NBA Free Agency: Top 3 centers still available

#1 Joakim Noah

Joakim Noah was impressive in his limited role for the Memphis Grizzlies

During the 13-14 NBA season, Joakim Noah was named to the All-NBA First Team while also being named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Nevertheless, the expectations of a big man have significantly changed over the past half a decade, and Joakim Noah finds himself without a team heading into the new season.

While Noah has never developed a perimeter shot, he remains an excellent defender he last season enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence with the Memphis Grizzlies following a dismal 18-month spell with the Knicks. Over 42 appearances, Noah averaged 7.1 points and 5.7 rebounds in just 16.5 minutes per game, and his form was enough for the Lakers to seriously consider signing him before eventually settling for Dwight Howard.

Ultimately, Noah is no longer a starter, however, his skill set is still effective enough to contribute in a limited role from the bench.
