Which trio of young talented NBA players would you rather have?

Towns is so good... I'd hate to go against him in any way. The Middleton (sure thing) vs. LaVine (nothing near a sure thing) is the primary thing that gives me pause.

Then again, Jabari Parker has shown signs, but he's still without a position. And he desperately needs to add a three point shot.

So Wolves... primarily because of Towns. And the potential of Wiggins doesn't hurt.

The Wolves and I don't think it's all that close.

2x Towns is so good the other guys with him would have to be so bad and the other 3 really good to off set it.

I think GF and Lavine are the guys I would compare each other too because they obviously have physical talent and theoretical skills but it's whether or not they can put it together. It's looking good for both guys right now which is exciting.

I take the Wolves, but it's largely due to Towns being the best young player in basketball. The Bucks have something special growing in Milwaukee too, though. Very excited for them and no disrespect to their threesome because it's quite good too.

At the very least, Milwaukee's threesome puts the threesome on the University of Minnesota's basketball team to shame.

If this question had been asked a month ago - well wait - this question never would have been asked a month ago. Don't be a prisoner of the moment guys.

To be fair... We've had Milwaukee vs. Minnesota debates before. And Parker vs. Wiggins debates have happened before. And we've had Middleton vs. Rubio debates. And Giannis vs. Wiggins debates.

So it's not like it's an entirely new topic... just rehashing previous ones slightly differently.

To be fair, GA and Parker have exploded the last month and it's the only reason why this particular debate is relevant. Prior to that Towns was twice as good as GA, Wiggins was twice as good as Parker, and Middleton had an edge on Lavine. All I'm suggesting is this is the type of thing message boards do, manufacture a debate based on a small window of play.
