Nikola Vucevic (2011-2020)

Offensive talents in the Montenegrin center cannot be taught. His mid-range and three-point shooting near the basket is so impressive that he led the Magic to their first playoff participation in ten years, averaging 20.8 points, 12 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. The one drawback to him is that he gives up a lot of points on defense, so players like Mo Bamba must cover him there.

Karl-Anthony Towns (2015-2020)

Towns are one of the league’s most athletic players, so he’s a force driving to the basket. He also plays well in the low position and has excellent shooting for a center. Overall, when the Dominican is on fire, he’s an unstoppable force. Towns are coming off a stellar season in which he averaged 24.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game. As a result, even if his defense has been critiqued in the past, Towns has proven that he can be an outstanding shot-blocker. However, it looks that his enormous skill is being squandered by the Timberwolves.
