Ranking: The Top 25 centers for the 2022-23 season
We complete our offseason ranking series today with our projected Top 25 centers ahead of the 2022-23 season.
This position group is an interesting one in that the top-two guys on the list are MVP candidates – the No. 1 and No. 2 finishers in the voting for the award over the last two years, in fact – while the bottom of the ranking is made up of a fairly average group of low-level starters and high-level backups.
Regardless, thanks to the top guys in the ranking, the center spot has made a resurgence in the modern NBA in a big way after many thought the position to be left in the past due to the importance of versatility, three-point shooting and the abandonment of low-post play in today’s game.
Below, check out the Top 25 centers for the 2022-23 season, as voted on by a panel of our writers and editors.
