Capella is simply better at being a tim runner and setting screens etc. if Finch can actually get Towns to play like a big that would be a big development. Look at what Ayton was doing in the previous game.
KAT is a dominant low-post scorer. In that sense, he clearly plays like a big. He's not some soft perimeter guy who hangs out at the three point line. However, as you noted, his screening is poor and his rim-running is sub-par. But I think Finch can get him to improve in those areas. It will help to have guards like DLO and Ant who can facilitate.
Towns used to be a dominant low post scorer but that's gone away to some extent the last few years. Some of that is the league and sole of that is the offense and some of that is Towns getting too frustrated. He isn't soft but...he ain't rugged either. He plays hard though I just think he isn't the same as those other Bigs. Obviously he is a terrific shooter which is a big thing to have but it also I think can be somewhat of a negative. Towns himself needs to put his offensive skill all together but so does the freaking coaching staff. Towns is to blame for how he is or isn't used but I think it's been malpractice at times how he isn't or isn't used.
