Less passing, more shooting.
Less record-scratching, more flowing in the rhythm of the offense.

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded his 5,000th career rebound last night.
Among players who debuted after the ABA-NBA merger, only Dwight Howard reached 10,000 points and 5,000 rebounds at a younger age (age in years-days):
✅ 25-095 Howard
✅ 26-036 Towns
✅ 26-044 Shaquille O’Neal pic.twitter.com/MmeNQhnztq – 9:16 AM

I think Jokic, Gobert and Embiid are pretty comfortably the All-NBA centers, and Karl-Anthony Towns is probably fourth, but Ayton is absolutely in the conversation if there’s an injury or two. Pretty meaningful considering his upcoming contract negotiations. – 10:47 PM
