Austin Carr from the Cavs broadcasting team would like to have a word with you.

he's tied for worst with them. Those 3 are the washed trilogy.

And you know Doc's scared *** would of fouled immediately being up 3. CJ forgetting some common knowledge. That better not happen again in the future.

I love it when the blazers lose

Stotts' dumb *** cost his team this game with that hissyfit. Lillard being outplayed by Chris Paul per usual. It's a but more difficult to beat the clippers when Chris Paul and Blake Griffin aren't out with injuries

 

[JD617]

Curious as to why freeze hates the Clippers so much? Who hurt you b

No one on here hates the Clippers. It's strange to me how everyone loves them.

Ima just go ahead and leave these here

Towns was hitting 3's in HS/AAU.

I think it's crucial part of his development if he's going to hit his ceiling.

Andre Drummond was supposed to be an amazing passer in HS & AAU. John Henson was supposed to be Kevin Durant like in HS & AAU. MCW and Austin Rivers had reputations as shooters in HS and AAU. All that doesn't matter. Towson has a decent stroke.... he may be built like Sam Perkins, but can't shoot like him.

I see him as a poor mans Andrew Bynum.

I stand by the taller Al Horford comp.

A better Andrew Bogut is my comparison for Towns.

l
uhh...

shooting is something that is easily observable, we can look at a players shooting form, and statistically it's been proven the college FT% is a great indicator of future 3P%.

The industry consensus on Towns shooting potential is not the same thing as...

Austin Rivers and John Henson who had poor free throw % and poor shooting mechanics. in high school and college.

Andre Drummond passing well in the disorganized nonsense that is most of HS basketball



I can't predict the future but the logic behind the evaluations of Towns future shooting percentage is rooted in both the eye test, statistical data, and plain old common sense. If you can't see that well then you may need to take up a new hobby...

It's an inexact science pointing out outliers isn't going to dissuade people from applying the same rubric for evaluating shooters that has been used since forever.

Never said he couldn't shoot. I'm sure he will develop a solid midrange game But you said you think he can be a 3pt shooter and it's a crucial part in reaching his ceiling. I'm saying he doesn't have it in him and not having a 3 ball won't affect his ceiling. Miss me with all your equations etc etc. I'm well aware of how shooting translates at all levels. Tony Alllen shot 42% on 2 or 3 attempts from 3 in college. Sure there are outliers. I just don't believe Towns is THAT good defensively or THAT good offensivley.

Al Horford is a best case scenario for him. I really like that comparison actually.

I'm staying with Marc Gasol as ceiling.

Bynum was a black hole, and a dominant low post scorer. Not sure Towns is going be a number 1 offensive option.

Kid won't come close to Marc...Marc is the best in the game at his position. This kid will never be as polished as Marc on defensive end.

Yeah I do not see Towns coming close to Marc. Horford I could see though.

I see Towns rocking Under Armour from head to toe in that pic posted

Towns will be more offensively advanced than Bogut
Towns COULD BE already a better passer than Horford and better moving with the ball/making a move with it to the rack
I've seen Towns make moves to the rack like he was almost a guard with the way he can handle it

I think Horford's game has changed over the years from bully to more pick and pop, is that a fair assessment?

I think Towns can and will be a bully and develop his pick and pop game as well, I just think Towns is much more defensive minded than Horford

^^^I was wrong on KAT.

I compared him to Horford and Bynum. Two ALL NBA centers/All stars.

He looks like he's going to be better than that. Excuse my measured approach .

I'm also on record for disliking KAT's forced persona. I acknowledge that played a part in my analysis on him. Shrugs .

I'm loving this summer jam screen thing we got going though. It really is interesting and funny to see what we typed in hindsight.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I don't even know most of these Nets players

That team is the NBA's gloryhole

I'm just messing with you but I do find your posts particularly comical because you said "Poor Man's Andrew Bynum" and Al Horford was a "best case scenario"

It's alll good man.

I watch a lot of HS ball....and I often see these guys early. Some trivial **** they do along the way, can either make me a fan....or jokingly dislike some of these dudes. Sometimes, that bleeds into how I see their ceilings.

See Julius Randle, D-Lo and his eyebrows, KAT etc.

I'm petty. (NORE on Drink Champs voice)

 

[P C H]

This has nothing to do with

That team is the NBA's gloryhole

Lmfao oh ma guad

 

[buc em]

Nobody would have imagined KAT's shooting and athleticism would be what it is today 4-5 years ago whenever we said those comments. I compared him to Horford, who at that time was probably considered a top 5 center in the league...it's not like I compared him to Kwame Brown.

 

[starboy]

More like 2 years ago. And many people "imagined" that.

 

[T0INE]

JD and DSK done started a movement.

Nah.

I really liked Towns but I never would have thought he would be THIS good especially this early in his career

Horford is a four time All-Star who just signed for $113 mill this summer so it's clear that most of us thought he would be a very good player besides my man saying he'd be a poor man's Bynum

 

[pmatic]

You skipped me comparing Towns to Marc Gasol and Rasheed Wallace.

 

[antidope]

. Time to just saying wildly positive things only.
