In this part of the 2023 NBA Draft according to YODA (short for Ye Olde Draft Analyzer), I'm looking at the centers.Previously, I wrote about first round guards, wings and forwards.To reiterate (for those not interested in clicking into one of the other articles), I think there are four meaningful NBA positions:


Guards - traditional point guards and shooting guards who don't have the size to play traditional small forward (think Bradley Beal, Monte Morris, Jordan Goodwin)
Wings - traditional SGs and SFs who don't have the skills/aptitude of a PG but aren't big enough to tussle with the big boys (think Corey Kispert, Will Barton)
Forwards - traditional PFs or SFs but aren't full-time centers (think Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, Rui Hachimura)
Centers - the big guys who patrol the paint and protect the rim but generally not quick enough to defend the perimeter or keep up with wings and guards (think Daniel Gafford, Kristaps Porzingis)


For the uninitiated, YODA is my stat-driven prospect evaluation system that uses only publicly available information.

That burning smell wafting in from the west (at least in the DC area) may have been from my homemade stat-based NBA draft analysis tool dubbed Ye Olde Draft Analyzer (YODA for short).I will neither confirm nor deny whether YODA is powered by Kyber Crystal.YODA operates under the theory that a prospect's on-court production is a reasonable way to assess how he applies his skills, size, athleticism, basketball IQ, etc. to competitive games.
