The center position in the NBA has evolved significantly, shifting from dominance by large players to a guards' league. This change impacts both league play and fantasy basketball, where elite centers are rare.
Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs stands out as a rookie star and top pick for fantasy drafts thanks to his impressive statistics. Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets follows closely as a three-time MVP.
Other notable big men include Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, and Chet Holmgren, all of whom face health challenges despite their elite talent.
Several players like Bam Adebayo, Domantas Sabonis, and Myles Turner offer solid contributions but are not yet considered elite. Reliable options for fantasy teams include Jarrett Allen and Rudy Gobert, while others may fall into backup roles.
