Yahoo Sports is breaking down the top players in the 2024 NBA Draft by position this week. On Monday, we ranked the best point guards in this class. Today, we take a look at the centers, led by potential No. 1 pick Alex Sarr. This could be the second year in a row a French center goes No. 1 overall, with the San Antonio Spurs picking Victor Wembanyama last year.
The center position is changing in the NBA and becoming more of a hybrid role. Wembanyama and Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren are both very comfortable in the open court and taking players off the dribble, and the Minnesota Timberwolves have found success by having multiple 7-footers on the court at the same time.
