I wouldn’t put too much stock in anyone being classified as a “forward” vs. a “center”. In today’s game, the term “center” almost has a stigma attached to it, so that it’s code for “big, slow, unskilled player”.

Sort of like when you were younger, and someone wanted to set you up on a blind date, and you’d hear “She has a great personality”. That, of course, was code for “She won’t win any beauty contests, even if she’s the only entrant”. And I say that as a guy who had “a great personality”.

No, for as revered as the Center was back in the days of Russell, Chamberlain, and Kareem, the Center is almost that derided now. So, nearly every big player with any skill whatsoever is now classified as a Forward.
