Jahlil's post game is better aesthetically but whether or not it's more effective then Towns is up for debate but we already knew that would be the case. Towns was always more versatile so still no surprises there also let's be real, the 76ers got 1 maybe 2 functional NBA players on that team. Legit outside of Noel every player on the Twolves is better than anyone on the 76ers and Noel is still a WIP on offense.So that helps Towns look a lot better in situations he may not.

:ehh:

I disagree about the P&R comment though. Amare is the best EVER when it comes to catching and going straight up. Things like that don't just improve to an Amare level, we have hot seen anybody finish off the roll like Amare since he came in the league. Yall know Amare is, still my nikka:mjcry:

Amare had crazy hands, to......Only PF in the same ballpark is Chris Webber.

Before the knee injuries, Amare was about to revolutionize the PF position.

Pre knee injury Amare still has the nastiest first step I've ever seen on a PF

Fasho. Amare's first step was affected by the injury, but his hops were still :whew:. He actually banged more post surgery than pre surgery. He was not as quick with his first step off the pivot, bit still great.

That open court dunk on Tolliver was ridiclous

Only thing that really surprised me about Towns is the foul discipline so far. I thought this nicca would regularly foul out. Dude seems to be moving his feet well and not whackin(no mango) dudes for silly fouls like I thought he would.

And Sam Mitchell still benches him for 8-12 minutes per half :laff:.

I fell to sleep during yesterday game, but when I seen the box score said 31 minutes without foul trouble :snoop:

Nah. Not even close. Blake ain't got the hands to catch it that we'll and his jump is not as quick. Blake has banged on nikkas, but STAT had a dunk on a nikka head every night back tgen. Blake ain't been as consistent as STAT was as far as the roll and finish

that was the big thing that made me swing his way. He better defensively.

I also knew he had more offensive skills than he displayed at UK. The fear was how were they gonna keep dude in the paint because he was a perimeter player coming up. The Notre Dame game is what sealed it for me because UK needed baskets and he got them.

People shyt on Calipari, but he knows how to get big men to round out their games. It took one year too. Same with Anthony Davis.

Next year he'll probably help Thon be a top 5 pick.
