Maybe Embiid's intensity and flamboyance help the eye test, but statistically Towns actually grades out equal to better.flexbuffchest wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:12 pmNo.OliverMiller wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 3:38 pmHe's basically been slightly worse than Embiid this yearPhilo Beddoe wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:05 pm

Embiid is DPOY material and has played that way all year.
Towns, who is a pussy, warm and soft, hot and cold, has had considerable improvement, he is better than ever, no doubts! He is still however a mental Little Person and is screwed when it comes to toughness and may fade. Give him time this may be different, I hope it may be.memyworld wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:17 pmMaybe Embiid's intensity and flamboyance help the eye test, but statistically Towns actually grades out equal to better.flexbuffchest wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:12 pmNo.OliverMiller wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 3:38 pm

Pretty sad considering it's easier than ever to vote. If you Google his name, all you have to do next is click "vote."UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:37 pm Wolves fans still aren’t voting for Towns for the all star game. He’s not even in the top 10 for front court players

I have been voting everyday, but not for Towns. Main reason, I don't want to make that contract larger than need be. He has been playing good though.LordNu wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:59 pm...

At least over the previous 2 seasons, Embiid was far ahead of Towns in impact. Embiid's defense has not been as good this season, which could be a result of an increased work load on offense and also losing Covington but more reliable stats than the ones posted still show that Embiid has a solid advantage defensively over Towns even with Towns improvement and Embiid's regression.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 5:21 pm They’re both incredible players and very comparable in terms of overall impact on games.
Towns is a significantly better 3pt shooter which is huge in today’s nba.
Embiid gets to the ft line twice as often, which is also huge.
Small sample size.
Still 11 games.T_J wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 12:11 pmSmall sample size.
Spoiler:
I'd love to keep Rose and Gibson on this team. Gibson/Saric is a matchup start. I like Rose, Wiggins, and Gibson/Saric against backups.Moses Scurry wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 12:25 pm Just get us a long term good PG, and I'd be happy.
PG
Okogie/Wiggins
Bob/Wiggins
Saric (needs to be consistent)
Towns
Philadelphia Warrior great.
He’s that guy I forced myself to remember to ensure I get the top score in some of those really odd Sporcle quizzes.
