[@prestonrandolph3518]

Yall are stupid if you think this kid is not going to make an impact first thing. The kid Is 7'0. N he can run the court. Shoot the three and great post moves. He is a beast. Yall surely dont know basketball. Negative ppl get on my nerves.

This guy has a lot of potential to be a great player. I can see him doing well on the next level of basketball, definitely a potential NBA player.

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Good to see a big young guy with real skill, i hate seeing all those Tacko Fall style guys who are just tall as fuck but cant do anything but dunk over guys half their size.

[@SportsFreak217]

A lot of potential in this kid. I see great things in his future.

[@Henrici4]

Any 7'1" player with a jump shot and a handle deserves all the hype he can get. This makes his possibilities endless. Most of these top rated big men are like 6'10" with no jumper and an extremely limited array of post moves. This kid is 7'1" with a jump shot thats got range to 25 ft!

[@kb520]

also with his sweet jumper. that's really good

[@Kingwill-oy4xo]

He is even better this year.. Stronger more explosive and just polished as I ever seen a HS center.

[@lukebecker7195]

Lol coming back 5 years later this is crazy

[@milly0312]

His dad was my parents teacher in middle school !

[@idlifenews]

He looks good. Looks more of a legit 6'10" than 7'1" though.

[@cchsjohn]

Well you sir are wrong...he was just measured at the pro camps as a legit 7'0+ and has over a 7'5 wingspan, along with wearing the largest shoe size they have ever ordered for a UK bball player. sorry to burst your bubble but get your facts straight before he and UK run a train on your team next year.

[@idlifenews]

Most heights are listed in shoe's and rounded up. In the old days they were barefoot and rounded down. There are a few honestly listed players but this one sounds like 7 foot in shoes.

[@cchsjohn]

vaughtsviews.com/karl-towns-trey-lyles-both-have-length-and-size-play-tonight-in-hoop-summit/ My bad on the wingspan which was only 7'3.5. The main number is standing reach in shoes though cause that is how you really play. Towns is a mere 7 inches from the rim standing flat footed under it with hands in the air. Ive seen him in pics with Demarcus Cousins and he has a solid inch on the dude.

Oh shit imagine towns in that dribble drive offense, he can shoot so the center is going to actually have to guard him and that clears out the paint for the Harrison twins, Booker, ulis and lyles

You'd think playing on a varsity national team would look better in rankings than AAU ball, lol. Either way, Towns is gonna do serious work at UK! I can't wait!

[@oklahomacitythunder3534]

Hi I just wanted to say how good of a player you are keep your head up and understand that they are defense you also have to work on your stable bility working as opposed player is important part of basketball is well let you know that love the way that you you play defense as well as offense you can make a big impression keep your head up and remember basketball is life and don't forget have fun

[@peterhamilton8973]

He is 7'1" he was 6'11.5" with shoes over the summer. Keep in mind he's only 17 and a senior because he skipped junior year so he's still growing. By the time he leaves Kentucky next year he'll be a 7'2.5" stretch 5 and a top 5 draft pick. He has been destined to the NBA since age 10 and his coach father knew it so he'll be ready.

[@baischgolfer]

Looks pretty good down low, but how about that jumper.. Pro scouts will love that too.

[@Fr0gSplashh]

He's been comitted to UK for a while now. He falls down the rankings because he doesn't play AAU. He has way more skills than most of the guys ranked ahead of him.

[@unpopulartruth1164]

I like his potential good form on the jumper...not a great athlete but above average for his position. Long arms great for defense. ok size with his frame and looks like he can run and pass the ball pretty well. Interested how it will transfer to the college game.

bigger version of Al Horford with a little more dribble and shooting range. He is finally trimming off some baby fat, needs to hit the gym a bit more. Btw he is not 7'1. When we listed his height at the Tuto Marchand Tournament he was listed at 6'10 with no shoes and 6'11 and half without them. still a pretty tall kid. should get better in college.
