He's who I wanted with the GS pick.

So keep playing poor wing defenders but try and upgrade the defense from the bigs?To add, if we replaced Kanter with an above average defender, it would do wonders for our team as a whole and help mask some of our wings defensive deficiencies.
They will probably match any offer sheet...
Definitely. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the most he can make is the MLE anyways. Good on him for taking the one year deal and gambling on himself.
.. and Karl Towns will still be 19 years old when he is selected in next year's draft.

Carroll won't be an inexpensive free agent this time. He's a legit starter with 3PT range. I think we need to go after him...HARD! Have Snyder and Zanik give him a call at 12:00.01 and offer him a very sizable deal with a 2 minute window to accept (like Phoenix did with Raja). On the other phone, Lindsey calls Matthews and offers him a deal. First one to accept gets our money.
I think it's much easier to get a wing in free agency than a serviceable big. And it looks like there are some very good bigs in this draft, even if the Jazz don't get lucky and land Towns or Okafor.
Does Karl Towns ever talk about him self in third person?
"Karl done blocked 3 shots. Karl like that."
Because then it seems meant to be.
Sadly, this Karl wouldn't do that.
More serious question - does he have a mean streak and toughness? I feel like we are lacking that...
He is relentless on both ends.. but I wouldn't call it a mean streak. Dogged would be a better word.
A. Davis didn't seem to have a mean streak but look at him now.
Would Karl Towns cut in the lunch line? Is he that mean and hungry?
I want a player who is willing to cut the 1st person in line for lunch and turn around and slap the 1st person to the back of the line. Then I want him to cut the 2nd person in line after he is done obtaining his first plate to get a second plate.
