The 40 centers in the new NBA season! Jokic is the first in the league! Yang Hansen beats Aiton

On August 19, the well-known sports media The Athletic selected the 40 centers in the NBA season, with the top 10 being as follows: 1. Jokic; 2. Vinban Yama; 3. Embiid; 4. Davis; 5. Adebayo; 6. Towns; 7. Gobert; 8. Shinkyung; 9. Jaren Jackson Jr.; 10. Sabonis Jr.

11-20 are: 11, Evan Mobley; 12, Zubac; 13, Haltenstein; 14, Porzingis; 15, Homgren; 16, Jarrett Allen; 17, Myers Turner; 18, Gafford; 19, Vucevic; 20, Pelter. Both Thunder are in this range.

21-30 are: 21, Naz Reed; 22, Clarkston; 23, Jaylen Durham; 24, Bitaze; 25, Hansen Yang; 26, Mitchell Robinson; 27, Lefley; 28, Crael Weill; 29, Okonwu; 30, Aiton. It is worth mentioning that another Trail Blazers center, Klingen, missed the list.

31-40 are: 31, Greater Lopez; 32, Horford; 33, Mark Williams; 34, Drummond; 35, Kessler; 36, Zach Eddie; 37, Yves Missy; 38, Adams; 39, Looney; 40, Alex Sal. After reading the rankings, you can find that Yang Hansen is the only center in 2025 to be on the list.

Many Chinese fans called for not praising Yang Hansen, and the leader agreed very much. However, this list is not ranked by Chinese media, but by well-known American sports media. In fact, there are subjective factors in any ranking. The Athletic is more optimistic about Yang Hansen's development prospects next season. But objectively speaking, Klingen should still be the starting center of the Trail Blazers.

Jokic is the first in the league, so there should be no controversy. Adebayo is ranked higher than Downs, and Harten is ranked higher than Homgren, which is probably not recognized by many fans. Yang Hansen's ranking is higher than Ayton and Levley before playing in a regular season game, which is actually not reasonable. Who do you think is the ranking higher and who is the lower?
