Karl was not a freak athlete
What made him great was he was relentless.
He never ever took a play off.
Karl redefined the PF position with his speed and strength. Pretty much considered a freak at the time.

Where's that Karl Towns kid going?
So how do we feel about this line up?
Burke - Exum - Hayward - Kanter - Favors
Good enough starting 5 to win it all?
If Dwight is a freak athlete, then so is Favors.
Been thinklin.. (thats me thinkin like franklin).
There's been too much Parker kool-aid been dranklin (thank you).
Wiggins is the super super star..... stahp prognosticatlin.

I disagree.
Dwight = freak athelete
Favors = very good athelete
All of their measurements (no step vert, max vert, 3/4 sprint, lane agility, etc.) are exactly the same. I'll post them if you want.
I once read an article that looked at all the big men drafted in the past decade (this article was written in 2012, I believe) that put together a list of the overall finest physical specimen's based on their combine results. Dwight was #1, Favors was #2.
I just don't think Favors displays his athleticism as much as Dwight (that's the real problem).
MIller's will be afraid of a two year tank.. we'll be good next year. Not because of the Miller's desire to win, but the strategy of Lindsey to be good quickly following a tank year.

Embiid is my darkhorse top-4 pick.
Mine too.
My concern with the announcement of Duke signing Okafor and Jones today, how does this affect Parker''s decision to stay or go? So what happens if Duke gets beat in the tournament does Coach K get in Parker's ear and say we can be special next year if you stay?
Perhaps that was the basis for Coach K coming out with his anti-tanking rant. Should Jazz nation be more worried that Parker stays?
