Top Players in NBA- Centers

Centers 
1 Dwight Howard 
Orlando Magic
Rating: 98 
Scoring: A
Shooting: C+
Driving: A-
Passing: B
Rebounding: A+
Defense: A+
"IT" Factor: A
     Dwight Howard is becoming more and more dynamic. He is now not only a defensive presence and a rebounding machine, but he is also a legitimate scoring threat. He is developing more of an offensive game than he had in years past which is why he is continuing to rise as one of the games best players. 


2 Al Jefferson 
Utah Jazz  
Rating: 90 
Scoring: A-
Shooting: A-
Driving: A-
Passing: B+
Rebounding: A
Defense: A
"IT" Factor: A-
     Al Jefferson is very underrated and a very solid post player. Unfortunately, he has been on bad teams and now that Utah is rebuilding, Jefferson will probably be denied a chance at the playoffs for a year or two. However, Jefferson is still a 20-10 guy, one of the few in the league who can do that. 


3 Al Horford
Atlanta Hawks 
Rating: 88 
Scoring: B+
Shooting: B+
Driving: A-
Passing: B-
Rebounding: A-
Defense: A
"IT" Factor: B+
     Al Horford has quietly been one of the best centers in the game since his arrival in the league. He doesn't do anything that outstanding, but he is consistent and he gets it done, which is all you can ask for if you are the Atlanta Hawks. 


4 Marc Gasol
Memphis Grizzlies 
Rating: 86 
Scoring: A-
Shooting: A
Driving: B
Passing: A-
Rebounding: A-
Defense: B+
"IT" Factor: B+
     People are saying that Marc may be better than Pau now. Well, I wouldn't say that, but given Marc Gasol's postseason performance this past year with the Grizzlies, he is certainly an impact player every time he is on the floor. 


5 Joakim Noah 
Chicago Bulls 
Rating: 86 
Scoring: C+
Shooting: D
Driving: C+ 
Passing: C+
Rebounding: A+
Defense: A+
"IT" Factor: B
     I hate Joakim Noah's style of play, but he is an exceptional rebounder and defender and he will be a key part of the Chicago Bulls in the future.

6 Tyson Chandler 
Dallas Mavericks 
Rating: 86 
Scoring: B+
Shooting: C+
Driving: B+
Passing: B-
Rebounding: A
Defense: A+
"IT" Factor: A
     Without Tyson Chandler, the Mavericks do not have the defensive presence underneath that allowed them to win a championship. So without Chandler, the Mavericks do not win the championship. That must show you the value and importance of Tyson Chandler. 


7 Andrew Bynum 
Los Angeles Lakers 
Rating: 85 
Scoring: B
Shooting: C
Driving: B
Passing: C
Rebounding: A
Defense: A
"IT" Factor: B-
     Andrew Bynum is a good player, but he might just be the most overrated player in the NBA. I mean the Lakers seriously told the Denver Nuggets that they wouldn't give up Bynum for Carmelo, are they insane? Bynum is always injured and even when healthy, he is not as good as someone like Dwight Howard, who the Lakers think he is. Bynum is holding the Lakers back big time for someone who isn't healthy often. 


8 Andrea Bargnani 
Toronto Raptors 
Rating: 85 
Scoring: A
Shooting: A
Driving: B
Passing: A-
Rebounding: C
Defense: B-
"IT" Factor: B+
     Maybe giving Barganani a C for rebounding is a little bit generous, but he is still a good scorer and a good shooter. Right now, he is a poor man's Dirk Nowitzki, but with time he may be able to get somewhere closer to his level. Bargnani has a very good offensive game, he just needs to start rebounding and playing better defense. 


9 Andrew Bogut 
Milwaukee Bucks 
Rating: 85 
Scoring: B+
Shooting: A-
Driving: B+
Passing: A-
Rebounding: A
Defense: A-
"IT" Factor: B
     Bogut was coming on strong two years ago but he has tailed off recently. For a number one pick, he's been a little bit of a disappointment, but he still has time to lead the Bucks to some playoff runs along with Brandon Jennings. 


10 Tim Duncan
San Antonio Spurs 
Rating: 85 
Scoring: B+
Shooting: A
Driving: B+
Passing: A
Rebounding: A-
Defense: A-
"IT" Factor: A-
     Duncan's best days are behind him, we know that. He is still a productive player though, he can still score 16 and grab 10 boards. I am going to cherish Duncan's final years because he is certainly one of the games greatest players.
