Do you watch him play?

Like seriously how often have you watched him play an entire game?

I watched 60% of the T'Wolves games this season and this guy is the farthest thing from a top 10 player. He's good at getting stats so if you play fantasy basketball I guess he's good but in terms of winning basketball dude sucks.

The T'Wolves were garbage in large part because he plays zero defense and they employ an offense where he and Wiggins are force fed the ball. Also he fights teammates for rebounds and rarely passes the ball. You need to look beyond the assist numbers and look at actual passes. Dude is a black hole when he touches the ball.

Looks like I was right. Once again.

He should be soon. Will come with organizational stability and better effort on the defensive end. Kid is ridiculously talented.

:mjlol:

Do people even watch basketball anymore? The internet got nikkas thinking that because they look at stats and highlights that they know basketball.

Towns is not that talented. I been saying that for 3 years now. Its finally being exposed in the playoffs. He's an okay player. But nowhere close to top 10 or #1 option on a contender. Dude is at best a complimentary piece.

Kristaps and KAT are closer than people think.

Also, yall need to put some respect on Nikola Jokic's name.

:snoop: that fat cac is gonna be next up on that Summer Jam Screen if he ever makes it to the playoffs.

Dude is trash. I can't believe people actually think he's any good. Another by-product of nikkas not watching games and thinking box scores tell you who is good.

Because KAT is ungodly polished as an offensive scorer and he was polished as a rookie. He's probably more polished in a half-court then all of them.

Only transcendent talents are Embiid, Giannis, and Porzingis. I think healthy AD is too.

No. Its just Embiid. Giannis still can't score consistently from the half-court against a set defense. And Porzingis is coming off an ACL so who knows what he'll be coming back.

Embiid is the only true #1 option on a championship team in the NBA right now outside of LeBron and KD.

:dahell: 14 points in 2 playoff games.

Come on now? Even you can't defend that. Dude is trash. I said all he did was play for numbers in the regular season feasting on garbage teams and players. Now in the playoffs that's being exposed.
He’s a young player that needs to adapt. The skill set is there.

No question he is having bad games and these games matter more right now.

But it’s foolish to act like Towns has been exposed as some fraud because of 2 bad playoff games. Just like it would be foolish to call Kobe exposed over a 6-for-24 Game 7 performance.

dude is just a blend player to me. never really cared for his game. whether he's great or not. He's like a slightly more athletic Mark Gasol minus elite defense

In fact, I can say the same thing about Wiggins. Too blend of a player to have been regarded as the next big thing.

I watched Towns plays nearly every game his first 2 years in the league. And I was saying then, what I'm saying now. I'm not surprised he's getting exposed in the playoffs right now. I've been saying it would happen.

Davis, Embiid, Giannis, Curry, and Harden. I also think Simmons is a game changing talent too but I'm not an idiot who doesn't value playmaking, passing, decision making, and ability to impact the game even without scoring a bunch.

Giannis is a transcendent talent, he's just raw offensively. Lebron was transcendent and he wasn't a championship #1 till he hit his prime. Same with Kobe and Shaq.
