KAT, Okafor, KP and Winslow have been the stars of the draft so far. A few other players have looked real good too. Mudiay has had some great games but a little inconsistent.

Has Winslow looked that good? I haven't heard much about him since the season statted. The other day, the sports Pope stated that Towns right now is ROY, but KP is around 2nd. Okafor is on such a bad team that barring unreal numbers he won't get it.
 
Okafor is garbahge

What can he do to improve? He has a great post game already. Maybe increase his speed and strength? I see him being close to his ceiling already. Plus he had that foot problem which is really bad for big men.

The thing that strikes me about KP is his demeanor. Dude carries himself like a vet at 20 years old. He's rare. Okafor isn't trash to me, but he def. has inflated stats due to a terrible team. He also doesn't seem to have much of a defensive impact. Luckily w/ us, the combination of KP & RoLo seems to be very troublesome for teams.
 
the youngin is a lowkey savage.
guaranteed he got in them guts after this interview.










Melo played like crap in Houston, but its all good cause...

That boy a savage for real. :lol:
Melo actually had a pretty solid game. He was in foul trouble most of it but managed to still shoot 50% while scoring 14. Gave other players chances to step up & they did. Games like these build character for a team. Seems like we're developing our identity.
 
Don't think it's fair to say Towns is better than KP at all or to say KP is better than him for that matter. All I'm saying is that KP's role is severely reduced on this team and varies from night to night. His game offensively is reminiscent of a 3/4 and defensively he's a 4/5. He's an extremely versatile big and legit 7 foot 2. Towns has showed that he's already a legit classic big man who defends and also has stellar post moves and a mid range game. KP has showed that his game is a hybrid of a bunch of different skill sets regardless of him being a ******* GIANT playing in NYC with an extremely polarizing star next to him and a dog **** head coach. I'm glad we got the freak who's ceiling is out of this world and if he reaches it won't be comparable to anyone.

Posted this in the NBA thread about the KP vs. KAT debate
 
Towns is the goods and so is KP. It's all good. I would welcome either one. KP has more potential though. Higher ceiling. We would be very lucky with either one.

I am sure phil would have gotten towns if we had the 1st pick but i wonder what would happen if he had the 2 or 3 pick
 
Someone else said it, I'm just too lazy to find the post, but it's crazy that it was almost a blessing in disguise to fall two spots to he 4th pick.

Classic 5's are a dying breed in today's NBA. I don't even know what the hell position KP plays but he's still productive both offensively and defensively. Going forward I think players would enjoy playing with him and I think he can adapt to any style of play and produce with whoever we bring in to play alongside him.

from everything i've read he'd take kp. he was trying to be low key about it and not tip his hand throughout the process.

i cant believe people are calling okafor the next td. how can you possibly forecast something like that on that team
 
Each game I watch ZDG play he does something small that just has me go wow. Last night in he almost chased James Harden down on a fast break. Almost ain't **** actually and JH scored but the rook is legit 7'3" and that's impressive imo. Season is fun so far :smokin
 
Just heard KAT has the same offensive potential and already is doing the same things KP is doing on the offensive. Remind to not venture in that thread anymore
 
^think I know which part you're talking about. Had me even more :wow: cuz it was at the end of the game and most bigs would be too winded to even chase, or winded after the fact.

 That chick was annoying as ****, hate those kind of chicks. Having said that, hope he smashed.

i haven't payed a ton of attention to KAT, but is he really head and shoulders above KP the way some people are saying. I heard consistency being used as a deciding factor. Has KP had any really bad games yet? Feel like he's been solid all season.
 
Kat is shooting 16% from three (why is he even taking those) great defender and great rebounder. He's a throwback center through and through. Really good defense and 10-15 foot jumpshot with above average athleticism but he is not someone who jumps off the screen when he's playing due to the fact he fits a certain mold (classic big man). The difference to me is that he cannot do the things zinger can do and won't be able to, ever. Largely in part because of KP's size, range, and lateral quickness. Porzingis doesn't have the post game Towns has because he simply isn't strong enough. I'll bet on Zinger getting stronger in the post before Towns wakes up one morning doing the otherworldly **** Zinger does right now.
 
put it this way Zinger probably will never be the force KAT is defensively and KAT probably will never be the perimeter threat Zinger could be
