Specialized site Hoops Hype created the list of 30 centers which they believe will mark the upcoming season in NBA league.

What is especially interesting is that Nikola Jokic is in the 5th place in the list, and only a few of them are in front of Nikola: Karl-Anthony Towns from Minnesota, French basketball player Rudy Gobert from Utah, Philadelphia Center Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis from Pelicans.

The Serbian basketball player is better placed than, for example, DeMarcus Cousins, Gasol brothers, Lithuanian Valanciunas, Enes Kanter, Vucevic, Dwight Howard and others.

Americans explain that Nikola showed a lot in a short period of time and he can be the future of Denver and the entire league, but he has to improve his defense, that is why he is not in the top three of the list.

To recall, Jokic recorded an average of 18.5 points in the previous season with 10.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists and signed a new five-year contract with Denver, which will bring him about $ 150 million.
