NOBODY is regretting drafting porzingis. He has a bright future in new york. However its ok to compliment Towns....he is a beast. I wanted towns all year but im happy with KP

Didn't you want OK4 and Russell before Towns?

exactly. Unfortunetly certain fans interpret that as being negative

You used the word regretting above. Nobody is saying anything about that. My thing is our guy is Kristaps and the kid can play and he fits with what we want to do. Towns is a Timberwolve... I'll admire him on draft kings. Knicks all day.

Has an all around game...can score inside or out, play some D, and he is physically ahead of most of this year's rookie crew.

Also intelligent and pretty down to earth as a person. No BS on the court, either. Pretty much like KP,actually.

Saw him out perform Monroe in his final pre-season game, and posted about it. Kid is just a solid all around player.

Glad they put him at the 5. I remember that some around here thought he should be a PF- that would have been a mistake, IMO.

Have watched 2 games just to see him play and evaluate him, and have not been disappointed so far.

Not unhappy with what we got, though. Kristaps was probably the most immature player in terms of physical maturity coming out of this draft, yet you already see him holding his own and looking amazingly fluid for a man his size.

Only going to get better.

Yup. Ridiculous stuff from the so called experts

Towns is a much stronger guy but he has a better 3 pt shot than kp and only shot 12 feet and in from the several views I watched. It's pretty simple too Karl towns can dominate the nba inside no one will stop it

Did I miss something? KP shot 36% from three in Europe last year. Towns shot 25 % in college. How can you say towns is a better 3 point shooter?

yeah ... a little stupid

Towns is averaging 21 pts, 13 rbs, 2 blocks! I'm happy to have Porzingis but man do I wish we had Towns.

We knew that was a slim chance of landing Towns and after the darned lottery it killed all hope of getting Towns. You could tell he had the most well rounded game and most suited to the NBA. For now Towns is well ahead of KP in his development but it will be interesting to see what KP becomes as he fills out and further develops his skills. I see a huge amount of upside with KP. After the disappointment of the lottery we made out GREAT IMO landing KP 😎

and who was with you on that from the beginning?

yes definitely increased my level of respect for you and your evaluation of talent that goes beyond what these college expects and so called draft guru's believe.

Those who think they know everything because they watched the player in college when in reality there are so many other factors needed in evaluating how their game will translate in the NBA. That is why you still heard the talking heads tooting OK4's horn as the best player and rookie of the year on draft night.
