Nikola Vucevic (2011-2020)

There are offensive skills in the Montenegrin center that can’t be taught. His mid-range and 3-point scoring around the rim is so amazing that he led the Magic to their first playoff appearance in 10 years by averaging 20.8 points, 12 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. The only downside to him is that he lets up many points on the defensive end, so guys like Mo Bamba must cover him on that end of the floor for him.

Karl-Anthony Towns (2015-2020)

Towns are one of the league’s most athletic men, so he’s a beast driving to the rim. He is also great in the low post, while his shooting for a center is also outstanding. Overall, he’s an unstoppable player when the Dominican is feeling it. He averaged 24.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per contest and Towns is coming off a career season. Therefore, Towns has shown that he can be an elite shot-blocker even if his defense has been criticized in the past. It appears, however, that his immense talent is being wasted on the Timberwolves.
