    Frank got a very soft touch on his shots. Im seeing the potential.

    And his passing is better than I expected.

    19 he just needs time but defensively he's already great at team defense and being in the right spots. On top of that he's good at keeping his hands high.

    KP best offensive big in the game, idgaf what anyone says. Its how he scores. He hit a corner 3, catch and shoot, came back next play, put the ball on the floor from the premiter and made a scoop layup, came back next play and hit another spot up 3.

    Just need him to start playing D

    First off, all three are great. But im talking just offensively, KP is better then Towns. KP has a better offensive skillset than Towns. With boogie its much closer and I can see it going to Cousins just based off experience.

    Embiid will also be in the discussion when his minutes restriction gets taken off.

    He plays defense but every now and then he doesn't get out to shooters in time which I won't hold against him being 7'3 guarding 3 an 4s. Yall stat guys can check last season who was one of the top players in rim protection last season. No where near lapse like Towns no defense playing ass. KP aint a ball stopper like Towns either his passing >>>Towns. I'll say Towns is more fluid down low though

    KP can shoot better and with more consistency from mid range and 3, has way more range, can drive from the 3 point line to the rim better, has a better turn around jumper, also he can shoot off the dribble much better than Towns.

    Towns has a better post game, thats the one thing KP lacks but it has improved a lot from last year already.

    Im a fan of Towns, and we comparing Elite young bigs, so im not saying Towns cant do everything I wrote, Towns is a beast, KP is just better at them than Towns is.

    Towns has has a better first 2 years than KP. He came in the league more NBA ready.

    But just off these first 5 games of the season, KP has taken a leap and has been filling in the role of the #1 option way better than I was expecting. He still has lots improving to do. He still rushes his shots and panics when double teamed.

    Now again, its only 5 games. If KP fizzles out and cant keep this level consistently going forward, ill take back him being the best offensive big.

    And KP just seems lost on defense. Hes still a very good rim protector, but has no idea how to defend outside of paint.

    I see a bit of Melos habit in him. Where Melo will stop gaurding before the play is over and position himself to get a rebound, and then fail to recover and close out when the ball finds his man. It was the 1 thing Melo did that frustrated the ? out of me. Of all the bad Melo habits to pick up. They better get him to cut that ? out.
