#7: Deandre Ayton, Phoenix Suns
Height: 7’1”
Position: Center
Bottom line: Ayton possesses all of the skills required for NBA big man prominence. He is one to keep an eye on!
Being the 2018 draft’s number one overall pick, Ayton excels at rebounding, has the admirable screen-setting capacity, a sweet-shooting touch and, of course, a large frame.
Ayton’s NBA career has commenced powerfully, and despite a single season not being the mark of a good career, the foreseeable future seems bright for the player.

#8: Marc Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies
Height: 7’11”
Position: Center
Bottom line: Pau Gasol’s brother, Marc, is just as capable as a big man. You may not believe it, but the two have never encountered any kind of sibling rivalry, on or off the court. When it comes to offense, Marc is most competent at passing. Gasol’s ability to locate cutters towards baskets greatly aids his team, his accuracy increasing with age, aggregating more than four assists with each game following the 2016 – 2017 season.
