Whats even more shocking? Today I found out he was a top 5 recruit in his high school class, state player of the year and also national high school player. And yet he's still so raw as a player. Doesnt help that he was a one and done too. But then again a lot of highly rated high school big men prospects can get by off their size and athleticism being so much better than other players at the prep/college level. But those players almost always lack basic fundamentals.

I can’t even begin to count the number of times someone has asked this, man.

He’s one of the best rim protectors in the league.
He can make an open three.
He’a a solid rebounder.
He can switch and defend in space when both his legs work (ie not currently).

Very solid player, just has mediocre hands and can’t dribble or pass.

Someone please explain KAT to me.

This dude is head and shoulders more talented on offense than any other knicks player out there. Yet he's only taken 11 shots. I dont get it.

But their offense is much better. Brunson doesn't look the same guy from before

There is 9 minutes left and it already feels like clutch time.

Knicks fans should be livid at Towns for his putrid defense. Terrible!
