I hope they don't kill him. If I was him, I would limit the amount that I expose myself to the media.

IDK, shades of you and Melo.

I buy nothing for that kid. If anything, him and his cornball dad should give me their tickets to the next draft.

I put that level of self absorption squarely on his father. I feel sorry for the kid because he doesn't know any better.

your point as well as KP being a 7 foot 3 latvian who speaks perfect english and who is really funny and witty.

KP is unique, Towns is excellent but not unique (like KP).

KP is right up there with the talent of Anthony davis their rising super stars. Hopefully KP is more sturdy then davis

that is a real stretch. Of course he will get better.

Would be fun.

DiPietro feels they already got their 15 minutes of fame...does not want to give them any more attention.

Probably true.

At this moment, if I'm objective, I would give it to Towns.

We still don't know how things will look by the end of the year, though, and Porzingis has been slower to get into his stride this year than Towns.

Also have to add that I love KP...his story and his personality, but Towns is a character who also would have captured the NY media.

I've seen a number of T-Wolves games, and he's been pretty special so far, and like KP, he's a great kid who seems to get it. Had a great dad, too, who really helped him develop.

My philosophy is to enjoy KP up close, and admire Towns from afar.

Happy with what we got though, and might not trade him for any other rookie at this point.

Also don't feel that the attention he's getting will hurt him. He has enough grounding- family, Fisher, and Phil, to keep him real. I think Anthony, Sasha, and even Lopez, will keep him on an even keel.
