Los Angeles Lakers: Dwight Howard

Stats: 6.2 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 0.6 bpg

Despite the modern-day NBA game being considered extraordinarily softer and less physical, Anthony Davis has refused to park himself down low and bang against bigger players. As a result, the Los Angeles Lakers were forced to deal with a litany of players at the center position. Dwight Howard, surprisingly, logged the most starts in the middle.

In his heyday, Howard would not only be considered the best big man in the Pacific Division but the entire league. Now, at the age of 36 and running in fumes, Howard is a shell of his former great self. The lightning quick moves in the paint on offense, the second jump on defense to swat a shot out of there, and the ability to switch and cover multiple positions are gone and over with.

At this point, not only was Howard the worst starting center in the division but the worst in the entire league.
