He is one of my favorites...I would add that Rondae Hollis Jefferson will be drafted by Chicago and become a starter by all star break.
Don't get cute just draft Towns. And what's more, show some strength as an organization and just come out and let everyone know what you are going to do. Might pay off in the eyes of other FA's.

Mine....WCS will never start for any team in the NBA.
I think that's pretty bold, especially considering the team that drafts him top 10 will likely have a need and plug him in as a starter almost right away.
Justise Winslow will become something between Andre Iguodala and James Harden
The reality is when it comes to the draft I rarely take a strong stand but I usually have certain guys I like. I have taken a pretty strong stand wanting Towns over Okafor. I really like Winslow.
I am sure I bring up when I have been right about guys in the draft (when I've taken a stand lol) more than I do when I have been wrong but I do think I've been willing to say when I've missed. I don't think there shouldn't be that much shame in it really because of how much of a crapshoot it is. It's fun to be tight though and a lot of the time when you are wrong you have something sort of personally invested in that player beyond just being right or wrong.

If Towns is the next KG, and we already heard Flip compare Okafor to Duncan, does that mean since KG is still on the team we have to take the next KG? :)
