He is going to be very good for a very long time.

Yeah that's why I knew I had to post it.

BTW Darko had 24 blocks in that stretch, Griffin with 25 (28 in 7 games), KAT with 21

Shaq played 3 seasons in college, Robinson and Mourning 4, and Mutombo was 25 his rookie year.

KAT is the real deal even more so than Wiggins.

Towns is like manna from heaven. Like a caged lion unleashed. And what a smile he has.

Towns is already really good at, like, everything, at 19 years old. Also very smart with a great attitude. The dude seriously has no ceiling IMO.

Easy now. I may be a ku homer along with a wolves fan but let's just say we have two incredibly talented young players. I still think Wiggins has mvp talent in the next couple years

They're on the same team. No need for these type of comparisons.


It's like comparing Duncan and Kobe. :wink:

I don't think it's a knock on Wiggins, everyone's development is different. I think it's more of a compliment to KAT, because we know Wiggins is the real deal from last year and KAT is doing things that are nearly unheard of for a rookie, let alone a 19 year old.
