Let's talk Rookie of Year KAT !

[Kingwillball]

This Kid is getting better and Stronger as the season progresses and is pulling away in Rookie of the year race. Averaging 24.5,12,3,2 over the last 4 games getting a bump in minutes shows the metrics of age 20 capability. He has been historically good for a rookie big and watching him play a lot this year he is so good its scary for such a young age. NO other big in the league has all the tools this kid possesses. His combination of Skill and athletisism will make him potentially the best Big man and a top 5 player in the league within the next 3 seasons. BTW he is also a great person on top of anything else. Really as complete a package as you can hope for on and off the court. I have seen him play since he was 14 years in NJ and its been fun seeing his progression over the years.

He was expected to have a tough transition. Okafor was supposed to be more NBA ready and the better player in year 1.

Now Okafor is in a worse situation than Towns but even in a vacuum Towns has been the better player.

great draft class for bigmen

The new Kevin Love in Minny. NB4 countless years of nice stats and zero playoff appearances

Not even Close he is a winner College and HS and is a player you can build around for years. Will be way better than Love ever was also.

Kevin love 11' 26/13 and 13'-14' 26/12 and no playoffs, towns can match but will not average better than that.

Not his fault ..

Lakers fans so salty they got stuck with this kid instead of getting a future HOFer in Towns..

[plowking]

The only thing I don't like about his game is that he doesn't go hard at times. He is such an athlete, and such a big body, that he needs to dunk more.

I think its a joke that Kristaps Porzingis get more pub than Towns.

Towns has better stats than any rookie across the board.

This is the best rookie year campaign since Lebron James.

Because Porz is shattering expectations and he is doing it with highlight plays. Go look at commentary around draft time. Many thought Porzingis might not even be able to play anything other than garbage time. Go look at Vegas odds at the start of the season on who would win rookie of the year and check how far down Porzingis was ranked.

Towns was the number 1 pick, is on a team that is still losing and is supposed to be far more NBA ready and is projected to be at least all-star level within a couple years. That being said he is still playing above what was expected but it's clearly not as big of a surprise.
