    Towns is as good as Okafor. Turner could be better then both a few years from now

    LMAO @ Frank Kaminsky being better than Okafor, if all these dudes enter the Draft Kaminsky looks like the 4th or 5th best big man prospect. Okafor should go 1st in the draft, dude got moves on the block.

    Kaminsky is nice but too many in the hype with Okafor come conference tourney and March Madness people will see who has the better all around game.

    Did you see them play last Wednesday. He had problems with Kaminsky. Duke switched their game up because of him and their guards won that game. I won't doubt that OK4 is better but Kaminsky game is well rounded. He got a handle for a Center and he can beat OK4 off the dribble. His post moves and back to the basket game is overlooked and he can defend just as good. Kaminsky is better around the perimeter and behind the arc which gave OK4 problems trying to defend him and got into foul trouble early. I have no doubt OK4 coming in #1 tho

    I've seen Kaminsky play, he's decent. If I were a GM & I was ranking big man draft prospects I'd list them as

    1. Okafor
    2. Turner
    3. Towns

    4th or 5th could rotate between Kaminsky/Alexander

    I can understand you having OK4 over Kaminsky but Myles Turner and Karl Towns, nah. They are still tweeners and should stay a season or two more to develop. What aspects of Town's & Turner's game that you think are better than Frank Da Tank?

    Turner, Kaminsky, & Towns are all 6'10 - 6'11. They will be PF's in the league, I don't see how their tweeners. Their games in the low post are better than Kaminsky. I don't think Kaminsky is trash, he's just not better than those three players

    Turner and Towns are projected 5s not 4s. They can both play some PF but I don't think they are athletic enough to play that position on the NBA for long stretches.

    Towns & Turner are projected to be one and done prospects. We haven't even seen them in tournaments yet. Kaminsky is already battle tested. There are aspects of Towns & Turner game that still needs to develop. Their post and back to the basket aren't better than Frank.

    Meaning what? You got it fam, Kaminsky is not good enough to be going back & forth with posts. Kaminsky is decent, it ain't like I said Thomas Hamilton Jr. Is better that Kaminsky

    lol @ kaminsky.

    Please see the Emeka Okafor (irony) vd Dwight Howard rule.

    A kid who is better in college or 'gives him trouble' doesnt make him a better prospect. You're talking about a 19 year old. Kaminsk is nowhere near Okafor as a prospect.

    I dont see anything at all with Turner. Nothing. Nothing at all with Alexander bc he's undersized. I see potential with Towns. Cauley Stein is Dan Gadzuric light.

    I think its essential to remember just bc these guys come in as top prospects from HIGH SCHOOL, doesnt mean we're pidgeon holed to do super projections that they will be good in the NBA.

    That was a nice win by Duke. Okafor had problems with Kaminsky which I expected. He can't defend outside of the perimeter which Kaminsky took advantage of. His post game is just as good if not better than Okafor's. The only thing Okafor got over Kaminsky is his strength. Okafor muscled his way in and scored the first point. Kaminsky quickly realized and adjusted his defense by staying in front of Okafor denying him the ball. Once Okafor seen that he didn't want the ball and his teammates hesitated passing it to him because he's so use to his opponent being behind him. If i was looking for a more skilled center for the 2015 draft i would pick Kaminsky over Okafor.
