    agreed. Anthony Davis is really not that good. He puts up nice numbers but he cares more about jacking up terrible jumpers than fulfilling his apparent potential. Plus he's always injured and his play is not conducive to wins.

    I think Towns is the next great center in the NBA, along with Cousins. He's in the same class as Howard, Ewing, Yao, Zo, David Robinson, and Shaq.


    Porzingis, I feel will also be an all-star center at some point, maybe not in the next few seasons, but soon. He'll be a household name, especially in New York.

    Towns . Porzingis is going to be injury prone . I wish it weren't true , but guys his size 7'3" + just usually aren't cut out for long NBA careers . This is doubly true especially if they try and make him out on too much weight .

    His best best is to try and be a bigger KD who plays the 4 . Towns has skills and athletisicm on a more well rounded frame .

    they're both overall equal but i'd go with towns. old school big who can make his fts and eventually elite offensive game is too good to pass up.

    dirk with defense is automatic hof'er but as you know bigs that tall almost always have bad injury histories. i'd go with the safe pick and dying breed big man.

    Towns was picked first, Porzingis was picked 4th. That should give us an idea about what the GMs think

    Zing reminds me of a taller AK47.

    Is Towns already the best Center in the league? He literally has no weaknesses and is probably the most polished rookie since KD/Lebron.

    It's hard to say who has the higher ceiling because Porzingis could end up being a Dirk who can play defense. I'm still going with Towns to be safe.

    And LOL @ the Lakers and 76ers for not getting Porzingis.

    I think Cousins is still better, but after him I can't think of any clear-cut choice. Towns will be an all-timer.

    Blew me away when I found out Lundgren has an IQ of 160, a masters in Chemical Engineering and is a black belt ... life's not fair. :(

    AD looks like he hit a wall in terms of player growth.

    I honestly think Gentry has a lot to do with that.

    That and the fact that literally every major teammate he's had has a timeshare on the injured list. Davis isn't Mr. Unbreakable by any stretch of the imagination but when your supporting cast changes on a weekly basis (sometimes nightly basis) it doesn't help your game grow.

    Bowie was picked second and Jordan was picked third.... So you were saying?

    Both are amazing. I would pick towns. I would be afraid of injuries with porzingis

    Trade Wiggins for Porzingas and you have the potentially the best front court of all time.
