Jonathan Givony@DraftExpress 17m17 minutes ago Watching Karl Towns work out in a setting like this is an absolute joke. Doing some absolutely unreal things. Unbelievable how skilled he is Chad Ford@chadfordinsider 4m4 minutes ago Towns really stroking it from NBA 3. During one sequence shot 11-for-13 from beyond the arc ...
THIS right here is why I still favor Towns over Okafor. He's just so versatile. He can score on the block, he can score the 3 ball, and he is an elite level defender.
Reading all of this ^ makes me just more relaxed while we just sit and wait at #2. Okafor and Towns are both great prospects.
Jonathan Givony and Chad Ford are posting videos of Towns. I don't know how to post those videos on here...
double post...but dang, didn't know KAT had those type of handles. he really needs to learn to dunk with both hands and land on both feet though.
I've said this kind of sucks what they're (both so far) doing, comes off prima donna like. But they're our two potential prima donnas. Then, as Doc and others have noted, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Clubs, the crappy clubs tank to get top players. Now top 2 players are leveraging right back at them, tanking on their own try to influence outcomes. We've never really been here before, this deep. 2 number 1 potential picks in same year doing it. You can bet Silver is freaking and the NBA is going to have to come up with a better lotto plan to control both teams and the players coming out. Of course the players can also play the see ya for the first year or ? and go to Europe or China. Then they give up something too while getting paid right out of the box ...... future all time statistics of their careers in the NBA, if that's their ultimate goal.
By the way, this better not be Towns workout; he still better have a private individual workout with the Lakers, IMO.
After watching that video... I'm even more convinced we're getting Okafor. No way Minny passes on Towns.
Damn! That doesn't suck either, watching what all Towns brings to the game, from D to some post game, handles, shooting, athleticism. Realdeal, you just have to send an email to DiFrancesco and let him know what you see. Your unsolicited 2 cents and phrase it that of course you know they see it too. Worst that can happen is you annoy him, but think if it prevented a major injury down the road. Fall on a grenade for LD ..... Joking aside (actually I am half serious), since he has had, as others have said, no injury problems yet with his knees, we have to assume these elite trainers on the Lakers staff are analyzing all these players as to what their physical needs are going to be in order to stay healthy in this league.
All the ranting and raving about this workout with regards to all 3 prospects -- KAT, WCS, and Russell means jack s*** to me. It was a pre-game shoot around. It's easy to show off your strengths (impressive as they may be) when your agents are running the workout. Showing what they want you to see. 1 on 0 drills. WEAK.
