HoopsHype has been busy releasing player and team rankings of different varieties this offseason. One of its main summer playlists is slotting the best players at each position, starting with the point guard position and ending with the center position.
To wrap up August, the publication ranked the top 30 NBA centers for the 2024-25 season.
OKC Thunder appears on ranking… in a controversial spot
The Oklahoma City Thunder will continue to be viewed as one of the fastest-emerging teams in recent history. From a win total in the 20s three seasons ago to 57 wins last season, the franchise has firmly jumped onto the radar.
While superstar playmaker Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — who finished the 2023 campaign as the MVP runner-up — is a big part of Oklahoma City’s budding championship status, not far behind him is 22-year-old ascending-star center Chet Holmgren, who continues to turn the wheel entering Year 2 of his career.
