Your Top-5 Centers 25 and Younger

[clover]

1.) A healthy Andrew Bynum
2.) DeMarcus Cousins
3.) Brook Lopez
4.) Greg Monroe
5.) Nikola Vucevic

I need to see more from Jonad Valancinuas but he's close to bumping out Vucevic in my list. I considet Drummond a PF. As long as he plays along side Greg Monroe, he's a 4 to me.

I would think Drummond, at 7' and 279 pounds as a 19-year-old, is a pure center and Monroe the one playing the 4 in that situation.

Drummond is listed at 6'10".

He measured 6'9 3/4" without shoes, and 6'11 3/4" with shoes at the combine as an 18-year-old:

Monroe actually measured out to the same height without shoes, but apparently wore his flats for the 'with shoes' measurement.  And he was 30+ pounds lighter than Drummond:

Drummond is listed at 6'10".

So is Dwight Howard who played with the 7 ft Gasol and was the center.  In the Pistons depth charts that I found he is listed as C while Monroe is listed as PF. 

I believe Drummond's game is very similar to Dwight.  Drummond played less minutes than Dwight (in his first year), but he put up better numbers per 36 in almost every category. 

The potential is there.  If he can prove he can keep his production over greater minutes, he can be a dominant center.
