10 best centers in the NBA today

#10 Al Horford - Boston Celtics

Al Horford

With the Boston Celtics signing Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, Al Horford might have gone from the second option to probably the third option on the team but he's a that won't mind. All through his career, Horford has proven to be a player that needn't be in the spotlight but is an essential factor for the team to win.

In his first and only season with the C's, he averaged 14.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists while shooting 47.3% from the field and 35.5% from three-point range. While all other numbers seem alright, his assists numbers are particularly high for a center and that's where he's valuable to the team.

Horford will score few times in a post, he can knock down the mid-range jumper and when open can sink the long ball as well. So what Horford lacks in scoring numbers, he more than makes up for it with his passing and the spacing he provides.
