Re: Top 8 Centers in the league currently
as far as rebounding goes Gobert has a higher total rebound and offensive rebound % despite playing next to another big. Sabonis has him on the defensive glass where Kat does most of his work and shares the load with Gobert

Re: Top 8 Centers in the league currently
Um….
Jokic
Embiid
Anthony Davis if he counts
Bam
Sabonis
Rudy/KP I can’t call it
Wemby, Chet, and Sengun I’m not informed enough about yet. I’ve seen them all play but not enough to be confident in a ranking right now. Not gonna just throw them somewhere for the sake of a listing.
Id consider putting Brook Lopez as a tie with those last two if he played more and his role didn’t vary so much game to game. He is quite a bit better than his numbers at times.
KAT I don’t know what to do with. We calling him a center?

Towns is a big that rebounds but plays more like a guard. More respectable list. I'm not ready to throw young guys on there just because of hype. The others have been doing it for a long time

The time they have done it doesn’t matter that much to me. I just don’t feel I know what their games enough to talk about them. The kid on the rockets has shown some nice moves but I never watched that garbage ass team for full games in recent years so I won’t judge yet.

It’s not even that.
He’s a passive, injury prone, empty stats softie standing on the shoulders of LeGiant.

Even she might give a more impartial take.

You cited DWS as the benchmark for how good of a defender Gobert is. He's 25th in the league and 5th on his own team. He's one of the best defensive players for sure, but there's no metrics that point to him being the best in the league.
