While Dwight Howard gets little love, he remains an impact player when healthy. Along with Andre Drummond, he should be the most coveted guy of a very deep 2016 free agent center class.
POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
 |
Restricted / Center / 6-10 / Team: Detroit
16.7 ppg, 15.0 rpg
Always had the tools to become a dominant big man in the NBA. He's starting to live up to that potential. |
 |
Player Option / Center / 6-11 / Team: Houston
14.9 ppg, 12.0 rpg
He may no longer be the top center in the game, but teams will be lining up for his services if he opts out of his contract with the Rockets. |
 |
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Miami
13.0 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 3.9 bpg
Obviously, his 2014-15 performance was no fluke as he's averaging a double-double again. Will dunk and block anything around the basket. Some questions about his focus. |
 |
4. Al Jefferson
Unrestricted / Center / 6-10 / Team: Charlotte
12.1 ppg, 6.0 rpg
The low-post maestro has made eight figures for almost a decade. His suspension followed by an injury will hurt market value. |
 |
5. Joakim Noah
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Chicago
4.3 ppg, 8.8 rpg
Really rough year for the Bulls' big man. First he loses his starting job, then gets injured. |
 |
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Dallas
9.8 ppg, 10.5 rpg
Frustrates opponents with his physical play and does all those little things that help teams win. A fan favorite in every city he's played. |
 |
7. Festus Ezeli
Restricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Golden State Warriors
7.5 ppg, 5.9 rpg
Not much of a weapon offensively, but makes an impact on the defensive end with a big body and great athleticism. |
 |
8. Roy Hibbert
Unrestricted / Center / 7-2 / Team: LA Lakers
6.4 ppg, 5.0 rpg
At his best, a devastating defensive force with the ability to do some damage offensively. We have not seen his best version lately, though. Has had a rough time adjusting to small-ball era. |
 |
9. Ian Mahinmi
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Indiana
8.6 ppg, 7.1 rpg
Underrated big man that specializes in dirty work. Has yet to cash in big in the NBA and it could happen for him in 2016. |
 |
10. Timofey Mozgov
Unrestricted / Center / 7-1 / Team: Cleveland
6.4 ppg, 4.5 rpg
A space-eater that was a fantastic fit in Cleveland last season. Not so effective this year while dealing with physical problems. |
 |
Restricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Houston
5.5 ppg, 2.3 rpg
Big body, nice hook shot and capable three-point sniper. Not much of a rebounder. Back problems will scare some teams away. |
 |
12. Bismack Biyombo
Player Option / Center / 6-9 / Team: Toronto
5.4 ppg, 8.0 rpg
Shot blocking is his lone outstanding skill. At age 23, still some untapped potential there. |
 |
13. Nenê
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Washington
8.5 ppg, 4.6 rpg
Nice offensive player that takes high-percentage shots. Rebounding the ball is certainly not a strength. |
 |
Unrestricted / Center / 6-10 / Team: Golden State
6.6 ppg, 3.3 rpg
Was one of the best bench players in the NBA last season. Has regressed some this year. |
 |
15. Tyler Zeller
Restricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Boston Celtics
5.6 ppg, 2.9 rpg
Pretty efficient big man on both ends off the court. Could be a quality backup center for some teams. |
