The nikka does act :wrist: as hell though :sadcam:. Its more the way he talks than his mannerisms though, so hopefully I can still be a fan lol.

just give it time....he is in minni so the noise isn't loud. Lets see how the coli feels post all star break when is PER is too high for them. That "Karl-Faggy Towns" should come right around then

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
Boogie can handle the ball unlike any big in the league, hits J's as well as Towns if not better, and a better post up player. He doesn't get off the ground either, which makes it even more impressive. That said, KAT will eventually become a better player I agree, KAT is multiple championships waiting to happen, can't say the same about Boogie.

KAT will eventually have to become a much more dominant inside presence and play nearly exclusively at the rim before he can reach his full potential, even though he's versatile, I don't think anyone will be able to stop him there as he become a better post player. AD might need to make that transition from PnR all-around big to more of a inside big too because of how his team is constructed. This new era of PnR faceup bigs is fun to watch because you got bigs out here doing a little bit of everything, but in order to win with that kind of playstyle you need a better team around you. When you can just dominate in the post or inside in general then as long as you have a team that can shoot you can win 50+ games annually.
Props for the comment about Boogie's handle, that nikka will pull off iso dribbles and get to the rack, he now def has Towns beat off the dribble to drive. Towns is much quicker though and he really does not need to play with the ball, nikka is gone off of 1 dribble :whew:.

His jumper is not as good as Towns though, Towns takes a lot of mid range bumpers and shoots almost 15% higher from the field. Tbh, Boogie's jumper is not consistent at all and he is usually cold from there; 3pt or mid range.

Their back to basket games are very close. Boogie has more moves and uses his body better, but Towns has a better touch and can finish with either hand with ease.

Now that Sam is playing him 30+minutes, he has completely controlled the last few games. Dude would probably be a 23-12 nikka if he was on the 6ers or some shyt. It's been a long time since a 5 was this good as a rook. That nikka could be the best 5 in the league by next season if he continues to improve. He has no weakness and makes the game look easy. His future is bright as hell

Cousins is offensively the most skilled big in the league. KAT is better on D though. I've always said he's like a AD that plays closer to the rim usually. Though before he can become elite though he'll have to do it with incredible volume and efficiency as he grows. If he and Wiggins have enough chemistry Minnesota can be OKC-like.
Speaking of OKC-like, Scott Brooks wouldn't be a bad coach for them. Pretty great at developing players.

I'm far from a stan but Lebron doesn't get enough credit for the chemistry he created in this team



Last year I was skeptical on the way Lebron was running the team... I remember during their iffy start last year Love said he was never a social guy, and Bron called him out on it. Obviously winning has a lot to do with it but I enjoy seeing players lookin like they're actually havin fun on the court

It almost makes me like the cavs

Almost :lolbron:

If y'all know anything bout my b ball knowlege, y'all know individual skliis is what I pay the most attention to.

KAT IS EASILY THE MOST SKILLED BIG IN THE LEAGUE RIGHT NOW. It's not even a debate anymore fam, there is no one on that young nikkas level. This ain't no prisoner of the moment type shyt, THAT nikka CAN LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING WITH EASE.

This nikka can hook with either hand, has great touch, the fastest big facing up (nikka blows past nikkas with ease off the 1st step) great back to basket skills, can fade away over either shoulder, can roll and pop off the pick, can spot up, can run the floor on the break, can push the break, ect. And the shyt that's unheard of................ THE nikka IS AUTOMATIC FROM 15-18 FEET COMING OFF SCREENS ON SOME RIP HAMILTON shyt. THIS nikka IS A CENTER BREH:mindblown:.

He is one of the best rookies I have EVER seen. Keep in mind that he only plays 28mpg and is giving u 16-10-4-2-1 on 55%fg and 42%3pt. I have never seen a rookie 5 this complete. Not even 20-10 Duncan could do everything Towns is doing right now.

Long story short fam..................... WATCH THE nikka PLAY BEFORE CALLING ANOTHER POSTER OUT ABOUT THEIR OPINION ON A PLAYERS SKILL.

Towns has absolutely no weakness. shyt is amazing.


You are going a Little overboard but he is incredibly impressive for a 20 year old
If he continues to shoot at this level and starts hitting 3s he is going to be a top 5 player by his 3rd season and arguably better than Davis

I would say Presti just did a pretty good job at drafting. :ld:

In this day and age I would say that it's pretty valuable to have a coach who believes in young players and works with them, but it's hard to give Brooks props because he pulled some shyt in OKC that I ain't gonna forget. :shaq2:
