Here's my rankings of the top Cs in the NBA this season. Again, this is largely based off of advanced metrics. What was evident throughout this ranking process - and becomes especially clear her at the C position, is that there are players who have great offensive numbers but poor defensive numbers and then players with great defensive numbers but not as good offensive numbers. Trying to find a balance between these 2 was quite challenging, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. For those wondering where Dwight Howard is on the list, if he had been healthy all season then he'd probably somewhere in the middle of the list.
