Nice

[robert de niro]

[El Gato Negro]

I think he could hit 18 and 10, but he probably won't play enough minutes. Maybe 28 to 30. Physically he's got a ways to go.

I think in about 28 minutes a game, if he puts up 14 and 8, I'd call that season a success.


On the ****ing money. Towns is my boy, glad I got his autograph in Lexington before he became a star.

[Mawly-G]

Well deserved! Kid definitely surprised me with his level of play, and how consistent he was throughout the year. I had no idea this kid would turn out to be this good.

Minnesota has had the past two ROYs and are in a good place moving forward with Wiggins and KAT.

And you have been wrong about 10 former Kentucky players

[RoseCity07]

Good player. He hit the game winning shot against Portland and did it with ease. I think they got the best player in the draft.

[Velocirap31]

He and Anthony Davis are the new type of big man. Extremely skilled with small forward handling skills.

[DingDengDong]

Strange that they announce this after MVP.

But :applause:

[Marchesk]

He's good. Not great. But good.

[FireMcFailPlease]

Im relieved Minny's bad juju of never winning the #1 pick came last year...and not this year.

Towns as the prize will do just fine

8/29/15 on WCS:

Dude will put up Nerlens rookie stats, but with better FT%

WCS: 7pts, 5reb, 1blk, 22mpg, 65% FT
Nerlens: 10pts, 8reb, 2blk, 31mpg, 61% FT

6/12/15 predicting Okafor Stats:


16.3 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 1.3apg

49% from the field, 64% from the line

Jahlil put up 17.5ppg, 7.0rpg, 1.2apg, 50% from the field, 69% from the line.

On 3/11/15 speaking on KAT:

Duncan.

He's Tim Duncan.

Meanwhile you said KAT has a ceiling of Rasheed Wallace...

Rasheed Wallace is his ceiling IMO

not that that aint great. but he aint no duncan

Come again?

Pretty damn good crop of rookies right there.

That's a very good year of rookies

He is closer to Sheed than Duncan if you ask me. Look how many wins the Wolves get?

I called him Sheed without the crazy, and thats a ****ing great player. Duncan is top4 all time

And you didnt hit on any of those other predictions? Why are you qouting them?

[Born Sinner]

Wonder what team he will win a title with because it sure as hell wont be the shitty wolves

[kurple]

Denver is the team of the futere

Similar to Sheed. Once he is traded or sign for a good organisation

a 12 win improvement?

Yea towns didn't have Admiral or a cast of veterans to ball with, so what?

LOL @ sheed. Maybe his face up game will mirror sheeds since he'll be a 3 pt threat...but his inside post move far exceed Sheed.

You're right...

I was 1.2 ppg, 1.6rpg, .1apg, 1% FG shooting, and 5% FT shooting off from getting 100% on how Jahlil Okafor would transition to the NBA game.

My bad.

And no, Wallace is garbo compared to Towns. I said a long time ago that maybe, just maybe, Towns ends up on a trash team and never wins anything. Look at Malone, it happens. But if he fell into Duncan's situation years ago, he's the same player.

[UK2K]

Also, to rub this in your face a bit more...

Per 36:
Nerlens
11.6ppg, 9.5rpg, 3.1bpg, 61% FT

WCS
11.8ppg, 9.0rpg, 1.7bpg, 65% FT

I'm pretty sure I said they'd have similar stats, but WCS would shoot free throws better. That's what I said, isn't it?

WCS only played 22mpg, but over a per36 stretch, they're on the ****ing money. Tell me again how I didn't hit that prediction?

Bow down.

[lilteapot]

He's good. Not great. But good.
No, he is great.

[Cap'n Obvious]

KAT was the obvious choice.

Did you watch Sheed before he was traded to Detroit?

First of all. Lol at per36.. Jokic > Towns if you can just adjust to per36

Also you didnt say anything about per36 in your predictions...

And literallly everyone who watched college ball last year knew Okafor's stats would be in that ballpark..

[DingDengDong]

I think Towns will be better than Sheed within 5 feet of the rim.

[UK2K]

First of all. Lol at per36.. Jokic > Towns if you can just adjust to per36

WTF? I am comparing their stats by having both rookies (who can play varied minutes) be on the court at the same time. Like that's blasphemy or some shit?


Also you didnt say anything about per36 in your predictions...
I also didn't know Nerlens would play 32mpg or WCS would play 22mpg as a rookie either, so there's that...

Ok, want Wiggins predictions?

Still holding true... impressive scoring on terrible shooting splits, and he still doesn't pass the ball.

I watch a whole lot more college ball then I do NBA. Outside of Randle (who was hurt his rookie season), I believe I've done a pretty good job of coming up with draft predictions and foreseeing rookie stats.

:cheers:

[AirBonner]

So when does this translate into wins?

Shouldn't that be part of an prediction? You should know that Karl don't trust rookies and know his history with Koufos in Denver, before making that prediction

[Kiddlovesnets]

Towns is the UROY, congratulations.

[UK2K]

Just say 'good guess' and move on. That's all you've got going for you at this point.

Karl-Anthony Towns stands out as the most efficient offensive ROY winner this decade, by a comfortable margin.

If Thibodeau can't get them to contend for the 8th seed at least I'm going to be shocked, he's got so much talent at his disposal right now and the powers in the west are starting to shake up.

Memphis should miss the playoffs if Marc isn't 100% and Conley leaves.

Houston is screwed once Dwight departs.

Can Portland get lucky again?

Dallas is withering away.

It's going down!
