He will drain 18 footers all day in the NBA forcing those guys to go out and guard him clearing the paint for Melo & Monroe.

You haven't seen everything Towns is capable of yet in college where he towers over everyone and doesn't need to step outside the paint

Nope, He will be a PnR Big that will rim run most of the time but he will get more pick and pop opportunities. He'll probably get some pump n drives too if he shot is falling. He has a very good jumper.

KU clearly needs Towns. The idea that Towns and KU can afford to have him foul out is ludicrous. Towns is clearly KU's most important player.

As I type this 3 fouls for Towns now. KU in trouble

Your KUs are throwing me off because I think of Kansas University and not University of Kentucky. I am not trying to nit pick though.

UK whatever. faster than Kentucky

I was being a bit of a smart ass. He's got so much love on this board and I just wanted to needle you guys. But I still struggle to see this guy living up to the hype. Even defensively, I don't see him being the force people claim. With Stein out of the game, it's been a layup drill in this game. Granted, much of it is caused by ****ty perimeter D, I feel like he still should've been able to better contest those penetrations. Let's also not forget that Auguste is also abusing him.

Is that worth a top 3 pick with two dynamic players like Okafor and Russell available?
