Yeah, the NBA is getting more and more positionless every day. But positions still matter to some, and can be a good gauge for us on how similar prospects compare to one another. So to get ready for the NBA Draft, we'll be ranking the prospects at every position, point guard through center. Wednesday's entry is that center spot, which for my money is the best position in the event.

I saved the best for last. The center position is arguably the top position in the draft, just as we expected at the start of the season. 

The top two prospects in the draft, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jahlil Okafor, are centers, both of whom profile to become NBA All-Stars. But even behind them, three other centers are in the top 13 of my final rankings, making this a really good chance for lottery-level teams to fill holes in the middle. 

Looking past those guys even, the stories that this draft will tell in the middle are rather incredible. What to make of Robert Upshaw, the lottery talent that has been kicked off of two collegiate teams and was diagnosed with a heart condition at the combine? How about the big group of international centers like Willy Hernangomez, Mam Jaiteh, Arturas Gudaitis and Nikola Milutinov, all of whom could go anywhere from the late first round to the end of the draft? This is the best position in the draft, for my money, when accounting for both the talent at the top as well as the depth stretching into the second round. 

Without further ado, here are the top 10 centers in the 2015 NBA Draft.

1. Karl-Anthony Towns, 19 years old, Kentucky (Overall: No. 1)

Towns is the No. 1 prospect because he’s the most versatile one with the fewest weaknesses. Need a guy who can score in the post? Towns can do it. What about someone who can step away from the hoop in the pick-and-roll and knock down an 18-footer? Despite not getting a chance to do that this season, Towns has terrific potential there. A guy to protect the rim and block shots on the other end? He averaged 4.3 blocks per 40 minutes. Basically, Towns is the modern NBA’s dream big man prospect, and has a very high ceiling.

Draft Range: No. 1 to No. 2

2. Jahlil Okafor, 19 years old, Duke (Overall: No. 2)

Okafor is likely the best post scorer to enter the NBA Draft in the past decade. He has a vast array of polished moves that make him virtually unstoppable on the block, as well as the length to finish over defenses. However, he’s a flawed prospect. His defense this season was questionable as Duke had him avoid fouls at all cost, and his ability to move on the perimeter is questionable. Still, he is an elite talent that will likely be an NBA all-star someday.

Draft RangeL No. 2 to No. 4

3. Willie Cauley-Stein, 21 years old, Kentucky (Overall: No. 8)

With Cauley-Stein, it's all about defense. The Kentucky center was the best defensive player in the NCAA in 2015, capable of both locking down the paint as well as moving onto the perimeter to slow down opposing guards. The offense is still a work in progress, but with his high level of athleticism he should be able to find a role. Cauley-Stein may never be a star in the traditional sense, but he's the kind of guy every team would love to have as a defensive anchor potentially for the next decade, even with the reported minor ankle issues that have apparently slightly hurt his stock around the league. 

Draft Range: No. 4 to No. 12

4. Myles Turner, 19 years old, Texas (Overall: No. 10)

Another player that profiles as a perfect modern NBA big man, Turner has the size, shot-blocking ability, and shooting skill that teams crave. He led the Big 12 in block percent at 12.3, and was in the top 10 of all of college basketball. Despite his 27 percent 3-point mark, his shooting mechanics are good and point to potential for development. There are questions regarding his athleticism, running mechanics, and potential for injury, but those concerns are pretty overblown at this point and he has looked much better since his season at Texas ended in those regards. 

Draft Range: No. 6 to No. 15

5. Frank Kaminsky, 22 years old, Wisconsin (Overall: No. 13)

The NCAA's national player of the year, Kaminsky is an intriguing prospect in the modern NBA. He's a skilled big man with the ability to step away and shoot, but that's not his only skill. He's terrific at attacking closeouts, and he's also a strong passer with a decent post game. At 7-feet-1, he has great height, but his defensive fundamentals are questionable and he'll need to work hard to become passable on that end. Still, the whole package is very intriguing, and he should be picked highly.

Draft Range: No. 4 to No. 13

6. Robert Upshaw, 21 years old, Washington (Overall: No. 30)

Upshaw is a veritable lottery-level talent, and one of the best rim protectors to come around in a while. So given how much of a premium the league has placed on that skill, why is Upshaw so low? He's been kicked off of two teams in the last three years, and is generally a guy that front offices seem to be very wary of. Also, he was flagged at the combine with a heart condition (although he's been able to work out for teams since the diagnoses and play with it in college). His skill is undeniable, and he might be the most valuable defensive player in the draft if everything works out. He just needs to convince front offices of that, something that may not happen until later in the draft. 

Draft Range: No. 25 to undrafted

7. Guillermo Hernangomez, 20 years old, Sevilla (Overall: No. 31)

Hernangomez plays on the same team as potential lottery pick Kristaps Porzingis and produces quite similarly across the board as a big man, and actually outrebounds the Latvian. He's not the most athletic player, but he's a really heady, physical player who profiles well as a backup center that rebounds, has soft touch, and a developing face-up game. He doesn't have a super high upside, but he might be able to make an impact as a backup after being stashed for a couple of years.

Draft Range: No. 25 to No. 47

8. Nikola Milutinov, 20 years old, Partizan (Overall: No. 39)

Milutinov has been a starter on one of the better teams in the Adriatic League for the past three seasons. This year, he averaged nearly 10 points and 7.7 rebounds per game while posting strong efficiency marks. He needs to put on some weight and continue to develop his face-up game, but if things go right he could become a solid backup after being stashed for a couple of years.

Draft Range: No. 25 to No. 47

9. Arturas Gudaitis, 22 years old, Zalgiris (Overall: No. 40)

A power athlete at 6-10, Gudaitis is an interesting stash option for NBA teams looking to keep a roster spot open. He has a decent post game to go with a power face-up game and ugly shooting mechanics that often result in the ball going through the hoop. He also flashes decent potential as a defender around the rim, with good timing instincts when blocking shots. Basically, Gudaitis profiles as a nice potential backup center, which has a lot of value in the second round.

Draft Range: No. 26 to No. 50

10. Dakari Johnson, 19 years old, Kentucky (Overall: No. 45)

Johnson is one of the seven Kentucky Wildcats to declare for the draft, and he's the one who saw the least action this season. His role in the NBA would likely be about the same, as a limited-minute role player. But I have my questions as to whether or not he'll get there, as he's a largely below-the-rim guy who struggled to finish in college. The key for him will be getting into better shape. If he does that, he'll have a shot to stick.

Draft Range: No. 34 to No. 50
