What was the major focus of Towns' recent workout?

"It was primarily a shooting workout and he completely shot the lights out. Those people who didn't see him in high school might not necessarily know he can shoot it like that from NBA range, given the fact that he only took eight threes at Kentucky. But he hit 71 of 100 NBA threes. We haven't released video of that workout yet, but it will be out soon. He did everything from mid-range jumpers to NBA threes, both on the move and with his feet set, and it just shows that he's going to be a dynamic player in the NBA, because not only has his back-to-the-basket game developed so much at Kentucky, but again he's going to really shock people with his ability to stretch the defense.

"He can be used as a trailing big man, and he's legitimately a pick-and-pop threat in the NBA. Everyone that comes to Kentucky, everyone knows that players make sacrifices. That was the first thing that he said to me when we were in the gym: 'Hey, Rodger, I can still shoot the ball.' He said it with a smile on his face, but just like a lot of these guys playing in Kentucky's system, sometimes there is stuff they just don't show because that's not what is best for the team. I think that speaks a lot about these guys' character when they go there, that they're willing to make those sacrifices for the betterment of the team to achieve these goals and possibly win a national title."

Issue would be if he gets to 7' or 7'1", if he grows into his body. If not could be a major flaw for him.
 
I hope that is hyperbole with the trade down now....

At least with the trading for Cousins, I can somewhat follow that logic, even though it's not on the table.

I was trying to find anyone who said this.. Please point me in sed direction.

And even if they were high on them, it'd be at best 5th on their board.

No way they put them in front of Towns / Okafor / Mudiay / Russell. And can't see them placing either ahead of Winslow (A more dynamic wing) or Cauley-Stein (one of the most Surefire Defensive prospects in a while).


Also Kristaps is a Stretch PF. Sooooo definitely wouldn't be someone they'd pick with a Top 5 pick.

On the other hand I think we can all agree that something needs to be done with the 27th & 34th pick. I think there we can find consensus.

1. 3-4 lottery guys / just outside the lottery went back to school and took out a bunch of late round depth.
2. Apparently guys who would be around in the late first have tested really well so far in measurements. Which has moved them to being picked ahead of 27.
3. Even a late teens pick would cost less than 27th + 34th
4. If we make 3 draft picks, we'll have to start cutting prospects / cheap talent to even sign 1 guy.


Whether we trade up to 22-23, or trade for an established role player with those picks. We can all agree can't stay at 27 & 34.

Joke... come on now.

You don't want Croatian Kobe? :lol:

I think he'd be a great fit in Miami or Detroit. Definitely gonna root for/watch this kid.

I mean the kid played professionally when he was 14.

He's 19 now.. i think the arrogance may just be out of sheer immaturity.

Just saying.

Yea I was really hoping Upshaw would keep falling. Looks like RHJ and Justin Anderson will be gone by the time we pick.

I wonder what R Kelly and the late picks could fetch.
