What makes a top pick in the NBA draft? Well, there’s one obvious quality: talent.
Normally, the first pick in the draft is one of the most talented young basketball players in the world. If they aren’t, they’ll end up being a bust.
Is the number one pick usually perfect? No. Almost every player in the NBA has a flaw. Even top draft choices are no exception.
Towns’ flaw is defense. He is almost without flaw on the offensive end of the floor, but he struggles to prevent points.
