And we finally wrap up our big rankings week with Centers, the big men to carry your Boards-n-Blocks, so if Pete says any of these rankings are dead wrong – he knows what he’s doing! Just as long as he steers clear of my Jonas Valanciunas love – the Luminescent Lithuanian is my call! Has been since last year! Every fantasy site has been stealing it from me!
As mentioned before, all Razzball ranks are broken down by Yahoo position eligibility (view all top 200 here), so there won’t be direct positional crossover to other fantasy sites:
2013-2014 Fantasy C Rankings
(updated Oct. 8)
| POS RANK | OVERALL RANK | PLAYER, POS, TEAM | NOTE |
| 1 | 6 | Serge Ibaka, PF/C, OKC | I’ll reach, scored 4 more a game, developing deep shot, 57.3 FG% 12-13. Westbrook injury now has him a key scorer as well, but obviously doesn’t move above the big 5. |
| 2 | 9 | Marc Gasol, C, MEM | Does everything, increased scoring with Gay gone in 2nd half 12-13. |
| 3 | 10 | Kevin Love, PF/C, MEM | First-round talent, injury downside. |
| 4 | 15 | Al Horford, PF/C, ATL | Millsap is more efficient than Josh Smith, love Teague, big year for big Al. |
| 5 | 17 | Al Jefferson, PF/C, CHA | Charlotte finally has a big, offense will run through him. |
| 6 | 21 | LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, POR | Would move 5-6 spots up if guaranteed with POR all year – trade concerns. A tad gimpy right now. |
| 7 | 22 | Anthony Davis, PF/C, NO | Huge second half, lots of scorers coming in a slight concern. |
| 8 | 26 | Joakim Noah, PF/C, CHI | Injuries will be concerning, but very big year from Noah in 12-13, Rose = FG% up. |
| 9 | 27 | Larry Sanders, PF/C, MIL | GM calls him key to the team, contract extention in works, big year ahead. |
| 10 | 31 | David Lee, PF/C, GS | Often underrated, not worried about the hip injury that’s healed up. |
| 11 | 34 | Pau Gasol, PF/C, LAL | Bye-bye Dwight, hello to old ways. Or would it be hola? |
| 12 | 35 | Nikola Vucevic, PF/C, ORL | Not only a double-double guy, 2 ast 1 stl 1 blk a game as well. |
| 13 | 36 | Dwight Howard, C, HOU | Probably won’t end up on many of my teams, but upside is obviously still there. |
| 14 | 37 | Tim Duncan, PF/C, SA | Dream season last year, think he’ll come close to duplicating going for title. |
| 15 | 42 | Roy Hibbert, C, IND | Flashed elite big potential in playoffs, extremely durable. |
| 16 | 43 | DeMarcus Cousins, PF/C, SAC | Still risky, one of fantasy’s biggest high risk/reward picks yet again. |
| 17 | 46 | Nikola Pekovic, C, MIN | Already great FG% that will go up with Love, dub-dub with stl/blk a night. |
| 18 | 48 | Jonas Valanciunas, C, TOR | If you’ve read me since last year, he’s my #1 sleeper. Offense to run through him. |
| 19 | 49 | Chris Bosh, PF/C, MIA | Under-the-radar (at least to me) very productive 12-13 despite dwindling skill set/rebounding. Some further regression. |
| 20 | 50 | Derrick Favors, PF/C, UTA | The Jazz have a ton of faith in him, oozes potential/high block total. |
| 21 | 52 | Brook Lopez, C, BKN | Love his game, had him top-20 in May. Foot injury and big trade limits #s. |
| 22 | 55 | Greg Monroe, C, DET | Think Josh Smith/Jennings actually will help his fantasy value. |
| 23 | 63 | Ryan Anderson, PF/C, NO | Despite new faces, don’t think his role/numbers change much. |
| 24 | 67 | Zach Randolph, PF/C, MEM | While he’s up there in age, reliability keeps him this valuable to me. |
| 25 | 81 | Marcin Gortat, C, PHX | Another guy from the Suns that was a semi-bust but still put up #s. |
| 26 | 83 | Enes Kanter, C, UTA | Big upside in starting role. |
| 27 | 89 | JaVale McGee, C, DEN | Obvious upside with more minutes due to Karl firing, Shaqtin a Fool downside too. |
| 28 | 91 | Carlos Boozer, PF/C, CHI | One of my least favorite players, is actually going a bit underrated in 13-14. |
| 29 | 92 | Andre Drummond, PF/C, DET | Sure some upside, but 37.1 FT%? Really? |
| 30 | 94 | Andrew Bogut, C, GS | Says he’s healthy and expects big minutes, multi-cat performer, always injured… |
| 31 | 98 | Spencer Hawes, C, PHI | Has the 1st half to prove worth until Noel gets minutes, out of position 3s nice. |
| 32 | 99 | Tyson Chandler, C, NY | Not a huge fan, injury prone and a wild card, but value has him crack 100. |
| 33 | 100 | Amir Johnson, PF/C, TOR | Despite probably a sub-10 PPG scorer, gave you 1 stl 1.4 blks last year. |
| 34 | 101 | Cody Zeller, PF/C, CHA | A surprise from Summer ball, there’s upside playing next to Jefferson. |
| 35 | 103 | Chris Kaman, PF/C, LAL | Thrived when he’s gotten starting minutes, will be vastly undervalued. |
| 36 | 104 | Kevin Garnett, PF/C, BKN | Kidd says he’ll bench KG on back-to-backs, #s still there last year, down a bit. |
| 37 | 106 | Anderson Varejao, PF/C, CLE | The unreal rebounds are tough to ignore, but less minutes, Bynum = less value. |
| 38 | 107 | Kelly Olynyk, C, BOS | Minutes and opporunity are there, worth a slight bit of a reach to me. |
| 39 | 111 | Andrew Bynum, C, CLE | Don’t want him, knees hurt again, but still some upside. Yahoo @ 53 = nuts. |
| 40 | 121 | Tristan Thompson, PF/C, CLE | Loved him before Bynum/Bennett brought in, Bynum hurt, TT could start. |
| 41 | 131 | Tiago Splitter, C, SA | Underrated multi-cat year, played 81 games, nice late stat booster. |
| 42 | 135 | Greg Stiemsma, C, NO | Going to start and get the Robin Lopez role, will block and can board better. |
| 43 | 136 | ↑ Andrea Bargnani, PF/C, NYK | Apparently gelling well with Melo and Amar’e is still hurt. Not going to go nuts for him, but upside warrants the slight boost. |
| 44 | 137 | Nene Hilario, PF/C, WAS | Adds 3 dimes a game, but up there in age and not a guy I’m drafting earlier. |
| 45 | 140 | Brandan Wright, PF/C, DAL | Dalembert the de facto starter, but I see Wright getting upper 20 minutes a night. |
| 46 | 145 | John Henson, PF/C, MIL | Won’t get boatloads of minutes, but his per/48 is fantastic and can contribute. |
| 47 | 149 | Omer Asik, C, HOU | Huge loss of minutes, Dwight/Asik frontcourt would be worst FT% ever. |
| 48 | 150 | J.J. Hickson, PF/C, DEN | Behind Faried and McGee, will still get pretty solid minutes. |
| 49 | 154 | Robin Lopez, C, POR | Looking like he’ll start & could repeat 12-13 which has value even though he blows. |
| 50 | 157 | ↓ Amar’e Stoudemire, PF/C, NY | Name value probably has him going earlier, not touching him. |
| 51 | 163 | Samuel Dalembert, C, DAL | Set to start, won’t play huge minutes but will boost blocks. |
| 52 | 165 | Luis Scola, PF/C, IND | Relegated to the bench, still has efficient scoring upside. |
| 53 | 167 | DeAndre Jordan, C, LAC | Strictly a guy for blocks and a handful of boards, the FT% destroys you. |
| 54 | 174 | Nerlens Noel, PF/C, PHI | Will get eased in, always a chance he has big last couple of months. |
| 55 | 176 | Kosta Koufos, PF/C, MEM | Was productive in only 22 minutes/per last year, will get 18-20 and a few boards. |
| 56 | 177 | Brandon Bass, PF/C, BOS | Unclear role with Humphries/Wallace stealing some minutes. |
| 57 | 180 | Glen Davis, PF/C, ORL | Hurt, probably misses opener, they’re trying to dump him – 180 from my thoughts in May. |
| 58 | 183 | Patrick Patterson, PF/C, SAC | P Pat is stuck in that 3-man PF rotation with Landry/Jason Thompson. |
| 59 | 185 | Ed Davis, PF/C, MEM | Randolph is reliable but old, Davis showed potential with TOR in 1st half of 12-13. |
| 60 | 188 | Alex Len, C, PHO | Coming off surgery on both ankles I don’t think he’s good even if Gortat is moved. |
| 61 | 194 | Greg Oden, C, MIA | Yeah if someone wants to draft him before here, go ahead. |
| 62 | 198 | Marressee Speights, PF/C, GS | Think he’s a better player than opportunities he’s been given, works into mins. |
| 63 | 199 | Jermaine O’Neal, C, GS | Somehow managed 1.4 blks a game in 12-13 in 18 minutes per. |
| 64 | 200 | Boris Diaw, PF/C, SA | Just so fun to say his name like Rick Flair, he had to be my Mr. Irrelevant! |
