Center

Another position that could prove interesting is the center position. Jusuf Nurkic has been the starting center for the Phoenix Suns and proven effective, averaging a double double of nearly 12 points and 10 rebounds per game. He provides Phoenix with a solid option to clean up the glass and a big body inside the paint.

However, if Phoenix decide to shake up the roster, Nurkic could provide the Suns with a decent return. If this is the case, Phoenix would either trade for an upgrade or some pieces around their superstars. The Suns could target a variety of big men, including Chicago's Andre Drummond and Philadelphia's Mo Bamba.

Nurkic will certainly hold up the starting role if he stays with the team, however if he is moved on the siutation could become interesting. If the Suns trade him for another positional player, we could see players such as Bol Bol or Keita Bates-Diop get the call up to be the starting center.
