People like myself love Jahlil Okafor but there’s much to love about Towns’ game. He’s a great shooter, he’s got the ability to stretch the floor, he plays defense, he can block shots, he rebounds and he shoots free throws well. We’ve been watching Towns the entire year in the SEC and he’s had tremendous growth from the beginning of the year to the end.

Towns is going to improve much more playing away from his talented Kentucky team because he’ll have to rely on his talent more than he needed to in college. Because the Minnesota Timberwolves have the No. 1 pick in the draft they will have to make a decision to draft Towns or Jahlil Okafor.

Here are the pros and cons of the Timberwolves decision to draft Towns.
