Kentucky men's basketball is playing in a tourney in Bahamas. Now WCS and Lyles are sitting out, but it does not matter because Kentucky is just BAD....ya know the phrase bad, meaning good.

After watching just the highlight vids of the 4 games Kentucky has played...wow. Karl Towns added muscle and has been battling Dakari Johnson in practice. Now Kentucky has insane depth in the front court :Dakari Johnson, Marcus Lee, Karl Towns, Trey Lyles, Alex Poythress, and lastly returning Willie Cauly Stein. Well their back court is insane too.

What I take away from this is that Karl Towns is progressing nicely. According to Cal he is much better than he even thought and runs better too. I am personally obsessing over Towns and I want the Celtics to get him.
Here are some of the videos:

Karl looks like a below the rim type to me, on those dunks he cleared the rim but not excessively though.  That doesn't mean he is bad, but a banger.

The thing is he doesn't need to jump very high anyways, he has a 9'5'' standing reach and a legit 7 footer. If he ends up improving and becomes an above the rim type player...watchout, but generally I think he will be a great offensively from outside the block and hopefully can bang down low.

I really liked to see him using the baby hook and up and under in those videos. He has great body control for a guy his height.
