Andre Drummond (2013-Present)

Is there a rebounder more gifted than Andre Drummond? Thus far, he has led the league in rebounds twice in his career. However, what makes him a truly elite player is that he has averaged 21.2 rebounds per 48 games in his career! This is the highest average in the NBA since 1973. At 6 feet and 11 inches, he has averaged a double-double. You will soon notice that this is pretty common among the power centers on our list. Since 2013, he has 13.9 ppg and 13.5 RPG. Another achievement of his is getting picked for the All-Star twice. He spent eight years in Detroit, but the team has only reached the playoffs once during that time. We hope that his talents won’t be wasted on the Cavaliers!

Jack Sikma (1978-1991)

We can see why some people call Jack Sikma the greatest center in the Hall of Fame. After all, Jack Sikma ruled the paint during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Seattle SuperSonics. The big blonde boasted an average of 15.6 ppg and 9.8 RPG during his career. He was a seven-time All-Star pick and had an NBA title to his name. He was a talented shooter who sank around 85 percent of the free throws he made. This made him even more lethal than most centers! He was pretty unbreakable, which is rare for someone that tall. He played at least 80 games in 10 during his 14-season career.
