Guys who might have or probably did play center

I looked at guys who BR assigned C and C-PF and then and sum with PF-C as well for last season and 5 yrs ago.
For the first group who most probably played some center, the total count only fell by one to 61. The number who played over 2000 minutes went up by one to 14, over 1200 minutes up by 4 to 28, over 500 minutes up by 7 to 44. The number who were 7 foot or taller fell by 4 to 32. The number listed at 6'10 or less up 4 to 9.
Add in the PF-C assignees and the total is about a third more and fell to 79. Those over 2,000 and 1200 each fell by three while those over 500 minutes increased by 7.
Maybe there is a better way to analyze this. But not as much downward change as I thought I might find and surprising increases in the first group. I guess somebody is still going to get called a center or part center. Size shift is moderate so far. Very few below 6-10. Yet. Didn't look at total minutes trends. Maybe later.
