Is Karl-Anthony Towns a Top 10 NBA player after 2 seasons?

[Draje]

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.

You also said Wiggins is a better passer and playmaker than Giannis.

And yet if Towns were to go for 20+ in his next two games what would your excuse be then?

Towns is playing poorly. That’s true.
He’s not “exposed”. He’s young and needs to adapt. The skills are there. That hasn’t changed.

Relying on stats that you don't even know how they're calculated is the height of ignorance.

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.

Davis doesn't play with his back to the basket. He's a pick n roll and jump shooting big. That won't lead a team to a title.

Harden will be exposed later this year so I don't even need to bury him right now. His style is simply not conducive to championships.

Giannis needs a go to move offensively in the half court. He ain't like LeBron who can just put his head down and get a basket in the paint when he needs to. Plus he's not the savant passer LeBron is. The fact a Celtics team made up of all role players is about to beat him is the nail in the coffin for me.

And please don't mention that scrub Curry again. He was exposed in 2015 by Dellavadova. That should have ended all talk about him as a good player let alone #1 option. I can't take anyone who thinks that scrub is actually good seriously. Let alone great.

I don't think I said better. I'm pretty sure I was only defending against claims that Wiggins was a poor passer and playmaker. Unlike y'all I watch the games rather than just the box scores and I saw Wiggins pass the ball very well his first couple of years. This year he's barely handled the ball so it hasn't been there as much as it has in the past.

Nonetheless, Wiggins just has no heart or desire for the game. I'm done with him until he starts to actually try to play the game.

I wasn't able to watch the game tonight.

How did Towns look on the floor tonight?

Better than in Houston, but he wasn't the reason they won this game tonight.


Rose, Teague, Wiggins, and Butler played very well and they shot the three 58%
