Maybe it really would be in Jahill Okafor's best interest to move back to lets say 258- 260 from 273? I think it would help him immensely in terms of defense and rebounding. At 260 he would still be an over powering 4 but I think he would get more out of his game(with his 7-5 wingspan) if he had more mobility and explosion from being 15 pounds lighter

See, looking at OK4 I never think of him as being particularly overweight.

If we can get a top three pick in this draft I will be very happy!!!!!!

Melo-top scoring 3
High Pedigree rookie
Cap space for one max player and some good pieces!

Thats a nice start to a multi year rebuild. Hate we don't have our pick next year but If we took Russel and some how able to sigh Marc Gasol I'd be pretty excited.

Melo, Oka4 or Towns also gives us a great base too!!!!

Looking back 6 weeks ago here was my top 10

12/29/2014 11:06 AM

1 Jahill Okafor
2 Karl Towns
3 Emmanual Mudiay
4 Willie Stein
5 Frank Kaminsky
6 Deangelo Russell
7 Delon Wright
8 Stanley Johnson
9 Tyler Harvey
10 Christian Wood

6 weeks LATER

1a. Karl Towns C/PF
1b. Deangelo Russell PG/SG
1c. Jahill Okafor PF
---------------------
4. Bobby Portis PF
4b. Kristaps Porzingis PF
4c. Emmanuel Mudiay PG
4d. Christian Wood PF
-----------------------
8. Justice Winslow SF
8b Stanley Johnson SF
8c Kris Dunn PG
8d. Rakeem Christmas PF
---------------------------
12 Willie Stein C

Basically 7 of the same guys are still there 6 weeks later with addition so Portis Christmas and Winslow. I had Stanley Johnson #8 in both mocks.

RIP Crushalot😞

Boy how many 4 point 3 rebound games can Mylkes Turner have and stay a top 10 mock pick? At some point do you look at a Bobby Portis and realize he is also 6-11 245 but is actually a 20-10 player?

Towns has sat out the whole half since he has 2 within 1 minute. Really been missing him on the offensive and somewhat on the defensive end.

Kentucky's guards still don't know how to utilize Towns and get him involved

they are.

Kentucky is gonna get beat in the tourney.

Stein has impressed me far more than towns. He is so active and versatile.

Agreed, he is a turnover machine in the post but his defensive instincts will serve him very well in NBA

what I do like about towns is that he will not force shots to get himself going (like you know who). He will keep moving the ball.

he hasn't gotten the opportunities... it's been an ugly game but kentucky is way different with towns on the floor even when he's not getting his touches...

what i do like is towns is everywhere on defense contesting everything...
