July 21, 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. I agree with his assessment. KAT is still learning his craft, not even close to mastering it yet. Give him 2-3 years in the league and he's likely an All Star.
