A good piece on Towns vs Okafor.

The writer of the article also tweeted out Towns will be one of the top 5-6 players in the NBA in 2020.

High praise.

LINK.
 
Good write up on Towns, but this quote was lazy:

"...spends a lot of time on the floor without playing next to a single three-point shooter defenses have to respect..."

The writer is going by the percentages, but suggesting that defenses don't respect Aaron Harrison's shooting is asinine.
 
Thanks...you can clearly tell from the article the writer prefers Towns, but I highly doubt GMs will take Towns over Okafor. I would be psyched if the Knicks took Towns next summer.
 
Thats a great article. Towns kind of baffles me with some of the shots he is missing down low. I just think Okafor is much more NBA ready, but I think it's obvious that a team like the 76ers does not care about that. They make take him and get rid of Noel.
 
Okafor has a better chicken wing. (hook). It's his go to move.

Towns will be a great player, but he still has a long way to go. His post moves leave a lot to be desired and needs to finish better on the block. I think he also needs to be more assertive when he's on the floor.
 
Okafor is way ahead of Towns at the moment offensively. Okafor can post, but he can also dribble drive with a lot of speed especially from right outside the baseline. Okafor can dominate the ball and out physical other teams interior.

Towns looked ahead of Okafor in the Bahamas but seems to have fallen in love with the half hook almost throwing it up to the basket rather than creating contact. By using that half hook he does not draw fouls and can't grab a missed shot because he is moving his body away from the basket. Towns is, however, excellent on a break and has great footwork. It is O.K to use that hook shot on an occasion but he needs to be way more aggressive with his body to the basket. Cal has talked about this in general for the team when they find an opponent who is physical.

In the Ole Miss game 6' 9' Sebastian Saiz blocked or influenced several shots and although we eventually fouled him out at the end, he should not have been impacting as much as he did against guys like Johnson and Towns.

Towns is also a full year younger than Okafor. He is not as used to his body and I think next year we will see a completely different player, whether he declares for the draft or decides to come back (which I think it a possibility). Towns has a better perimeter game than Okafor as well.

In the Ole Miss game 6' 9' Sebastian Saiz blocked or influenced several shots and although we eventually fouled him out at the end, he should not have been impacting as much as he did against guys like Johnson and Towns.
I don't mind the baby hook it's a great move to have in the arsenal, he just needs to make it more consistently over both shoulders. The one he made with his left hand early in the game was a great move.

But I agree about contact, especially when he makes his move and turns back toward the baseline, he needs to attack the rim through the chest of the defender. If you've seen Duke play, it's something Okafor does very well, just bullying his way to the rim.

Towns will get there, he's shown a great attitude and work ethic. I think he just played too much on the perimeter in high school, which certainly helped him in some aspects, but hindered his post play.

Towns is also a full year younger than Okafor. He is not as used to his body and I think next year we will see a completely different player, whether he declares for the draft or decides to come back (which I think it a possibility). Towns has a better perimeter game than Okafor as well.
You may be right about your assessment of Towns being a much different player next year than what we have been seeing this season but I don't agree there is much chance of him coming back. He has been projected by everyone to be a top 3 pick in the draft and I say he is gone for sure. Even Cal would make him go with projections that high.

Cousins was/is pretty good with the hook as well. It's all about how you use it and how fast you are.

Towns is just very raw right now. Okafor is more NBA ready and it's not even close. If the light goes off in Towns head, look out. I'm just afraid that won't happen till he's on a NBA roster but you never know. I remember when the light went off for Cousins about this time of the season his freshman year so it could happen for Towns this year. If it does, it's a scary thought for opponents.

I remember when all those NBA scouts were here to watch the team for a few days this year and the talk was that Towns was so far ahead of everyone else on the team and the scouts seemed to be drooling over him. We haven't seen that Towns yet this season but if that light, as you say, goes off it could be something else and a whole other level for this team to rise to. Hope we see that light go off soon.

Bite your tongue. I know you're a Knicks fan, but why would you ever wish that on a Kentucky player?

Thankfully, there's almost zero chance the Knicks don't enter the lottery with the highest chance and almost zero chance Jahlil doesn't go #1.

Even though they're horrible and have been inept in the front office for a very long time, thats still a huge market. Just imagine if Karl was drafted by the Knicks and they turned everything around? He'd be a mega star. He has the perfect personality for a market like New York.

Thats a great article. Towns kind of baffles me with some of the shots he is missing down low. I just think Okafor is much more NBA ready, but I think it's obvious that a team like the 76ers does not care about that. They make take him and get rid of Noel.
He isn't yet a low post player .IF he was up to Towns he would prefer to hang around the foul line or 3 pt line or run up and down the floor but Cal knows he must learn to post up and play down low and Towns is learning . Once he gets that hook down he will be better then Okafor IMO as he already has the shooting and passing down better.

Thanks for the contribution to the thread. I have absolutely no idea what your post is in reference to. But thank you for contributing nonetheless. We were all interested in the Kansas fans opinion on... well whatever that was.
 
i think the word raw is incorrect.

Towns is much better shooter than Okafor, so if he is so raw how could this be the case?

Towns is less skilled in post moves, because he is more developed in the perimeter game.

I do agree with what the author is saying. Towns create more spacing, but he hasn't shown as much of that this year (and it hasn't truly ignited the NBA world with his outside game). The key here is for him to do so the rest of the way. Knocking down long range shot every game will go a long way for him to move up in draft picks.

He also has done couple things that's impressed me, which is his ability to block is much higher than i expected.

I was also surprised his rebounding was much stronger than what i expected.

Bite your tongue. I know you're a Knicks fan, but why would you ever wish that on a Kentucky player?

Thankfully, there's almost zero chance the Knicks don't enter the lottery with the highest chance and almost zero chance Jahlil doesn't go #1.
Even though they're horrible and have been inept in the front office for a very long time, thats still a huge market. Just imagine if Karl was drafted by the Knicks and they turned everything around? He'd be a mega star. He has the perfect personality for a market like New York.
Two words; Phil Jackson. Don't discount greatness.
 
The one thing that has impressed me the most about towns to this point is his strength. My god he must have packed on 20 lbs of muscle since the spring. His shoulders are huge now days.
He's not on okafors level just yet. You guys have to know this...
Okafor shoots the ball pretty darn good aswell. He is quicker in the post too
 
Okafor is so far ahead of Towns that it shouldn't even be in discussion at this point. Towns is not doing much to stand out and show his talents. KAT may end up the better NBA player some day but he has much to learn and prove.

Okafor is a very good passer. Also I'm not sure what you mean when you say Towns is a better shooter. While most of Okafor's shots are close to the basket he does shoot from 10-12 feet as well and maintains a FG% of almost 70%. Towns' is more than 15% lower than that while only taking six three pointers on the year.

Simple...it'll be great to see the kid play all the time and I won't feel so bad about paying the prices Knicks tickets still go for. Sickening.
 
You are correct. Towns is far from "raw." He a 6-11 guy who can shoot on the perimeter and has a nice little baby hook. He is more finesse oriented and Okafor is energy. Towns reminds me of Sam Perkins in looks and game.

The key for his career will be his toughness. Will he be willing to mix it up inside? If he can get a little mean (because he is extremely bright already) he could be a great one. That will be the tipping point between having a good career and a great career.
 
Towns may not be Marcus Lee level raw, but he's raw. Towns has flashed the full package, he just lacks polish in every aspect.

The shooting has not been attempted in much volume.

His post game needs a ton of work. He's shown us the array of moves in his arsenal with the over the should hookers, up and under and the Kareem-esque sky hook, he just hasn't mastered any of those moves yet. He really hasn't built much confidence in any of his moves.

I believe his passing is the best part of his game atm. Wish we ran more offense thru him.

He definitely has #1 pick talent, it just going to take time.
 
IMO, Okafor is simply the better player, and its just much easier to take him with the pick because you cant really go wrong with him. As a side note, there were some plays in the game against ole miss where towns simply did not even try to rebound the ball. What is up with that?
 
Towns is bigtime!..not saying Okafor won't be a good pro, but Towns will be on a different level. people talk about how great Harrell at UL is, but Towns is two inches taller , better defender, as good if not better rebounder and oh by the way has what Harrell can only dream of...'a jumpshot'. Towns should easily be the number one pick.
 
Okafor is a complete beast, don't see how he's number 1. I love Towns but he's on another level IMO. I'd be really interested to see Okafor vs. WCS to be honest, curious to see if Okafor would abuse him like I've seen him do with other big men with WCS speed.
 
Just haven't been as impressed with Towns as some of you are. i think he ends up like Tim Duncan but needs several years to get there. Duncan was at Wake for 4 years. Towns should stay and be Anthony Davis good next year.
