Al Horford (2007-2020)

When he is on the court alongside Joel Embiid, Al Horford won’t play center for the Philadelphia 76ers, but the 33-year-old veteran is listed in the position heading into the campaign. During the regular season, the Sixers did not sign Horford to get buckets. Philadelphia acquired him and his defensive prowess to face Giannis Antetokounmpo in the postseason and provide Embiid with cover when he is off the floor and/or when Embiid is sidelined.

Tristan Thompson (2011-2020)

Last season, multiple injury issues limited Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson to 43 games. If anything, his value moving forward will be what he gets the Cavs in a trade and what he means to a team in the 2020 playoffs. In 2018-19, he averaged 14.1 PPG and 13.2 REB per 36 minutes, career highs for the one-time champion, and he will need to repeat that production and stay healthy to assist in the reconstruction of Cleveland after what will be another terrible season.
