For the last four weeks, we have put every single NBA position into a tier list. Today we have the last one. We have NBA centers. We have the top tier. You're literally Shaq, bro. Second tier, you're a two-way demigod. Third tier, big for good reason. Fourth tier, running dunk man. Fifth tier, clock is ticking. And last tier, big for no reason. Big for no reason. So disrespectful. I have, I think, 20 of the NBA's starting centers in the league. We're going to put them into these tiers. Dang. Yeah, I got a lot this time. So we're going to fly through him. Let's start with Carl Anthony Towns. Where does he go? Big for good reason. Oh, definitely, big for good reason.

0:37.9

Definitely.

0:39.7

No one would ever accuse him of being a two-way anything. Yeah. But offensively, he's a demon. He's big for good reason. He uses all that height to shoot over people, uses that size down low to be an effective rim score. Yeah. Everyone, every now and then he's going to get your shoulder into you. He's good rebound, been great throughout the entire of his career.

0:54.9

This is positive big.

0:56.5

Hell yeah.

0:57.4

What do you guys want to do with Anthony Davis in

0:59.2

2025? Ooh, clock is ticking. It's alarming right now actually. He, yes, he's either

1:06.9

he's either going to be clocked his ticking or he's going to be two-way demigod at his at his

1:12.4

peak he is two-way demigod but what you said was critical you say anti davis in 2025 correct

1:19.0

clock is ticking exactly i don't think he has in him in him anymore to be the two-way demigod

1:24.4

he's playing well i think you be very good so but i feel like you can give him one more year of being like two-way demigod being up there. Because he's still, obviously, he's done with the injuries. He's still really good when he's on the court. There's some guys on here that even when they're on the court, the clock is ticking. That works both ways. That just means that the clock is struck. Do you want to do Anthony Davis like that? Do you feel like you don't feel like he has one more good playoff running him? I think he has one or he's only 32 or he's 38. I understand that. But his 32's old. It is a, it is a rough thing. We've gone, we've gone through the game logs before. We know how many games he's missed over the last five years. We know how unlikely

2:01.4

it is that he gets a healthy playoff run and plays four straight rounds. Just I'm there for

2:07.8

every single game. I don't know if that's going to happen. So I feel like right now the clock is

2:11.2

ticking because he has, we do know, even though that he is 32 instead of 35, he does have

2:16.2

limited time to maximize what Anthony Davis is about. Yeah. So we want to do that while when he's going to be next to some nasty names if we do this. Put him down. It's fine. We still. We still know it's ticking, but it's still hasn't struck us yet us yet. I think he's still good enough

2:34.3

who can give him that credit. But if you guys on the say you guys are really scared, I can't argue against it. I put him in two way than me because he still, you'd rather have him on than cat. One more optimistic materialist for Anthony is the last one. Yeah. The last one. Oh man. This is my goodbye. Next year though. We don't know what it's going to look like.

2:51.5

He's signing up for his pension right now.

2:53.8

Okay, relax. He's not LeBron. You're acting like he's 41. Jalen Duren. Big for good reason. Last year, he'd been running Dunkman. He was a quintessential center, set screens, roll. That man is between the legs, shooting

3:08.1

mid-range jumpers now. His bag is deep. He's big for good reason. Is there a world where we could consider him a two-way demigod? I want to, but I'm like, the defense just isn't elite level yet. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we need to see more sample size. But if you tell me he has a good playoff run and we consider him being one of the six or seven best centers in the league i believe

3:26.2

you okay but i think for now you tell me he has a good playoff run, and we consider him being one of the six or seven best centers in the league,

3:25.9

I believe you.

3:26.7

Okay.
