In the modern NBA, the center occupies an interesting place.
For a long time, the big man dominated the league. Most teams opted to run their offense through a big man on the low block.
In today’s game, that isn’t the case.
Now, big men have new responsibilities. They’re expected to be able to space the floor. If they can’t, they’d better be a multi-positional defender instead.
A multi-positional defender like, for example, Bam Adebayo.
Meanwhile, Nikola Vucevic is a limited defender, but he provides strong floor spacing.
Could the two end up being teammates this season?
