Is Asik even a top 20 center? I feel like I could name at least 20 other centers over him without much hesitation

You should because I can't imagine what 20 you have better.

11.7 RPG in only 30 mins and a great defender.

OK, let's see you try to come up with a list that doesn't get you laughed at.

20 may be pushing it. But there's a good list of guys who can play center that are clearly more valuable than Asik:

Duncan
Gasol
Howard
Noah
Horford
Chandler
Sanders
Bosh
Lopez

Then there is a list of "maybes", including

Pekovic
Jefferson
Drummond
Monroe
Garnett
Cousins

So while hyperbolic, this statement may not be as hyperbolic as you think.

I expected most people to start laughing by the late teens.

That would be amazing for Houston. Green would help space the floor for Dwight at the PF spot, although I don't know how he'd fair at PF in the west against players like Duncan, ZBo, Griffin and others. I like Asik, but we'd need more than just him coming back
