NBA Free Agency 2025 Preview: Ranking the Best Centers Available

Having already ranked the best PGs, SGs, SFs and PFs set to hit the open market, let's wrap up this offseason series by highlighting the top 10 centers up for grabs:

1. Myles Turner / Indiana Pacers / Unrestricted:

Turner is the best FA center available this summer and the #1 priority for the Pacers, but it will cost them a pretty penny to bring him back to Indiana. Turner was the only player in the NBA to block 125+ shots and knock down 150+ three-pointers during the regular season. Then, he boosted his value even further by anchoring the backline of Indy's defense on their remarkable run to the NBA Finals. The small-market Pacers intimated they would be willing to pay a hefty luxury tax bill to retain Turner, but might they be hesitant to spend as much with Tyrese Haliburton set to miss the entire 2025-26 season due to a torn Achilles?

2. Naz Reid / Minnesota Timberwolves / Player Option:

After being named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2023-24, Reid once again put up awe-inspiring numbers off the Wolves' bench this past season. He averaged career-highs in points (14.2), rebounds (6.0), assists (2.3) and three-pointers (2.2) in 27.2 minutes per game. Reid has a $15 million team option, but plenty of teams would be willing to pay him starting-center money over multiple years if Minnesota is unwilling to pony up.
