Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
I don't like talking about what these dudes did in college victories because that gives guys like Kaminski/Dekker and the other historical great college players leeway but there productivity never translates to the league.


In Towns case, he went 1 on 1 in the post with an NBA athlete with size, that is something that can transfer over.

I've noticed that about him too. But I still want dude #1 overall. I learned my lesson, I was :patrice: about Brandon Roy when we had the chance to draft him for that same reason and look at how that turned out :facepalm:
Dominant at protecting that rim.

The thing with Towns is that he's not being asked to lead or carry the team. Rubio and Wiggins shoulder that burden. He just has to be a quick learner at UKG (University of Kevin Garnett)

He's gonna see the gym, see the city, get yelled at by KG and then hopefully tell him he's going #1


Are there any plans with 31/36 would you all sell one to the Clippers or Nets for 3 mill? Or is the value of those picks to high for 3 mill?

Exactly they have to fit into what the college coach wants and than in the workouts all they dude is athletic testing and shoot around so it's hard to get a gage on what they will do while in the league.

Like you said had me thinking Julius Randle was Z-Bo with a first step or that Thomas Robinson Was a can't miss prospect or that Tyrus Thomas was going to develope into an excellent pro.

Yo is it true KG was at JO and Russel's work out? Dude is really serious about that front office/ownership role I see :patrice:
KG is in on all this. FWIW, he's supposedly pro-Towns

They'd absolutely sell those picks if they could but they claim they wanna move up like everyone else.

I've heard a level-headed Rasheed Wallace as a comparison for him
There we go! Perfect I can see that.

KG gives this franchise so much more credibility its not even funny man. Almost every draft interview I saw these cats ALWAYS mentioned him talking about wanting to learn and play with dude. Its crazy, you would think Boston, and New Jersey never happened :wow:

Everyone has been questioning Okafor, but I still think there is more questions than answers with Towns. He had the most stacked and best team in college and couldn't win it all. Anthony Davis for instance had a stacked team and they won it all and was the unquestioned best player in college. He only played 20 mpg, he was really good on defense, but he had WCS with him who had been in Kentucky for years. He doesn't run the floor as smooth & fluid like Drummond, Deandre Jordan, Ibaka, etc. imo. When he played, did he ever have that moment in college like Anthony Davis or Andrew Wiggins that had you like, :ohhh: we are watching the a future superstar/number one pick"? JO was who most had as the number one pick in the draft for most of the season until the end of the year and leading up to the draft now. If you reversed the teams they were on with JO on Kentucky and KAT on Duke, the team with JO still wins imo.

What are yall going to do with that log jam in the Frontcourt

KG/Bennet/Payne/Towns/Bjeica/Dieng and the corpse of Peko that's a lot of roster spots dedicated to the 4/5.

AD had a better cast around him than Towns did and you could argue that if not for the Harrison Twins he wins a title too.

Wiggins was very inconsistent in college and was getting outshined by Embiid. Like I said during the season I compare it to Beasley and Rose
