Deep Dives: 10-Year Draft Retrospective Part Four--Centers

Nick brings Nathan back on the show to close out their four-part 10-Year Draft Retrospective with a discussion of centers. They dive deep into the evolution of the center skill set over the past 10 years, and how much more studio space 7-footers have to work with today. Then, they talk about bench big men, and the value of churning the end of the NBA roster for bigs off the bench. Finally, they wrap up by discussing some of the centers in the 2025 NBA Draft Class, including Derik Queen, Ryan Kalkbrenner, as well as Khaman Maluach and Tomislav Ivisic following Nathan's recent in-person scouting experience.
