Because, as has been noted, the pure scarcity associated with the position.
Cam Robinson will get roughly what Taylor got. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less -- unlikely different enough to be notable either way. And he'll be, essentially, Taylor.
OTs are just absurdly expensive and even finding an average one in FA costs a small fortune. Finding an average C? Pft - just teach a guard to snap.
It's just a much much much easier position to fill at a representative level.

I can see the argument. Mine is really just that overpaying for mediocrity anywhere is just as much a roster killer as over-valuing a position like C, because it reduces the margin for error elsewhere. It's probably also just my frustration with Taylor.
