TIER 2 · #3 OVERALLCore starter — #1 among centers

Jusuf Nurkic is ranked #1 among 12 eligible NBA centers. A dependable weekly starter you draft with confidence. His final five games came in 3.7 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (26.2/game vs 26.4 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.

#2Projected rank

140.7ADP (ESPN drafts)

We rank him #2 versus an ADP of 140.7 — the market drafts him 153 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: stable workload (26.4 minutes/gm), a late-season decline in per-minute production.
