agency 2017: Centers

POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS

1. Rudy Gobert Restricted / Center / 7-1 / Last team: Utah One of the best rim protectors in the NBA these days. Utah doesn’t come across players this gifted very often, so the Jazz could sign him to an extension before the Frenchman hits free agency.

Agent: Bouna Ndiaye

2015/16 Earnings: $1,175,880

Career Earnings: $5,503,368

2. Steven Adams Restricted / Center / 7-0 / Last team: Oklahoma City His growth made Serge Ibaka expendable for Oklahoma City. A super high quality role player or something else?

Career Earnings: $9,695,397

3. Nerlens Noel Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Last team: Philadelphia We have only seen glimpses of the player he can become. Potentially one of the best defensive players in the league down the road.
