DeMarcus Cousins is the NBA's best center
Cousins is making the most of a lousy situation in Sacramento, putting up monster stat lines on a nightly basis. Earlier this season, Boogie scored 56 points and shot 70 percent from the field in a game against the Hornets - and the Kings lost! He needs to do a better job of keeping his emotions in check, but his uncommon skill set for a big man has him in position to dominate opposing centers for years to come. While centers have become an afterthought in the modern era, Cousins currently sits in the top five in the NBA in both scoring and rebounding.
Andre Drummond is the NBA's best center
While a handful of centers have extended their game out beyond the 3-point line, Drummond does his best work in the post, scoring the majority of his points around the rim. Through the first six games of the season, Drummond averaged 20.3 points and 20.3 boards, and racked up double-digit rebounds in 39 of the first 43 games. While free throws remain his Achilles heel, there's no better rebounder in the league. As a 22-year-old, he leads the league in boards by a comfortable margin and has the size and skills to be the franchise center the Pistons view him as.
