Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2729146, member: 1026"] One factor with KAT is playing for Thibs, initially we assumed that meant he'd learn defense, but could be that overriding factor is that Towns conserves energy b/c he's on the court for 37 minutes a night (vs Embiid's 30). Of course Davis plays 36mpg, so it is possible that you can play defense and score - just have to be in great shape which neither Embiid or Towns are. I'd bet on Embiid being more motivated to get there and dominate, but on same token I'd bet on Towns' career 'counting stats' to ultimately be higher because he's less likely to be injured and will play more provided Thibs doesn't burn him to the ground like Yoakim Noah & Derek Rose.
