He may never be an All-Star, but the Rockets won’t win without him. That’s him being a solid big man for a Rockets team that’s probably going to have a lot of missed shots this season. Despite that, it’s enough to warrant this standing. His talent is undeniable but a lot of his numbers have been from the easy looks he receives. However, I almost have to put him at the number six spot. Now, I’m low on him again because he has a better player in Russell Westbrook sliding in for Paul. I’ve been low on Clint Capela due to the fact that he’s had the opportunity to play off of James Harden and Chris Paul. #6: Clint CapelaĢ018-19 season stats: 67 games played, 16.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.5 blocks, 0.7 steals, and a 64.8 field goal percentage. If he can develop into a better scorer this season, I see no reason why Drummond can’t be considered a top-five center in the league. The fact that he’s been as consistent as he has puts him at seventh, for me. With Blake Griffin, he forms a dynamic duo that’s been potent during their time together. ![]() His work with the Detroit Pistons has been something to marvel at. 53.3 field goal percentage, and a 13.2 three-point percentage.Īndre Drummond is arguably the league’s best rebounder. #7: Andre DrummondĢ018-19 season stats: 79 games played, 17.3 points, 15.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 blocks, 1.7 steals. It’s up to Vucevic to bring Orlando back to the playoffs once again. They have a roster that’s capable of surprising many people. You’ll find teams make the playoffs that wouldn’t cut it in the West. The Eastern Conference is significantly weaker. He notched his first All-Star appearance. Although he didn’t show up in the playoffs for Orlando, he had a pretty solid year. Nikola Vucevic had himself a breakout season for the Magic. #8: Nikola VucevicĢ018-19 season stats: 80 games played, 20.8 points 12.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1.0 steals, 51.8 field goal percentage and a 36.4 three-point percentage. Adams might have himself another solid season considering he’s going from one elite playmaker in Russell Westbrook to another in Chris Paul. But, those aren’t things that he does better than the other players ahead of him. Adams is able to score, rebound, and be the energy guy for the Thunder. There are plenty of big men who are better than him. #9: Steven AdamsĢ018-19 season stats: 80 games played, 13.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 blocks, 1.5 steals, and a 59.5 field goal percentage. However, who knows what can happen with Kyrie Irving as his teammate. That’s what puts him at the #10 spot for me. Jordan, at least to me, isn’t as great as he once was. ![]() However, he hasn’t gotten better after being the monster he was in Los Angeles. At this point, he’s a solid big man that anyone can benefit from having on their team. #10: DeAndre JordanĢ018-19 season stats: 69 games played, 11.0 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.6 steals, and a 63.9 field goal percentage.ĭeAndre Jordan has taken a massive drop-off from the player he was on the Clippers. After ranking my top-10 power forwards, I end my positional ranking with my top-10 centers for 2019-20. We’ll then cap it off by giving my top-10 players for the new season. I’ll go through each position and give my opinion/analysis for the top-10 at each position. I started by giving my predictions as to who the Western Conference playoff teams were going to be. Per Sources’ 2019-20 NBA season preview continues.
