“Karl Towns?”

So when you’re in the DR, you only get one first name, and you like it.

As a youngster he was known just as Karl Towns Jr. for much of his way up the ranks.

Still better than national NBA announcers STILL referring to him as Anthony-Towns, as if he had a hyphenated last name...

Just going off name recognition, that team is in trouble.

This is closer to the Rudy we thought we were getting. I definitely see additional spring in his step right now, it hasn't deteriorated due to age as some thought.

Good form, look better than his free throws. Hope he keep shooting it in FIBA and pre season. Add another dimension to his game next year.

I’m not buying that one bit. Can’t tell much from that clip.

A lot of few pass possessions.

U.S. will need to get their O flowing to beat some of the lesser talented, but more organized teams.

Good to see that Kessler is already 1,000 times better guarding on the perimeter than Gobert.

Whatever. 3 time DPoY and one of the greatest defenders of all time. I like Kessler a lot, but trying to act like he's a better defender is a load of crap.

Since Rudy arrived is all that should matter. I think that its true tat players fear Walker more than Rudy. Rudy just gets more defensive rebounds and scores a bit more.

If the “only thing that matters to you,” is how your ex-girlfriend compares to your wife, you’ll lead a pitiable life.
