After ranking my top 10 Point Guards, Shooting Guards, Small Forwards and Power Forwards, we arrive finally at the Centers. The guys who can dominate on the glass, shot-block, fill the lane, finish on the offensive end with power or finesse. Just who are the best big men in the league? Here are my rankings of the top 10 centers in the NBA….

5 Thoughts on the NBA Draft
he NBA draft looked to be going the way everyone had predicted, with Kyrie Irving gong number one to the Cleveland Cavaliers, swiftly followed by Derrick Williams at number two to Minnesota and Enes Kanter at three to Utah. The David Stern walked out to announce the number four pick, Cleveland’s second, and the first shock occurred as Tristan Thompson’s name was called… and that was were the surprises started on a eventful NBA draft night…
Biyombo – NBA Draft boom or bust?
Bismack Biyombo is the unpredictable wildcard in this year’s draft. Some have him going as high as number five to Toronto, others have him going as low as number 15. We don’t know much about Biyombo, up until six months ago NBA GMs didn’t even have him on the radar, now he is the potentially biggest boom/bust pick in the draft. So should those GM’s be taking a ‘swing for the fences’ style risk on the 6’9” Congolese big man with a 7’7″ wingspan, or should they pass on potentially the biggest bust in the draft?
LA Clippers – relevant again?
The Los Angeles Clippers have not been relevant for a while. Not since the 2005-06 season has the team had a winning record, or even made a trip to the playoffs. Prior to that the team had endured eight straight losing years and hadn’t been relevant since the days of Danny Manning, Ron Harper and Mark “Mama there goes that man” Jackson was serving up assists, rather than creating clichés behind the microphone.
This season has begun to change all that. Blake Griffin has burst on to the scene and has been a phenomenon in his first year. Griffin’s high flying, dunk over, around, or on top of would be defenders act, has seen him throw down the second most slams this season. His 214 rim rattlers saw him sit just behind Dwight Howard’s 227. Eric Gordon is also catching the eye and has improved each season in his young three year career, culminating in this season’s solid 22.3 points per game and 4.4 assists. Throw in to the mix DeAndre Jordan, who has been a great accompaniment to Griffin’s high-wire act…
Why the Orlando Magic should trade Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard is one of my favourite NBA players; a monster on the defensive end, he’s developing more of an offensive game than just being a dunker, he carries that Orlando team on his back every single night and he has an infectious personality, which reminds me of another Orlando big man, Shaq. However, as much personality as Dwight has, sometimes I wish he would either put up or shut up and stop dragging us towards a LeBron James-esque ‘decision.’ We’ve been hearing for months now how Dwight wants to stay in Orlando with the Magic, but his latest comments reported on nba.com, have Howard as saying he’d like to stay with the Magic (what’s new), but he would test free agency in 2012, unless – big caveat – Orlando wins the title next season…
