Karl-Anthony Towns Having Historic Rookie Season, Should Be In All-Star Game

[DetroitEWarren]

I haven't been watching him, but can Towns still play the 4 like he was projected to out of college?

Yeah. He is just as good at the 4 as he is at the 5. He plays the 4 when he is on the court with Pekovic and he dominates from the 4. That's the thing that makes him a once in a lifetime talent. He can DOMINATE back to basket, face up, roll, pop, running off screens on some rip shyt , rebounding, defending the paint, switching on perimeter players, ect. The nikka really has no weakness, and his game is entertaining as fukk.

He's the best rookie big I've ever seen. Not old enough to have seen rookie Shaq

He deserves kobes allstar spot

Fasho. I definitely feel what u are saying (though he is very rarely in foul trouble) and numbers wise the 3 u named had some of the goat rookie years. However, all 3 were much older, played much more minutes, and were #1 options from day . Towns gets 20-10-2-2-2 so damn easily its . He usually is at his season averages by the end of the 3rd. I'd think that he'd be close to Duncan and Shaq's rookie numbers if he played 38+mpg. On top of that, he has more all around skills than everybody u mentioned. He is a better shooter and face up player than all 3 were as a rook, just as good as Duncan defensively as a rook, and close to Duncan level with his back to the basket. Only Shaq is more athletic, and Towns runs the court better than all of them.

Dude is special breh . The Warriors have been so damn good this year that NOBODY on TV has talked about Towns dominance.

Early in the season (first 3 weeks) Towns was playing 30+mpg and they were winning. I'm pretty sure Sam got that call from management to cut the starters minutes and not win games smh. If they had of kept on the pace they started at, Towns would prob be the 2nd biggest NBA topic.

I think Porzingis is a fukkin beast, but he is so far behind Towns that a comparison right now is undeserved. There are casual fans that think Pirzingis is the better player . That should tell u something about NBA headlines smh

The bar was set low for Porzingis so everything he does positive will get amplified. Playing in New York doesn't hurt neither. As for Towns he was the number 1 pick for a reason. Last years draft was really about who could tank for number 1. Minny got lucky. I like Okafor and Towns but Towns has more in is repertoire at this point. And it doesn't hurt to have veterans like KG schooling him.

If he put up the same numbers with the Knicks it would be different story.

And after reminiscing off of these highlights, that's probably the one thing that's missing from Towns. Not enough dunks, not enough aggression. he's almost too humble.

He'll be a nightmare for teams playing small ball 5's in the future, athletic enough to hang with 4s defensively and too much for them to hang with in the post.


He's been basically playing the 4 since they started Dieng.

He's the best 19-20 year old big man I've seen, Duncan and Shaq wetre better but they were older as rookies.

Blake is his only competition in the last 15 years, and Karl is better defensively.

We talking about the same team that believes Rubio is a starting PG, not that hard to believe.



The Wolves need to get Dunn in the draft or make an offer on Conley, they should be competing for a playoff spot next year. Their talent is just

How much older was Shaq as a rookie?

Shaq was 20 and turned 21 during his rookie season, Karl just turned 20 in Nov.

He can even run the pick and roll
