A lot of shooters had better looking shots than Reggie Miller but Miller's was more effective than most and Towns is similar. People get hung up on KP size but it's a blessing and a curse. It may prevent him from being a great defender because he can notsink his base which is why he gets blown by on close outs so much.

KP has a lot of work to do and until he gets stronger(not necessarily bigger) he will have a hard time taking advantage of his size because players can push him off his spots and he struggles in traffic at the rim. He was suppose to work out with Dirk this summer but they couldn't hook up hopefully he will work out with Dirk and his coach going forward to help him refine his skills. KP has so much potential in so many areas that it may be hard for him to develop everything at once. He needs to take it slow and add one or two thinks each summer. Look at how Blake Griffin kept developing year after year adding a little more each year. He went from a finisher to someone who can run the break. A one lob machine to a mid range dynamo. On top of all that he became a high post playmaker. Hopefully Noah can teach him that and if Rose can return to avg of status it would help as teams rotate to give help on Rose off a PnR it leave KP free to shoot or attack the 4 on 3 opportunities similar to how Draymond, Blake, Plumlee, and best of all Noah does.

Also, KP is probably even behind Jokic offensively and who knows what kind of years Turner and Embiid out up. KP can't test on his laurals or he could get left behind.

Blind.

Agree blind . KP is turning into a super star effecting the outcome of games until I see that from towns, KP has the edge . I watch a lot of t wolves games and KAT Has invisible stats like wow KAT had 21 points and 9 boards and they lost by 20... KP is putting up those numbers and winning games also being a dominant force to end games ... towns is not there yet .

The only gap as of right now is physical maturity, however Kristaps is showing ways to score with his height and this will continue and can be seen right now through the jump he is taking. Do I think Towns should have won Rookie of the Year? Yes. Do I think he deserved it unanimously? Nope.

This is a very impressive stat to think about as well, I really believe Kristaps deserved more recognition at Roy voting for that record alone.

look up the stats if you'd like.
