Is the center resurgence being realized this year?

[intruder]

I know we've been talking about this for a few years running now, but it feels like it's really happening.

Cousins is top-5 in the NBA in scoring and is getting a ton of attention

Towns is an offensive force

Embiid looks as good as advertized

Gobert is a defensive monster

Jokic and Nurkic both rising up into versatile stars

Marc Gasol is still kicking along as a great player on both ends

Vucevic is on the verge of being a 20 and 10 guy

The Lopez brothers are both averaging 15+ ppg

And I just named 10 centers without getting to Drummond, Adams, Horford, Capela, Gortat, Kanter, Sabonis, Dwight, DeAndre, or Pau.

Of those, Embiid, Towns, Gobert, Jokic, Nurkic, Drummond, Adams, Sabonis, and Capela are all 25 or younger.


Might be the end of those dry years where guys like Brad Miller, Jamaal Magloire, Tyson Chandler, etc. were being named to the All-Star game because there weren't enough real stars at center to fill out the roster.

No love for GawdSide?

Towns and Embid will be the only ones in top 10 MVP voting though, I expect Towns to be top 3 for sure if MIN has a top 3 record this season. Embid restrictions will limit his chances though, even if his on/off numbers are still as crazy as they are now.

Embid player them lil minutes ain't gonna be top 10. And towns defense is pure trash so I doubt me makes it either. I know ad will make it

just look at the Pelicans.

No ones convincing me that if Ewing and Malone were on the same team they wouldn’t be contenders

AD and Boogie looking funny

they have a winning record. fukk is u talking bout like they trash lol. Cousins would destroy Ewing also and ad and Malone is both sore on each other consistently. But who knows, Malone might not have been shyt without Stockton away

We talking titles.

Not no damn winning record through the 1st ten games of the regular season, breh.

Well with a lot of teams playing smallball skilled Centers are getting point in the paint with less effort and if you have a midrange game on top of that forget about it.

Them 2 chocking ass nikkaz would never beat Jordan man stop it. So if we take all the players off the jazz and add journey men with Malone and Ewing. That team would be trash with trash spacing

Lol at needing a next generational talent to be a dynasty. The Warriors & Heat went back to back this decade without one superstar C. All these bigs of this generation have yet to do anything in the finals do probaly won’t for a while.

I BEEN saying this

One day everyone will realize the Center position is the most important position in the NBA

Which is why my all time Top 5 is mostly Centers

The closer you are to the basket the easier the game is
