Good article from Justin Verrier on the rivalry between these 2 that's been ramped up by UK assistant Kenney Payne.

quote:

"I can't wait to be on the team that plays against the Olympic team," Payne recalled Towns saying. "I'm gonna put it on KP's guys."

Payne immediately pulled out his phone and called the number he has listed under "My baby giraffe."

Davis, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist fresh off his first All-Star season in the NBA, was on the other line.

"I forgot what was said, but I remember him calling me because Karl was talkin' some crap while he was still at Kentucky," Davis said with a big smile. "[Payne] will do that. He'll put you on the spot."

The calls kept coming, this time with Davis doing the dialing.

"For over two months, even during the season, Anthony would call me at least three times a week [and say], 'I can't wait to play against Karl. I'm going to demolish him,'" Payne said.

Is AD questionable again for tonight? That'd be a bummer to miss that matchup on national TV.

You probably prefer penis over vagina too

Is it because of health, or do you think KAT is better?


If it's because of health concerns I get it. But, if you actually think KAT is better at this point you might be blind

Depends on the context. I prefer to have a penis over having a vagina, yes.

Well i dont think ADs injury problems are entirely centered around actual health. How many fricking "contusions" does that dude get lol??

Id say its more skill-set than anything. I really like KAT and the ease at which you can build around him. I think AD is much harder to build around.


ETA: also these guys are both in the consensus top 3-5 of cornerstone/redraft rankings. So saying that i have them in a particular order isnt shitting on AD .

towns looks similar to embiid in that they both can do Olajuwon things around the basket and then can go hit a three. Plus they both are strong and fast

Davis has different skills
once he becomes a better passer he can be an offensive force more versatile than either of those two

I read that earlier. Really was an interesting read. AD seems like a good guy.

If AD could pass 70% as well as Blake Griffin, he'd be the easiest player in the league to build around moving forward.

AD harder to build around? Interesting season to say this. The Wolves haven't been good and KAT has pieces around him. AD gets one good player to join him and they're looking like a good team.

But it has to be a very specific type of player.

How do we know? He's never had particularly good players around him other than Jrue.

I honestly think Jrue is the perfect guy for him to be paired with. And a solid 3 and D SF
