POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Golden State Warriors
14.5 ppg, 7.1 rpg
|
|
Upon returning from a torn Achilles, he has been better than many expected right away. Now healthy, his next free agency should be very interesting, as he’ll likely have a bevy of interested suitors. |
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Orlando Magic
20.6 ppg, 11.9 rpg
|
|
His numbers this year, across the board, have been monstrous. Deservedly made his first All-Star Team this season, which will only make him a hotter commodity come free agency. |
3. Marc Gasol
Player Option / Center / 7-1 / Team: Toronto Raptors
15.7 ppg, 8.6 rpg
|
|
His skill as an outside shooter and passer should help his game age nicely. Does a bit of everything from the center position. |
4. Al Horford
Player Option / Center / 6-10 / Team: Boston Celtics
12.6 ppg, 6.6 rpg
|
|
He doesn’t score a bunch of points, but his all-around game is excellent. Few big men have his blend of playmaking and defense. |
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: New York Knicks
11.0 ppg, 13.6 rpg
|
|
Even in his 30s, still one of the best rebounders the NBA has to offer. Elite screen-setter. Will his trade to the Knicks help convince Durant to join him in New York? |
6. Brook Lopez
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Milwaukee Bucks
12.2 ppg, 4.2 rpg
|
|
One of the few big men in the league who can shoot threes and protect the paint at above-average rates. He’s already in his 30’s, but his game has aged nicely thanks to his high skill level. |
Restricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Sacramento Kings
12.9 ppg, 8.6 rpg
|
|
Bouncy big man who can switch defensively and throw down with the best of them. Putting up career marks in just about every stat. |
Player Option / Center / 6-11 / Team: Memphis Grizzlies
12.8 ppg, 7.2 rpg
|
|
Putting up crazy numbers per-36 minutes. Great rebounder and post scorer with a decent jumper. |
9. Enes Kanter
Unrestricted / Center / 6-11 / Team: Free Agent
14.0 ppg, 10.5 rpg
|
|
Great scorer down low, ferocious rebounder and a fantastic finisher out of the pick-and-roll, his problems are a lack of a three-point shot and subpar defensive contributions. |
10. Hassan Whiteside
Player Option / Center / 7-0 / Team: Miami Heat
13.0 ppg, 12.4 rpg
|
|
Bounced back nicely thus far after an up-and-down 2017-18. Second in the league in blocks per game. |
11. Dwight Howard
Player Option / Center / 6-11 / Team: Washington Wizards
12.8 ppg, 9.2 rpg
|
|
Has played decently when he’s been healthy. Problem is, he hasn’t been healthy that often this season. Might continue to be a problem going forward considering his age (33). |
12. JaVale McGee
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Los Angeles Lakers
10.9 ppg, 6.8 rpg
|
|
Having a career season as far as consistent nightly impact. Fantastic rim protector who is really good scoring out of the pick-and-roll. |
13. Thomas Bryant
Restricted / Center / 6-10 / Team: Washington Wizards
9.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg
|
|
Hyper efficient scorer, primarily around the basket. |
14. Ed Davis
Unrestricted / Center / 6-10 / Team: Brooklyn Nets
6.0 ppg, 8.7 rpg
|
|
Respected veteran who makes a huge nightly impact off the bench. |
15. Robin Lopez
Unrestricted / Center / 7-0 / Team: Chicago Bulls
6.2 ppg, 2.9 rpg
|
|
Numbers have taken a plummet as the Bulls have gone with a youth movement. Still a serviceable backup center. |
