As the 2019-20 season begins to get underway, it is time for the annual NBA general manager survey where all 30 general managers give their thoughts on everything around the league. From championship predictions to the top teams in each conference to the best players at each position.

For Philadelphia 76ers fans, the center position is of interest as their team possesses an All-Star in Joel Embiid who is widely considered one of the best at his position. However, according to the general managers, he is not the best at the position. That honor belongs to fellow All-Star Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets.

Who is the best center in the NBA? 1. Nikola Jokic, Denver — 48% 2. Joel Embiid, Philadelphia — 28% 3. Anthony Davis, L.A. Lakers — 17%

Embiid averaged 27.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists compared to Jokic’s averages of 20.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists. Embiid is the better defender as he has been named to the All-Defensive Second Team in consecutive seasons, but Jokic has 32 career triple-doubles, including four in his first venture into the postseason.
