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

#2 Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokic

"The Joker" has already established himself as the best passing big man in the league right now and perhaps in NBA history too. Also, despite averaging just over 20 points per game, he has shown that he is capable of getting 30 or even 40+ when required which he displayed versus the Spurs this past postseason.

Nikola Jokic's all-round skill is simply incredible as he can create 2 or 3 points for his team in so many different ways. Also, his defense has improved in the last couple of seasons as well as his rebounding average which has gone up to 10.8 per game.

His job will be to lead the Nuggets to a place in the Western Conference Finals where they can really start thinking about competing for the Championship.

#1 Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid

The Cameroonian center is just so dominant on both ends of the floor that he has drawn many comparisons to a top 5 center of all-time Hakeem Olajuwon. Joel Embiid averaged 27.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game last season which shows that he is a monster in the low-post and can consistently knock down mid-range plus 3-point jumpers.

On the defensive end, there are few who can protect the paint like him. So now that he'll be joined by another elite rim protector in Al Horford, the Sixers have a great chance of making the NBA Finals next season.
