Where does Vooch rank among all centers in the NBA?

Postby SmiteaDwight on Fri Jan 04, 2013 5:42 pm

As he is currently playing, not as a future prospect or anything.

In my estimation he's somewhere between 10 and 15.

Thoughts?

Are we talking entire season or just the way Vucevic has been playing lately? Depends on what you want from your center, but here's my list:

Tyson Chandler
Brook Lopez
Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard
Anderson Varejao

Al Jefferson
Marc Gasol
Al Horford
Greg Monroe
Jo Noah

Demarcus Cousins
JaVale McGee
Nikola Pekovic
Deandre Jordan
JJ Hickson

***Vucevic***

Robin Lopez
Andre Drummond
Larry Sanders
Chris Kaman
Kosta Koufos

Nene
Omer Asik
Roy Hibbert (would be higher, but shooting 42% this year)
Spencer Hawes
Emeka Okafor

^Looks about right, except I think Chandler is a bit overrated if you're saying he's #1

Varejao is definitely overratd too.

Hibbert should definitely be higher.

Looking at that list, the center position is underrated in the NBA. Sure, there aren't the Robinson's, Ewing's, Olajuwon's and Shaq's, but there are a lot of pretty good players.

Vucevic is 7th overall in rebounds per game (10.5rpg), 36th in blocks per game (1.1bpg), and 21st among centers in scoring at 11.1ppg

When is the last time you have seen omar play?

O'Quinn will have a longer and more successful NBA career than Nicholson. Any takers?

I could watch Asik play defense all day, but his stone hands on offense kill it for me.

If we're just talking about this year, Andy has been out of his mind. I explained why I rated Hibbert so low. He has been bad this year.

He's the best defensive center this year by a mile, and he shoots about 69% on offense. Sorry, I probably like him more than most people.

Why is McGee only playing 18 minutes? He has his issues, but he should be starting over Koufos. Can't imagine it all has to do with his asthma and playing in the mountains since there have been plenty of games where he's played above his average at home and less than his average away.

1. George Karl is always cooky with his lineups. He never played JR Smith huge minutes either.
2. If you look at the +/- for the Nuggets lineups. The top 4 all have KK in them. I don't know if that's coincidence, but he does a lot of little stuff that makes him above average, and he probably flows better with Faried and Gallo at eh forwards.

McGee plays only 18 minutes because he sucks at defense

also that list is all out of whack, Vucevic should be ranked higher and Dwight has been average to terrible at everything this year except rebounding

So the answer is while he was in Chicago? He has improved, he has wood hands now. Seriously though, here in Houston, people rate him very highly. Almost as high as harden.
