To me he is at the same level of Claxton already and people say he’s a top 40 player
Dude….are you high? Chet isn't playing center for OKC, he's going to be PF. Heartenstein is the center and he averaged 8/8 last year. You have him ranked above Lively and Gafford??? Seriously? Goebert? Reid is a PF who can play some center. I'd rank him as good or better but Goebert is a drag on their team. He's good at the rim and useless everywhere else. Porzingas isn't even starting the season with Boston. There are some decent center combos, but you really went out on the limb with your picks.
I think you're honestly under ranking lively impact even against the list you've both compiled. I'm nowhere near a Homer but damn what lively did alone last post season as a rookie was worth top 5. Lively projection was changed and imo similar to chet literally right behind wemby
Dude, Wemby isn't a center. He plays small forward for them and roams. They eventually put him at center/PF and he played better, but he doesn't like playing there so people shouldn't expect him to stay there unless they can't find a decent center to play alongside him.
Lively is an elite center
Similar to SGA nobody knew beforehand. This year will come now opportunity leading to more media attention.
Bernard James, Samuel Dalembert, Chris Kamen, Javale McGee, Willie Caulie Stein, Zaza, Andrew Bogut, Salah Mejri. Who's missing from the Center carousel?
Are you guys serious? Top 5 for me.
Chet and Lively are even match. Lively will take a few 3s and gonna to be as good scoring. Forgot Chet chasing Lively?
Have to see Hartstein play and it is first year adjustments with Thunders.
Kidd phrase “don’t forget Sharp”

"Former future former maverick" actually makes sense 😅
I think our centers are top 5 duo. I am disappointed that a duo that one guy has not played an NBA game is ahead of our two. You guys hurt my feelings. Oh well, we have the best back court in the business.
I thought this was supposed to be a mavs show smh….. I have Derek Lively and Daniel Gafford at #1
Denver, philly, Minnesota, OKC, Spurs, dallas, lakers – probably forgetting someone but yeah I think everyone sleeping on wemby and Zach Collins.. and overeating Anthony Davis –
Loving these recent shows ranking things across the NBA, gives a great picture of where the Mavs are compared to the rest of the league in different categories, also gets me pumped for the upcoming season thinking about each other teams’ new rosters
If you include Dwight the Destroyer, Mavs are number 1 😎
Anything
I thought Powell was gone.
The hell you guys smoking? Trying not to be a homer is dumb, when clearly these 2 guys made the mavs have the best record after the trade.
Sorry not having them in top 10 is disrespect nick sorry some of them infront are not as effective as they are sorry
Sorry but where is the defence now ? Like centers are primary defenders now jokic is all offense and no defence saric ia nithing sooo how are they better duo then lively and gaf sorry this list is WRONG i am prepared to debate it if you would have me
Celtics is not even top 10 sorry horford is 40 and porzingis is injured all the tim this list is just bad nick BAD
Wemby and colins are you serieous
Pirst time i wont listen to the pod after less then half the video
You know what that intro song has grown on me and it gets me pumped! 1 month away from the championship run!
Slightly is a national treasure
