9. Chris Bosh

2012-13 Season Averages: 17 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.3 blkpg

Yes, his numbers are worse than Cousins’ and I can’t for the life of me understand how a 6′ 11″ player can average just 6.8 rebounds, but Chris Bosh is extremely important to the Miami Heat.

He is not a natural center and his skill set is undoubtedly more suited for the power forward position, but he has accepted the challenge to play at the 5-spot.

He is averaging a career-low in rebounds, but a career-high 54.4% in field goal percentage more than makes up for it. He is exceptional at spotting up and knocking down shots after Dwyane Wade or LeBron James penetrate. He has been especially great in pick and rolls, converting on 60% of his shot attempts when he rolls to the basket.

At the end of the day, Bosh is not a natural center, but he does provide a mismatch for many opponents at the position.
