Center
Warriors: Andrew Bogut, Jermaine O’Neal, Festus Ezeli
Heat: Chris Bosh, Chris Andersen, Greg Oden
Chris Bosh seems to be more of a power forward rather than a center, but he does play the center position for the miami heat. He also tends to take the back seat to LeBron and Wade, but Bosh is still one of the better players in the league.
Andrew Bogut is definitely more of a traditional center, but his injury history keeps him from ranking as one of the best in the league. Bogut is a great rebounder and defender, but his offense has taken a dive in recent seasons.
Both Bosh and Bogut player smaller roles on their respective teams, but they both also have bigger impacts than people realize. Bosh is the better player of the two simply because he could carry more of a load if the Heat needed him to.
Bosh carried more of a load while he was in Toronto, but Bogut was never able to carry a similar load. Bosh has been healthier and more consistent over the course of his career.
