NBA 2018-19: Top 10 centers this season

#9 Steven Adams

Adams is a stellar player at his usage rate, never wasting a single dribble and doing all of the little things

The Oklahoma City Thunder have committed near-max money to their only long-term benefit from the James Harden trade for an eminently good reason.

The ponytailed 7', 260-pound center is the best offensive rebounder in the game today, and one of the most devastating roll men to go with it.

Never the type of player to play beyond his limits, Adams is a stellar player at his usage rate, never wasting a single dribble and doing all of the little things that help OKC win but don't show up on the final box score.

A hard screen-setter, one of the best boxing-out big men as well as one of the most adept centers at switching onto swingmen at the perimeter, Adams plays his role to a T, to the point where a lot of NBA fans would consider him to be a borderline All-Star at this point.

Adams may have reached his ceiling as a player already, but that ceiling is pretty damn neat as is.
