if Towns can consistently hit the 3 it's a wrap
just gotta hope he doesn't fall in love with it

If he can shoot threes...then why would that disappoint you?
man if towns attempts any 3s next year with the shot clock being over 2 seconds, imma be real disappointed.
Towns was hitting 3's in HS/AAU.
I think it's crucial part of his development if he's going to hit his ceiling.
Andre Drummond was supposed to be an amazing passer in HS & AAU. John Henson was supposed to be Kevin Durant like in HS & AAU. MCW and Austin Rivers had reputations as shooters in HS and AAU. All that doesn't matter. Towson has a decent stroke.... he may be built like Sam Perkins, but can't shoot like him.
I see him as a poor mans Andrew Bynum.

uhh...
shooting is something that is easily observable, we can look at a players shooting form, and statistically it's been proven the college FT% is a great indicator of future 3P%.
The industry consensus on Towns shooting potential is not the same thing as...
Austin Rivers and John Henson who had poor free throw % and poor shooting mechanics. in high school and college.
Andre Drummond passing well in the disorganized nonsense that is most of HS basketball
I can't predict the future but the logic behind the evaluations of Towns future shooting percentage is rooted in both the eye test, statistical data, and plain old common sense. If you can't see that well then you may need to take up a new hobby...
It's an inexact science pointing out outliers isn't going to dissuade people from applying the same rubric for evaluating shooters that has been used since forever.
I'm staying with Marc Gasol as ceiling.
Bynum was a black hole, and a dominant low post scorer. Not sure Towns is going be a number 1 offensive option.

Kid won't come close to Marc...Marc is the best in the game at his position. This kid will never be as polished as Marc on defensive end.
Are we all sold on Justise's shooting? His three point shooting seems fairly rock solid (41% on nearly four 3PTA/40) , but his free throw woes give me pause. For the season, he only shot 64%, but his last 20 games he was at a tolerable 72%.
Edit:
Also forgot his position switch to PF in the middle of ACC play.
