    I wish they would just remove the center position out completely. On any other team Hickson would be a PF the same could be said for Bosh. Hell a cupple of years ago Aldridge was playing a lot more center than he is now. So is he a C or a PF or I guess it just depends on what team your playing for. How many real centers are there in the NBA?

    Yes, it should be guards and forwards. They are all interchangeable.

    Real centers. I would say 5-10

    for centers averaging over 23 mpg he is 7th in the nba in PER, and 3rd in rbrate in the entire NBA

    factoring in his defensive liabilities and lack of offense, id say solid top 15ish
