3. Andrew Bogut
The 7-foot Australian ranks among the top defensive centers in the league today despite his numerous battles with injuries.
Bogut is a force in the paint and arguably the best rim protector in the NBA alongside Rudy Gobert. Bogut held opponents to -14.8% from their normal percentage 6 feet outside the rim, according to NBA.com. He’s also been able to stay out of foul trouble, for the most part.
He always plays well against All-Star caliber centers and is one of the biggest reasons for the success of the Warriors last year.
