1. PF/C Karl-Anthony Towns, Kentucky (7-foot-0, 248 pounds)
Really it’s hard to find a glaring weakness. He has the size and athleticism, but is also a skilled big man with a high basketball IQ. Very coachable kid with a great work ethic. Can play with his back to the basket, or step out and hit a mid-range jumper. Has range out to the three-point line and is a very good free throw shooter for a big man, shooting 81.3 percent on the year. Elite shot blocker and a great rebounder too. He played his best basketball down the stretch, and was the guy Kentucky looked to late in a game when they needed a score. He’s so versatile, being able to play inside or out. Being able to play the four or the five. To me he’s the best player in the draft, and it isn’t all that close.
Next: No. 2...
