 What's the worry y'all we back with the last edition of this series Well, we're even reacting to Annie Bailey's and Dan for Veil's top 15 ever position We've done point guard through power forwards and today is finally sent her and the main matchup is right there You know a yoke edge in Joel and B So if you missed the first four episodes of this mini series go back and rewatch them They've been a lot of fun Like I said, I will get back to watch it like highlights and stuff But I think like reading articles and reacting to them are just as fun as watching highlights at times because you know Some articles we have in some of the wildest things so I've been I've been reading the comments section I've been seeing other suggestions for videos that y'all want to see I appreciate that okay Leave a like on the video if you knew subscribe. Let's get into it top 15 centers this Season and we're starting off When a few years ago the center position seemed to be the NBA's endangered list I remember that I remember when people are like the center position is dead and then these two dudes came Onto the scene and then a lot of other guys just stepped up their play alright from 15 to 11 We have Christian wood Valinus Eunice Derek favors Montress Harold, and I'm guessing that's broken not Robin. Oh, it better be broken not Robin Lopez We had Christian will which is so cool to see because Christian will even though he's only 22 years old It seems like he's 26 because he's played for like five different rosters already And I'm hoping that maybe he found his home I know he's a free agent this season I want to figure out What Detroit decides to do but he's one of the few like bright future players on their roster right now But they're probably gonna throw that man a bag because the second half of the season. He was playing pretty good, and I think it was Sports logically he's another youtuber here. He has this theory I think it's called the Josh Jackson theory of like how players Stats look better the second half of the season young players stats look better the second half of the season because They'll get him a rest because they're playing for bad teams Christian will could potentially fall into that because he's playing for a team that had traded drumming away for a bag of balls They, you know, Derek Rose had been injured and then st. They play Griffin So somebody was gonna need to get some points, but I believe that Christian woods a really good player And I hope he actually finds his home very very soon. Then we have the 14th. This is Jonas Valenchunas I like watching Valenchunas, but I've talked to a few grizzly fans about Valenchunas because though he is good I think he's like 27 years old so he doesn't really fit the timeline of like John Moran and Jiren Jackson Jr And I've seen people that actually watch every single game say that they like Valenchunas But there's ties where you want him to to play make a little bit more because he is so much like an offensive juggernaut On the on the block and stuff you rather probably have some shots going to trade jail or John Moran But overall I do like Valenchunas It's kind of tough that he got traded away for the Marcus all thing But I think it worked out for for both teams like Marcus all gets his ring and Valenchunas Just still you know providing for the Memphis Grizzlies. Then Derek Favres. Derek Favres always been an underrated player I think his value was lost a little bit over the past couple of seasons running the four alongside Rudy Gobert And then he seemed to blossom once he was on like running with the second unit where Rudy Gobert was on the bench And he was playing in his natural position of the five and now he's actually running the five for the Pelicans It's been working out pretty well for him. Then Mattress Harrow Some of y'all may think this may be low for the player that Mattress Harrow is but I saw this and Maybe early in the season and I keep thinking about when I watch Mattress Harrow One of the main reasons Mattress Harrow is so important and so impactful is because he is an high-energy guy, right? He is an high-energy intensity type player Well, if it's tired It's not really that useful, right? So see a Mattress Harrow play a ton of minutes sometimes It's like he loses his value because he's not playing in those quick four minute bursts He's actually playing for eight minutes at a time He's just kind of loses value towards the second half of that eight minutes and every time I watch the clip is play I'm looking out for that after reading. I think I've read it on Reddit or something But Mattress Harrow overall still a still a good player, man He shows that like hard work and just playing a certain role can get you very far He's like reminding me of Kenneth Reid, but a better version of Kenneth Reid Where it's like motor motor murder dunk on you aggressiveness intensity and boom bag this offseason I don't know from where I don't know if the clip is doing clippers on the one giving him the bag But bag this offseason. Then we have Rick Lopez I made a tweet about a week or two ago saying that imagine going back to your 2015 and Telling the 2015 version of yourself yourself that one day brick Lopez is going to be an all-defensive type center and And then he'd kind of abandon his back to the basket play and start to stretch the floor You look at yourself your oldest self like bro. You're an idiot. There's no way that's happening So brick Lopez is like the prime example of like mold in your game to go with what the league looks like You know I'm saying he is the perfect center for a guy like Yanis where hey even this season He's not shooting it amazingly like he wasn't be last year He's still that much of a threat that teams are guarding him at the three-point line And like I said, he is legitimately an all-defensive player candidate. I'd probably give it to My centers depending on how you classify I don't know if the NBA is gonna have Anthony Davis at a center or a power four But if they have him then I would probably go and be go bear on one one and two teams or go bear in B Whichever way and then if we had a third team all-defensive boom Brick Lopez is right there for me personally Yeah, he's just he's just an amazing defender in five years ago. We weren't really saying that he's just He got that small contract and he was like, you know what okay? If this is the trajectory of my NBA career, I need to change it up and then he became a splash mountain Okay number 10 top 10 here. We are Steven Adams. That's a winning player, man Just a winning player in every situation, which is I guess he's only played for one team But in that team he's played with this player this player this player This the team has looked differently like three different times since Steven Adams has been the starting center and one thing's consistent They're gonna be a playoff team Steven Adams sets hard screens. He's unselfish. He doesn't care about his individual stats He's an above-average defender plays his role perfectly. It's so crazy to think about when he was draft I remember draft they had a pit what he looked like and now compared to what he looks like now They're like it's two completely different people and I love his interviews. You know I'm saying I love his interviews That's a plus. That's always a plus number nine Sergi Baca beautiful spot for surge This season Marcus all has been kind of injury plague I think he had two different hamstring injuries if I'm not mistaken and Sergi Baca stepped right in that starting spot I was like, okay, we're not gonna miss a beat. That's kind of just how the rock the Raptors culture is It's like, okay, we'll have an injury next man on mentality But not only was he feeling that role. He was doing amazing in 2019 2020 Ebacca's averaging a career high 16 points per game Hitting 40% of his 3.3 point attempts per game another situation like Rick Lopez of a guy evolving with the time One year one year two year three year four surge was not stretching the floor He wasn't he was getting dirty down low and again He evolved to elongate his career and I love to see players do that just not stuck in their ways Because we've seen players basically play theirself out of the NBA because they were so set on this is what I can do And I refuse to do anything else Next number eight Lamarcus Aldrich Lamarcus Aldrich, man I would be honest with each which I have not watched a ton of Spurs games this season It's just something about the Spurs is kind of like, okay I'll watch him if there's nothing else on like they somehow have the last game They don't know a big West Coast trip I watch them but I'm not going out of my way to really watch the Spurs and I can just look at statistics and know that Lamarcus Has been cool, but I do I do remember there's a time period where Lamarcus is all of a sudden starts shooting threes and it opened the game up for DeMar and everything Lamarcus went from like Not attempt to three so the first half of the season like you know what? I'm gonna tip like for a game five a game and then that opened the game up From December 23rd to the start of the hiatus Aldrich's average 4.2 3.8 times per game and shot 41% which is so weird to me when players like him I mean if you shoot a 41% on 4.2 attempts You've always had it in you to be able to stretch the floor or be able to hit a three It's just so weird to me that like players just won't think about it like I have the ability I have the ability to hit the three But I just just don't want to do it and then eventually he's like, okay I'll do it and he did and he did it successfully so this is very weird players like that number seven DeAndre Aiden That's a I think that's kind of high, but then I'm looking at the people below him So I guess it's not that high DeAndre Aiden He had the suspension at the beginning of the season and I do believe that if he wasn't suspended for those 25 games The Suns would be in such a better position. I mean obviously he's there a better way better team when he's on the floor And I remember going to a game here in Chicago this season where he looked like a king my life's a one He was blocking everything. Of course. He was going against the Bulls and we don't We don't really have a center rotation that can match DeAndre Aiden So it was like a man of most boys. He was looking amazing and I was like, okay If you can do this against like the rest of the centers in the NBA, I mean the Phoenix Suns are looking nice I know we're gonna look back on draft day for them at their first overall pig in the fact They didn't take Luca, but if DeAndre Aiden can be a multiple-time all-star in his career and potentially the Suns hit a couple Playoff berths and everything. I don't think they're looking back on it What we're great even though Luca could be like could be like a generational star as long as DeAndre Aiden is cool I think they'll be fine his 57% true shooting percentage eclipses league average One thing I wish more for him is that he attempted more free throws. That's one thing He is super athletic. He should be getting to the free throw line way more than what he is I don't know what he's getting at But I definitely remember looking at his stats like that's that's the amount of free throws you're taking a game So just be a little more physical on that block or something number in number six Who's a bitch? I'm who's a bitch is always gonna be around this realm You know last year Oh, maybe it was a year before that he was an all-star you had to put up career numbers He's just always gonna be good and I'm saying so I cannot complain. I don't really have an opinion of lucives He's he just kind of seems to be there a lot of the times which is just weird to say number five there by the bio This man was no it knit his list last season and now he is a top five center in the NBA according to Dan Bailey No Drew Bailey and Dan favela. I think maybe I got the names mixed up He's number five here, but then by the bio may embody the future of the center position. Yes That's why I really like that guy at a USC. I Double-O. That's why I'm gonna call him for all his tired of his career because I cannot pronounce his name he reminds me of bam and like Just like the frame just pretty much they just fit each other Completely, I love them. I'm gonna buy you if you watch my main channel You know that bam is like one of my favorite bigs in the league right now. He does everything right According to Zach Lowe's he went 31 for 50 on the corner threes at the pre-drive workout for the Miami Heat Okay, why are we why haven't we seen that then how about we we transition that to like real games, man And I think Jimmy Butler wasn't Jimmy Butler like finding bam like a hundred or some dollars if you win a game without shooting The three because so apparently he can't hit him. He just refused to shoot him. Come on, man But imagine when he do I'll tell you the future that seems like a nice if I mean the present the future the Number four really go bear. I think it's a good spy because I know who's above him Really go bear. It's always gonna be like a defensive juggernaut. It's just so weird to me my father's the dogs You know, it's in the dogs. We go great. Um It's this upcoming Seasons when he's eligible for Supermax is gonna be very telling on what the NBA's general managers believe about the defensive Defensive importance of certain players. You know I'm saying like again I believe that really go bear amongst bigs is the most impactful Defender in the league But is he worth the Supermax if I'm a general manager probably not and that is saying something We talking about a guy that's two time defense player years probably gonna make an all defensive team again But I don't think he's worth for Supermax because his holes on the offensive side of the ball But offensively he has been getting better per season. It's just like he just ain't there just yet You know, it was an article that came out a couple days ago And I don't know I don't know if it was true or anything But it was something along the lines of really go bear is upset the diamond Mitchell gets the ball more There's a reason he gets the ball more Rudy He's he's a good offensive player and you just you just aren't like I if I am the coach if I am Quinn Snyder I am not calling for duck ends back to the basket buckets Rudy go bear you rolled to the bass you catch it live You get off as a rebound you put it back up. That's your offense That's your offense. It's not okay We're gonna give him back to the basket like he's the market soldier Zach Randolph Al Jefferson type No, it's not what you're good at. It's just know your role. Know what you're good at Is this just stay there or any offseason develop into Al Jefferson? somehow He dominates the field in 538's new catch all defensive raptor rating which incorporates Box minus numbers on off data and tracking data. Yes. So we know that he is an elite defender number three I'm guessing is gonna be cat and I am correct. I am correct I would love to see cat back in the playoffs his first playoff appearance left a lot to be to be desired It just wasn't amazing and I don't really blame if I'm not mistaken. They want to get Houston in that first round or Maybe it wasn't used. I don't remember who they went against But he struggled until like maybe the last game or two of the series And we know that he's the most I would say he's one of the most talented bigs. I've ever seen He's the best shooting big I've ever seen but like pure talent. I mean at this age I mean, you know I'm saying I'm not comparing him to 28-year-old this player this player but like at this age of what 24 25 Three years. Oh, he's probably the most talented big I've seen we need him to play better on the defensive side of the ball that and he's been taking steps every single season But if he can become a league average defender for the center position and the Minnesota Timbals are trying to make efforts to to get the team better around him They can make it one day the list of players who have a better offensive plus minus than towns 4.8 through out five seasons on the short and oppressive Michael Jordan LeBron James Vince Carter Chris Paul Yolkins David Robinson Charles Barkley and Karim Abdul Zabar that is a great company He isn't quite the pastor LeBron CP 3 and Yolkins are right off the bat though. He has a career hot Okay, we know he can pass the ball pretty well Then we have Joel and be that number two and Yolkins and number one I agree with that but the people that think it's on the way that's okay, too If you think that you know that it beat is the best in the league I'm not gonna I'm not gonna argue with you I won't argue with you because it could be either way personally. I like Yolkins
