Karl-Anthony Towns
Talk about a nightmare scenario for 29 teams.
Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the best shooting big men in NBA history. He’s not just a standstill shooter: he can create off the dribble. He can pull up on the break and launch. He can shoot any way you can imagine, and if you bite on his pump fake, he can get to the hole.
What he can’t seem to do is defend the rim. Although he’s made progress in that regard, Towns has long been regarded as a lackluster defender. Ideally, he’s paired with a versatile defender at the 4 who can cover his weaknesses.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, if you don’t follow basketball, is a versatile defender.

He’s also arguably the best interior scorer in the NBA. The inside/outside dynamic between these two would face defenses with Sophie’s Choice on a nightly basis. In fact, they’d be virtually unguardable.
