I disagree with that. Maybe in terms of career production, but so far this year? I think Andy has been the best center in the East so far this year.

 

[Pugz]

this year, sure. but we all know andy isnt a #1 center, let alone #2. andy could be in the top 5 but idk

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Half of those players aren't even true centers.

 

[Hurricane Season]

by half, I mean like 3.

 

[Pugz]

gmoe baby

 

[bosoxlover12]

Half of those players aren't even true centers.

Does it matter? The way the game is evolving, there isnt a need for a true center anymore... hell that's why they changed the voting for the All Star Game so its 3 frontcourt guys, not 1 C, 2 F.

 

[bosoxlover12]

And its four, not 3.

Varejao, Noah, Hibbert, Chandler

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Why did you post those stats without mentioning your opinion?

Why did you post those stats without mentioning your opinion?

idk, just so others could use the data to backup their arguments?



my opinion is that for the ASG, Bosh will start, KG might make it because its a popularity vote, and either Varejao or Lopez will make it. Noah is nowhere near Top 3.



Now if Jake's argument is Top 3 true center in the East, well then no shit. Because there are only four, and he's better than Hibbert

Mullens>

And its four, not 3.

Varejao, Noah, Hibbert, Chandler

what?

 

[bosoxlover12]

on those lists, only four are true centers.

Who gives a shit about the All star game? Uneducated fans vote for that crap anyway.

Just glancing at advanced stats, Chandler is the only center in the east that is playing at a higher level than Noah at this point... and Bosh if you want to consider him a 5.

 

[Hurricane Season]

on those lists, only four are true centers.

Lopez and Horford are both centers.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Bynum is #1 when healthy, btw. Assuming his production would be similar to his LA days.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Lopez and Horford are both centers.

Horford isn't a true Center, Lopez clearly is though.

 

[youngguru]

lol @ Lopez not being a "true center". He's one of the few back to the basket centers left in todays game.

*in be4 he cant rebound*
