I don t understand! A top pick has averaged 20+ points per game for 9 consecutive years. Why do so many people criticize him?
12:48am, 27 May 2025【Basketball】
What's the matter! The No. 1 pick is the second-hand man and the second-round pick is the eldest. There is no way. This is the NBA. Talent is just a stepping stone, and strength is the king. The depressed No. 1 pick is Carl Anthony Towns. Last year, he was invincible in the Eastern Conference Finals. I would like to ask you, who else can do it? How to describe Towns' career?
The most controversial, the most schizophrenia of fans, the most quarrels, and even the most quarrels must be the 29-year-old No. 1 pick. Why is Towns' career so controversial?
1, is it a fudge or a hard candy?
Average 20+ points per game in the regular season for nine consecutive years, with a shooting percentage of less than 50% in just one year, and has been above 50% in the other 8 years, and has averaged 18+ points per game in the playoffs for four consecutive years. Looking at the league, apart from having a teacher, there are several centers who can do it.
As a result, the humiliating nickname of Gummy Candy resounded throughout the fan circle. The scene of Towns single-player Cousins became one of the famous NBA scenes, both of whom were No. 1 picks. As a result, they were forced to be squeezed away by the rising star Huazi. They went to the Knicks and had to assist the second-round pick Brunson.
This is the current Towns. He played hard candy well, but he played badly. If he wanted to change the status quo, Towns had only one way to Huashan to help the Knicks reach the finals and win the championship. Just like Nowitzki in the past, only in this way can he change his fate against the will of heaven! Only then can the fudge become really hard candy!
2, should you shoot three points?
All-Star three-point champion, in this small ball era, there are so few centers who can shoot three-pointers. If Towns has this ability, he should shoot more three-pointers, and there is no problem!
Why do you have to shoot so many three-pointers? Look at the teacher, he has the ability to make three-pointers, but he has always made very low three-pointers. After all, he should solve the problem in the inside line. That is the most efficient offensive method, and the same is true for Towns! Otherwise, Bai Grown would be so tall!
3, is the defense good or bad?
2m13, with an average of 11.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and occasionally he can defend against the big and small. Towns is good at defending, not that bad.
Within 6 feet of the basket (frame protection data), facing Towns' defense, the opponent's shooting percentage is 67.1%. As a center, Towns's frame protection is too bad. Such a Towns cannot be regarded as the top center in the league!
Downs is working hard to change his fate, and the Knicks is also working hard to change his fate, and stubbornly tied the score to 1-2. Thibodeau is of course happy, but he is also very distressed. There are three problems that must have troubled Thibodeau!
1, should we insist on long rotations? We have been insisting on short rotations for so many years. As a result, the accidental long rotation helped the Knicks win a game. Do we need to change? Or stick to the old habit?
2, should Brunson give part of the ball to Towns? Brunson's accidental five-for-money made Towns kill. He helped the Knicks win the Pacers at 20 points in the last quarter. Thibodeau wants to change? Or stick to the old habit?
3, should Mitchell Robinson continue to start? It was true that Robinson won the game as a starter, but Robinson did not play in the final quarter, and Towns was extremely brave without Robinson on the court! Thibodeau wants to continue Robinson's starting lineup? Or is it the original Wu Du starter?
Fans, why is Towns' career controversial? Is Towns hard or soft? Will Thibodeau change the starting lineup in the next game? Will Thibodeau let Towns fight more? Will Thibodeau let the Knicks rotate for a long time?
