July 20, 201511 yr Saw this article this morning. Haven't followed summer league enough to know if this guy is grinding an axe, raising legit questions, or just much ado about nothing. What's wrong with Wolves' top pick Karl-Anthony Towns?
July 20, 201511 yr Haven't seen much, but he has apparently struggled with committing fouls. Sounds familiar...
July 20, 201511 yr What the hell is this guy talking about? :lol2: I think the foul issue will get worked out.
July 20, 201511 yr 31.2 MPG 12.8 PPG 7.8 REB 2 AST 1.8 BLK 39.6 FG% in summer league games if anyone was wondering. 5 Games...
July 20, 201511 yr 31.2 MPG 12.8 PPG 7.8 REB 2 AST 1.8 BLK 39.6 FG% in summer league games if anyone was wondering. 5 Games... Those are really good numbers. What in the world.
July 20, 201511 yr Those are really good numbers. What in the world. I wouldn't say really good but for his first NBA action it's nothing to get worried about. I watched a few of the games and he looked pretty good overall.
July 20, 201511 yr The only highlights I've seen of KAT this summer, he was balling in that particular game. If fouls are the only issue, this guy is looking for clicks.
July 20, 201511 yr I wouldn't say really good but for his first NBA action it's nothing to get worried about. I watched a few of the games and he looked pretty good overall. His FG% is below 40% because he is allowed to shoot it from 25 feet on in, correct?
July 20, 201511 yr I think I'll go with Grantland... Karl-Anthony Towns: The Underrated No. 1 Draft Pick « Karl-Anthony Towns: The Underrated No. 1 Draft Pick I arrived right as Towns was destroying some helpless D-Leaguer’s layup. Then it was halftime, and I had to stay out of respect for that block alone. By the fourth quarter, I’d seen him make a few of the passes I’d heard people raving about. He opened the final quarter with an easy hook shot, then drained a face-up jumper. Towns didn’t have a good game — he finished 4-of-11 with nine points and nine rebounds — but it didn’t matter. I’d seen everything I needed to see. Karl-Anthony Towns is going to be a monster in the NBA for the next 15 years. Reporters and fans may pay lip service to this idea, but we’ve been underselling it. Too many people talked about Towns like he was the “smart” pick for Minnesota, not the “holy poop" , why would you ever take anyone else?” pick.
July 20, 201511 yr His FG% is below 40% because he is allowed to shoot it from 25 feet on in, correct? Correct, from my understanding he was free to do whatever he wanted really.
July 20, 201511 yr Did I misread that article, or did the author state that he hasn't been effective because his butt isn't big enough?
July 20, 201511 yr Did I misread that article, or did the author state that he hasn't been effective because his butt isn't big enough? Ya know, when you have nothing to write and nothing to say, you start grabbing for things...
July 21, 201511 yr I think the thing that had stood out the most for KAT is his passing ability. Imagining throwing some of these passes from the high post to Wiggins and company is exciting. It's basically the same as the criticism of Russell . Neither are putting up eye popping numbers right now but if you watch the games you see how good they are and them getting more comfortable with each game.
