Listen to Chris Broussard rank his top six big men in the NBA in this week’s installment of The Odd Couple’s BIG SIX.
Here are the rankings below and some of the biggest takeaways.
6. LaMarcus Aldridge: “Gives you 21 and 9 and has been the centerpiece of 50-win teams for the bulk of his career.”
5. Karl-Anthony Towns: “Gaudy 24 and 12 numbers but I gotta see some wins before I rank him higher.”
4. Rudy Gobert: “Only gets you 15 or 16 points but he’s a defensive phenom and Utah builds their whole system around him.”
3. Anthony Davis: “Can a brotha see some wins?? AD gotta show me something!”
2. Joel Embiid: “When he plays he’s phenomenal but can I count on him to be there every night??”
1. Nikola Jokic: “Can’t jump a lick and I’m not sure if he can dunk but the boy is BAAAADDDD. He’s like Larry Bird where he can’t jump and doesn’t look athletic but you CAN’T STOP HIM. Can you imagine him in the East with a legit second star??”
