Towns with the swat leads to the Stein alley. Nice sequence.

Towns with 2 fouls in the first half again, with 7 minutes left. Has to sit until halftime. Looked good when he was in but man these fouls, even if one was a flop, need to stop. I love his aggressiveness though and he'll learn.

I really believe he's being told to do that. He certainly can afford to be aggressive.

Nah man. Ive seen Cal rip into him before when he fouls. Nothing good comes from having to sit him for half the 1st and walk on eggshells in the 2nd if he gets to 4 fouls. Many of his fouls are easily avoidable. He just gets too handsy at times.

But yea Kentucky winning by 16 already so this looks like another blowout. Towns isnt even needed right now. Just toss in Dakari and all is well.

cullestein? will be a good player, but he's already maxed out potentially.

KAT though makes you drool when you think of the finished product.

IF the Harrison twins declare, they will NOT go undrafted! They are both easily second round picks. BUT, with that said, if I were them, I'd pull a Willie Cauley Stein and stay in school. One problem: If Coach Cal has two great guards coming in next year he could discourage the twins from staying at UK.

Then there's the case of Tyler Ulis: This kid is a fantastic facilitator who will probably stay in school. The knock on him as a draft pick is his "shortness." He's even shorter than Larkin, though miles ahead of Larkin.
Tanking again, I suppose. Is there any other way?

I didn't mean the fouling, but remaining aggressive. The fouls are a result, something he should be able to pick and choose when.

KAT is my man but WCS is not maxed out by any means.

He's just starting to trust his offense and shows considerable ball handling, shooting stroke for a legit 7 footer.

Plus his athleticism is perfect for the NBA game - he instantly changes a team defensive make-up.

God - that is 3 weak ass fouls on towns. First one was complete flop, second was phantom call and third just had his hands up and no body contact.

Im starting to think Okafor has the right idea by not playing much defense with the way these fouls are called. Kinda hard for Towns to make a 1st pick push if he cant stay on the floor, wack ass calls or not. Okafor would have just let Portis score but hed still be out there.

Towns back in.

Yeah they need rule changes and fast.

I'm mad I forgot about this game but I think I chose correctly when I threw OKC-CHI on. Mirotic and Pau look good.
