Karl Anthony Towns is just a shot blocking Enes Kanter with more range

[Trot LaRoc]

A center who is ass on defense is virtually useless in the postseason even if he is as good offensively as Towns. Dude is just the most unaware clueless dudes defensively besides Weedplate and Doug McWhiteboy

Yes analytics guys do love him tf. GM's polled him on who they would want to start a team with. Karl Towns won.

Yes they do love him. Dude is bout to get a max contract.

How can you say "analytics guys love him" and then name a bunch of evidence that LOTS of guys love him? You said analytics guys, not NBA GMs.

PER is analytics you idiot. It was designed by the analytic guru Hollinger you idiot

PER doesn't use a single bit of information that wasn't already in the box score in 1978.

If you think that's what analytics is, stay dumb. Front offices ain't using PER to make their max contract signings, they are using play type analyses, shooting charts, player tracking, health analytics, etc. You're confusing an advance metric (which is just a new way of crunching old numbers) with what the analytics guys are actually doing. None of those analytics guys are wasting their time on PER, to them its just like ppg or triple-doubles, just something you name drop in an argument as a shortcut with people who don't understand the game anyway.

His stock ain’t been the same since that series against Houston. Before that y’all was bugging him up especially when Minny beats GSW and they couldn’t stop By KAT. But then he ran into Clint Caoela and all that noise got muted and now y’all done turned on him like Ja Rule
