I don't see it. I also don't think Okafor turns into a superstar.

That has more to do with the other players in the draft class than anything.




True, but at the time it was considered a pretty good class and they weren't talking about him as "oh he's the #1 in this class", they were talking about him as how he would rank among #1s for the previous 10 years. I don't see that talk with KAT.

Anyway, KAT is a very good prospect. AD had the much higher ceiling coming out, but KAT is extremely polished in a lot of ways.

I think Towns will be closer to Al Horford than Anthony Davis. He'll be a solid occasional all-star.

Russillo said he watched tons of tape on him and that Towns is easily the best player in the draft. He said his footwork is off the charts and he is NBA ready with an already solid frame.

I think that's a shite prospect comparison.

When AD left college, I remember him being compared to a Tim Duncan type big, and he was extremely hyped.

I remember a list compiled ranking the last 25 #1 picks strictly as prospects, not how they ended up being. AD was like #6 on that list. I don't get the sense that Towns is quite the "can't miss" prospect.
