Best Centers in the NBA 2019-20 season: Top 10 Centers in the NBA today

#5 Nikola Vucevic

Nikola Vucevic

The Montenegrin center has offensive skills that can't be taught. His scoring around the rim, from mid-range, as well as from 3-point land is so amazing that he led the Magic to their first playoff appearance in 10 years by averaging 20.8 points, 12 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

The only downside with him is that he lets up a lot of points on the defensive end so it's important that guys like Mo Bamba cover for him on that end of the floor.

#4 Karl-Anthony Towns

Karl-Anthony Towns

Towns is one of the most athletic big men in the league, therefore he's a beast at driving to the rim. He is also great in the low post whilst his shooting for a center is also superb. Overall, when the Dominican is feeling it, he's an unstoppable player.

Towns is coming off a career season where he averaged 24.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per contest. Therefore, even if his defense has been criticized in the past, Towns has shown that he can be an elite shot-blocker. However, on the Timberwolves, it seems that his immense talent is being wasted.

#3 Rudy Gobert

Rudy Gobert

The Stifle Tower is the best defensive player in the league and has been recognized as exactly that with consecutive Defensive Player of the Year awards.

As much credit as Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanovic, and Ingles will get for the next few seasons on the Jazz, it's Rudy Gobert that makes them contenders in the West because he transforms Utah into the best defensive team in the league on his own.
