It's not that I had the same thoughts, but it's definitely true that drafting a center comes with more concerns than other positions.
Good article. I think it is important to note that the primary reasons centers are not on the floor in playoffs is because of 1) the need to space the floor and, 2) the need to switch on pick and rolls. If you have someone who can feasibly accomplish those two things (Bamba and J3 being the most likely) then that makes them viable options for 30+ MPG in the playoffs. That being said, I still take Doncic or a healthy Porter over those two.
