Centers Leading in PER
Just as we were ready to eulogize the center position, it comes back with a vengeance.
Anthony Davis, who often plays as the Pelicans main big man, leads the ESPN John Hollinger’s Player Efficiency Ratings list.
DeMarcus Cousins places in the top 10, with Hassan Whiteside, Joel Embid and Enes Kanter in the top 20. Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond just missed making the cut while Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan are both performing well.
And then there’s New York’s 7-foot-stud Kristaps Porzingis. Pretty impressive list.
