Towns vs Russell
We get to see Karl-Anthony Towns, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, vs D’Angelo Russell, the No. 2 overall pick, face off fairly early in the season. We won’t get any empirical knowledge from this matchup, but it’s a fun game that could lead us down many rabbit holes.
Will Russell look better than he did during preseason? Will Towns begin his road to Rookie of the Year with a bang? Plus, how much of a role will Towns realistically have this early in the season? Will Russell play third fiddle to Kobe Bryant and Jordan Clarkson?
There’s a bunch of possibilities – and potential takeaways – that can be extracted from this matchup. Just enjoy it, more than anything, though.
