3:46am, 9 May 2025【Basketball】
After the Lakers were eliminated, the problem of their lack of center was put on the table. Pelinka also said that they would introduce suitable players to help the team during the offseason. To be honest, if Ma Wei's deal is completed, the Lakers will have a chance to compete for the championship this season. In order to save a first-round pick, Pelinka missed the excellent opportunity to compete for the championship. Today, the US media Sportsnet released the offseason free market centers, let’s take a look at what high-quality centers there are.
Achuwa
Achuwa is a small center. His athletic ability is very good and he is active in the fight. But to be honest, the small center in the free market is not very popular now. After all, the big center has begun to rise, but it is still a good choice to make him a substitute inside. After all, the killing efficiency is good and there is still a certain amount of space ability. Achuwa averaged 6.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1 assist in the regular season this season.
Colins
John Collins has proved himself with the Jazz this season. He is one of the best space insiders in the active league and has a good ability to eat cake. He has a player option in the offseason and is probably going to pursue a big contract. Collins' defensive ability is not very good. He is more suitable to play at the No. 4 position. This season, Collins averages 19 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and has a three-point shooting percentage of 40%.
Rooney
Rooney is a complete free agent like Achuwa in the offseason. As a veteran of the Warriors' championship, I think he may not leave the Warriors. Although the team will not give him a big contract, he will not get a big contract when joining other teams. His defense can help the team, and he also has playoff experience. The data often cannot show his value. This season, averaging 4.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
Dramond
Zhuang Shen said in an interview that his plan is to return to the 76ers next season to continue playing. He has a player option in the offseason. If a team is willing to give him a multi-year contract, Drummond is probably willing to change jobs. Zhuang Shen is now one of the best substitute centers in the league. His rebounding ability is too excellent. Zhuang Shen can average 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1 steal per game this season, and the top three rebounding ability is active.
Horford
Horford is a complete free agent in the offseason. Although Horford is 38 years old, he still has oil in the fuel tank. Friends who often watch the Celtics games should be able to find that Horford has helped the team more than Porzingis, and his space, support and defensive abilities are excellent. However, considering his age, he will not get a long-term big contract. He may stay in the Celtics very much, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 blocks this season.
Adams
Aquaman was a free agent in the offseason. The news now is that 4-5 teams are interested in him. Adams' rebounding ability and high-quality pick-and-roll have made him favored by many teams. Adams is willing to do dirty and tiring work, and can also protect his teammates. Such a player will never be unemployed at any time. I think the Rockets will try to renew the contract and keep him. Adams averages 3.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game this season.
Reed
Reed has a player option in the offseason. Previously, US media revealed that the Timberwolves' top priority in the offseason is to renew Reed. Reed is one of the five best small centers in the active league, with top space ability, and certain ball-holding and killing ability. His defense and athletic ability are excellent. If he enters the free market, he will probably have many teams to snatch it. Reed averaged 14.2 points, 6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season.
Turner
Turner is a complete free agent in the offseason. It is estimated that this is the most ideal and most interested in the Lakers. Turner has excellent defensive ability, and does not occupy the ball on the offensive end. His ability to eat cake and space are top-notch, which is a very perfect puzzle. However, if you want to sign him, you will probably have to give him a long-term contract of over 20 million. Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2 blocks per game this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%.
Capela
This season, because the Hawks focused on cultivating Okonwu, Capela did not get much chance. He is one of the best centers in the active league. He has good franchise protection and can also make unlimited defense replacements. In the past few years, due to many injuries, everyone has ignored Capela's ability. This season, Capela averaged 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 blocks per game. He is a complete free agent in the offseason. Although Daluo has entered the end of his career and is now 37 years old, he can help the team. His franchise protection is top-notch, and his space ability and pick-and-roll screening quality are extremely high. However, his pace is too slow, so he will be targeted. He cannot be present for a long time. Although he cannot get a big contract, it is still not a big problem to have a mini middle class. Daluo averages 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 blocks per game this season.
