Tucker wanted to enter inside scorers like Jabbar and Wilt into the discussion, so they narrowed the discussion to only versatile scorers able to score inside and out. They agreed that Durant could be #1 in that category. TT oddly tried to include George Gervin into the conversation, calling him a "shorter version of Durant", but the Iceman really wasn't a very efficient scorer like Durant is.
By the way, I looked up the best eFG%'s of all time, and was pleased to see who was the current player with the ability to score inside and out and averaging over 20 PPG with the highest career eFG%. Yep, none other than our own...
KARL ANTHONY TOWNS...57.5%!!!!!!
Nice work, FNG! Towns really is an extraordinary offensive player. His scoring, shooting versatility (both inside and outside), and shooting efficiency are all elite. He's also an elite offensive rebounder. He's already a pretty good passer who I believe will develop into an excellent passer.
