Centers
Centers:
In the infancy of the NBA, teams were built around big men with the thought that everything goes through the center. They are physically the strongest and tallest players on the floor. Offensively, they don't usually have much range on their jumpshot nor do most of them play from the perimeter. Known as the paint or low post, this is where most centers dwell as they wait for the ball to be thrown into them. Defensively, most are adequate shot blockers and intimidators. Rebounding is a must for this position as he should be near or at the top of his team. The most talented players at this position are advanced offensive players with athleticism and mobility.
Prototypes: Wilt Chamberlain, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal
