It doesn't even seem like there was much debate between Towns and Duke's Jahlil Okafor, who earned consensus first-team All-American honors this year ahead of Towns, a consensus second-team selection. Ford actually ranked Okafor behind Kristaps Porzingis -- a Latvian forward who plays for Baloncesto Sevilla in Spain -- primarily due to uncertainty about Okafor's fit in the modern NBA. 即使Okafor贏得了全美年度第一隊，而Towns僅僅為第二隊，兩位專家還是都把Towns擺在內線球員第一位，幾乎沒有疑義， Ford甚至把Okafor排在Kristaps Porzingis的後面，主要是對Okafor能否適應現代NBA有疑慮。 From Ford: "While Okafor has superior footwork and go-to moves in the paint, Towns trumps him in virtually every other category. He's a better athlete, superior defender, elite shot-blocker, better shooter and, after watching him work out, I also came away supremely impressed with both his intelligence and work ethic. To me he's the complete package for a modern NBA big. ...Ten years ago I think Okafor would've been a lock for No. 1. It will be interesting to see how the league develops and what role players like Okafor will play in it." Ford說：「雖然Okafor在禁區的腳步跟移動較為傑出，但Towns在其他各方面都贏。 Towns有較佳的體能、更好的防守、優異的火鍋、良好的跳投，而看過Towns試訓後，我對於他的籃球智商以及工作態度也感到印象深刻。對我而言，他具備現代籃球長人所需的所有元素。如果是十年前來選，我認為Okafor會是選秀第一，但隨著現代籃球的發展，Okafor的角色能發揮到哪裡，我有所懷疑。」 From Pelton: "The stats and the scouting are all in alignment here. Towns has the better chance of developing into an above-average center at both ends of the floor, which is an incredibly valuable building block. Injury aside, his floor seems remarkably high given his combination of size and skill. It's difficult to see Towns failing and easy to see him developing into an All-Star as his offense progresses." Pelton說：「所有的數據跟球探報告都赤裸裸的呈現出來了， Towns有較佳的機會發展成攻守兩端都大於平均值的中鋒，這等於是說他是很有價值的基石。沒有傷病的話，他的地板很高很難養壞，當他的進攻持續進步，他會很容易成為All-Star等級的球員。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.201.19 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1434382057.A.34E.html
