The fact that he's sixteen playing against the top players in the NBA and still holding his own is impressive. He'll be an NBA legend if he can stay healthy.
My friend's cousin, Wade Baldwin IV, played with Towns in high school. It's really cool to think that someone I grew up and balled with has a chance of maybe becoming a professional basketball player in the next few years.
Damn straight. Nice call on this one. Bc to be completely honest. Coach calipari has put the 4 best big men in the league in the last 10 years. Anthony Davis, KAT, DeMarcus cousins, and now bam adebayo.!
+monkeymanprophecy im from New Orleans and the AD aka the Brow has a very weak offensive game. AD is far superior to Towns on the defensive side but Towns can score in many different ways in the paint or from 3. AD only has a mid range shot, not a good 3 ball and minimal post moves. Both very good players but very different skill sets
+Brandin Jordan I love KAT and AD. You could not be more wrong. David is just more athletic than KAT. You're right about them being different players with different styles they both are fantastic offensively. Also AD has averaged 24 the past 2 years so....
i remember this he was really good jumper was on point....the crazy thing is that he's goin to UK and played former Louisville players in Francisco Garcia and E Sosa
he was telling coach cal," i told you i can hit 3's" 2 yrs before he come to uk he was only 6'1, he grew like 10in in 2yrs, or something crazy, he's use to playing at pg. he's gonna be special, something in between kg and kd.
yo this kid has talent and he is doing think in the world he was 16 years old i think when he play with dr wow wow wow wow wow skill and hard work payed off nice
He is even stronger and More athletic since this video and his game is SOOO polished for HS. He is the Most Polished Big to maybe ever come out of NJ. Tim Thomas was really skilled but this guy has More Heart and Smarts plus work ethic plus 2 to 3 inches taller. He will be a Star in College and than the NBA.
he was born in the dominican republic his nationality is dominican yall act like thats a race my parents are both dominican but i was born in america that makes me american smh
definitely 1 and done though like almost every Kentucky player the last few years. Next year they have the #3,4,9, 11 and 13th ranked HS player and still have a shot at #1 Wiggins and the #2 kid.
he was a freshman that year but from what I heard they re-graded him or something like that and now he's going to be a senior. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, b/c I dont want to play against him in my last 2 years
Anthony Oo im like 1000% positive Towns won't go to a team that purposely tanked for a pick like the knicks. no one wants to play for them, so instead of taking a player who doesn't want to play for them theyll likely trade back.
Anthony Oo lol im a celtic fan u gotta remember and I think yalls tank efforts are hidious. Especially with a star like Melo. Celtics could use Towns to his best potential and make him a star in 1-2 years. Knicks got a long way to go, Celtics have a youth movement going strong and upward.
At 1:00 the brow be like: Where's the 3-point play drawn for me when I was in Kentucky, huh??!! I told you I could hit 3s!! This is what you got for not setting up that play!!!
It's kind of a challenge to play for the US national team. They only scout NBA players because they want the absolute win. Towns was a sophomore in Highschool in this vid. He was pretty good when he was young and is doing good today. Definitely deserving of the number 1 pick
+Justin Chan he had the option to play for America or DR and obviously he would have never made the USA Olympic team as a HS sophomore when Anthony Davis was the worst person on our USA team that year and He was fresh off A National Championship from Kentucky and on his way to be the #1 overall pick in the NBA draft. So that's why he played for DR, he had no shot of making the USA team.
I know Parker is going to Duke. Rivals150 has Parker at #3 now. 1 is Andrew Wiggins 2 Julius Randle. I could have been looking at a different list since it had said Kentucky was getting 3 4 9 11 and 13 and if Parker is 3 its a different list.
+Eddy Belliard I've been to the Dominican Republic MANY times. My wife is DOMINICAN! I've been around DOMINICANS for 15 years, and I have NEVER heard ANY Dominican pronounce athletes like that! The only people that pronounce athletes with an F are people with a lisp or retards! DICKHEAD!!
Dat Kobe Fan I'm a Laker fan too, but let's be a little realistic here. Towns is going to the Wolves. Okafor or Russell is coming to LA. Oh and you can't call people retarded and use "your" instead of you're and then you misspell Okafor. As a Laker fan, I apologize for idiot fans like this one.
The fact that he's sixteen playing against the top players in the NBA and still holding his own is impressive. He'll be an NBA legend if he can stay healthy.
You called it
@@Tonyconstanzanot… like KAT but far from legend status
@@jerrywinker5308 but he made it
He’s not a legend😂
You mean Minnesota legend
Kid was a sophomore at the time? Really well-spoken and educated kid.
Damn he was in high school and playing in the Olympics
wasn't the olympics, guess you could say it was olympic competition though.
Sadly my country doesnt have much depth
He was on the Olympic team with nba players yes as a highschooler. The only one people forget this
karl towns was 16 at the time
how many hs students can say I packed anthony davis, how many FRESHMANS can say i played against team USA. Amazing
He was a sophomore going into his junior year that summer but still pretty impressive
He was a sophomore going into his junior year that summer but still pretty impressive

C.A. Description sais freshmen tho...
Orgullo de Dominicana Repúblic
so karl anthony first year in high school, he gets to play against the best pros in the world.
Aaron Turner He was weeks from being a Junior
"Towns had just finished his freshman year of high school when he stepped on the court against Team USA"
Towns reclassified after his junior year so he could go to college early
He was going into his jr year. Still crazy
I like how hes so well spoken. Like Duncan and Kareem
Hey Zach Randolph
Harry D. Shut the fuck bitch nigga
haha he points at coach cal because cal wouldn't let him shoot threes in college
Mark robinson Cal didn't let Towns shoot 3s either
My friend's cousin, Wade Baldwin IV, played with Towns in high school. It's really cool to think that someone I grew up and balled with has a chance of maybe becoming a professional basketball player in the next few years.
Honestly crazy you say that Baldwin is talent glad blazers got eyes on him
that is really impressive being that young in the olympics, especially in basketball
He is Dominicaaaaaan
Chris Pimentel half Dominican nigga. He doesn't even speak a lick of Spanish so thats cutz him down to 25%
Chris Pimentel como dijo dalin betances.los dominicanos nacemos donde nos de la gana. Viva rd.
hes 100% dominican, dont matter where he was born, he just has dominican blood running thourgh his veins!
yes he can nigga.....lol fuck wrong with yo ass....he speaks fluent Spanish!
This kid is very humble and is gunna go far in the NBA
im blessed i got to see this kid during high school. always fun to talk trash to him, but i know he's gonna be a big name. UK got a special kid
we the Dominican delegation, select Karl-Anthony Towns :)
Lmfaoo
We trade Sosa.
😂😂😂😂
they’re probably the two best big man in the league today
Jokic Embiid vucevic and horford
@@ryllessupersaiyangod4396 Towns the best Domincan.... Second To Al Horford
@@ryllessupersaiyangod4396 lol!
@@ryllessupersaiyangod4396 KAT is better than all of them, specially Jokic who only is a better Passer and that's it.
Damn straight. Nice call on this one. Bc to be completely honest. Coach calipari has put the 4 best big men in the league in the last 10 years. Anthony Davis, KAT, DeMarcus cousins, and now bam adebayo.!
Man imagine if they were at Kentucky at the same time. 👀 That would be unstoppable.
he might be good...probably even become great...but i don't see him over taking the brow...that guy is a beast
monkeymanprophecy He will over take him because LA will make him a star.
scott121 la has not produced any stars since kobe lol.
+monkeymanprophecy im from New Orleans and the AD aka the Brow has a very weak offensive game.

Dude is going nuts now
i remember this he was really good jumper was on point....the crazy thing is that he's goin to UK and played former Louisville players in Francisco Garcia and E Sosa
KAT is Dominican 🇩🇴?!!
Yes
Towns passing is impressive
Couple of cayts battling it out
he was telling coach cal," i told you i can hit 3's" 2 yrs before he come to uk he was only 6'1, he grew like 10in in 2yrs, or something crazy, he's use to playing at pg. he's gonna be special, something in between kg and kd.
KAT is Dominican?
He’s half
Hell naww this kid is juhh in high school playing with nba pros
Here in 2020
Seems really humble
hed be taller if he had a neck
Chris bosh should give him some of neck
Jayhawklover Nelson Anthony Towns is 7’ 1”, he doesn’t need to be taller than that.
he's 6'11" still tall though
Edwin Taveras he’s exactly 7ft
I believe your right i see him at school all the time
Aye future Player for the wolves
Yup
Wow that is aim....bullseye....
Great kid, looking forward to see him meet the pros again.
yo this kid has talent and he is doing think in the world he was 16 years old i think when he play with dr wow wow wow wow wow skill and hard work payed off nice
AD looked like a baby dear out there lol and kat was built like tobias harris. My how they both grew
Karl Towns is in my schools conference :/
Towns looks like a kid.
This video was in 2012 in the Olympics
He was and still is.
doesn't play like it
+Antbeast23 he grew up after the gsw game
he was and still is a kid.
Crazy!! Both are good!!!
I really like this guy...
Future MVPs
He is even stronger and More athletic since this video and his game is SOOO polished for HS. He is the Most Polished Big to maybe ever come out of NJ. Tim Thomas was really skilled but this guy has More Heart and Smarts plus work ethic plus 2 to 3 inches taller. He will be a Star in College and than the NBA.
***** I remember when Lebron was supposed to be the next big thing also
***** He's saying hype goes both ways.......the potential may become reality or it may not
Man, I am glad this kid has committed to UK.
Damn! Kat is now a beast too!!
Karl is gonna be good on uk! Can't wait
I like this kid. He's very well-spoken.
Dude has heart. I can see it in him.
loved the look on Cal's face when he drained that three. 0:47
Thats kinda cool that he played against Team USA and did pretty well
He can be an effective and versatile PF
it could be possible that an international player will be the 1st pick of the NBA draft for 3 straight years. Fucking Amazing!
Ken Agcaoili Towns was born in New Jersey and lived his whole life in the U.S. Only his parents are international.
Ken Agcaoili really? they just Canadians....
Hannibal his mother is Dominican and Karl and his father have even hung out with the Dominican team
Juan Vilorio he's talking about Wiggins and Bennett
bigweeknee55 he's going to minny
It's hard for me to get excited about a player who won't be here for another year. Karl Towns Jr. is going to be awesome.
#1 Pick
impressive young dude.
background music title? thanks.
Very good speaker , wish I spoke as proper lol
That's quite an experience.
KAT+Julius Randle will be too much for the NBA to handle.
wow very well spoken kid. not trying to be a thug is refreshing.
Kid is a 4.0 student, graduating a year early.
How is it refreshing? How have you been refreshed by his manner of speech?
Eric Argoni most guys don't act like thugs. don't stereotype my friend.
jj ww he's a pussycat
This kid sounds very intelligent hope he makes it
Dammm i did not Know Karl Anthony Towns was Dominican and Latino
Mashout! Because his mother is Dominican and already played for Dominican Republic
Maeka Yamamoto is mother is dominican and that a facts
prince kelvin His father is American and he was born and raised in New Jersey so He is American.
Happiness only real when shared we sayin he is part dominican why you hatin ma nigga
he was born in the dominican republic his nationality is dominican yall act like thats a race my parents are both dominican but i was born in america that makes me american smh
His father is my highschool basketball coach
definitely 1 and done though like almost every Kentucky player the last few years. Next year they have the #3,4,9, 11 and 13th ranked HS player and still have a shot at #1 Wiggins and the #2 kid.
he's well spoken
And now on his second year in the NBA the kid is the only player in the league averaging 24-12-3.
he was a freshman that year but from what I heard they re-graded him or something like that and now he's going to be a senior. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, b/c I dont want to play against him in my last 2 years
best center in the leagiue
I was at this game... had no idea who KAT even was
Why is his voice so high dang :0 but omg he is gonna be a boss in the NBA
He was a freshman in high school
he already committed
yea he committed to uk already
Lmfao at 2:19 the whole bench is laughing at Anthony Davis unibrow.
damn he aint even outta school and he's playin professionals
called it 6 months ago, kids going to the celtics, him and Smart are going to create a new era destiny all on their own, similar to shaq and kobe.
cough cough minnesota
knicks will probably do worse and probably pick him up before the celtics if we don't get 1st
Anthony Oo im like 1000% positive Towns won't go to a team that purposely tanked for a pick like the knicks. no one wants to play for them, so instead of taking a player who doesn't want to play for them theyll likely trade back.
rickOshay why would he wanna leave the knicks lol..

Karl Anthony towns was 16 years old on that video
this kid is going to be goood
At 1:00 the brow be like: Where's the 3-point play drawn for me when I was in Kentucky, huh??!! I told you I could hit 3s!! This is what you got for not setting up that play!!!
He is. He committed the other day.
who is karl towns
he just announced hes reclassifying so he can graduate 2014 and play for kentucky
That shoe
and,how does he play??if he don't speack spanish?
Everyone on the team speaks English.
yo... from 2:28 to 2:35 bruh was going BAD on his eye!! LOLOLOLOL
I know it is a very dumb question, but can anyone tell me why didn't he play for the US?
It's kind of a challenge to play for the US national team. They only scout NBA players because they want the absolute win. Towns was a sophomore in Highschool in this vid. He was pretty good when he was young and is doing good today. Definitely deserving of the number 1 pick

Knicks will draft this kid book it
If he is stil available lmao #2 pick suck #LAKERGANG
562KobraGT LOL
I Am Me Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...............
he was a 6`3 guard until his junior year of hs lol
I know Parker is going to Duke. Rivals150 has Parker at #3 now. 1 is Andrew Wiggins 2 Julius Randle. I could have been looking at a different list since it had said Kentucky was getting 3 4 9 11 and 13 and if Parker is 3 its a different list.
Sounds like he can also be a pro at WoW. HOPE LAKERS GET HIM.
1:26 holy shit russ is an elevator
So that's why Cal coached the DR
HE IS GOING TO CHANGE TO LSU OR GEORGE MASON - GEORGE MASON has a number of coaches who can help him get his GAME AND ATTITUDE TO THE TOP.
Callipari is Puerto Rican?
2015 1st overall pick.
Wait a minute, at 0:21 did he say "afletes"?? In the English language the word Athletes does not have an F in it. As far as I know.
Dickhead he has a Dominican accent
+Eddy Belliard I've been to the Dominican Republic MANY times. My wife is DOMINICAN! I've been around DOMINICANS for 15 years, and I have NEVER heard ANY Dominican pronounce athletes like that! The only people that pronounce athletes with an F are people with a lisp or retards! DICKHEAD!!

+Eddy Belliard You got that right my friend, including me!
Yeah

Owen Theodore Hammerle-Muller lol
drumslanga352 bbahahaha! lets just laugh at the guy. LAKE SHOW #2 pick baby
drumslanga352 lmao high five we got #2 !!!
drumslanga352 lol
Owen Theodore Hammerle-Muller CLUCK
OR NAAAAH
nah nope. Anthony Davis' potential is off the charts. And he hasn't even put on weight.
1st pick no doubt!!
Look at 0:19 his voice change!! lol
#2 is Jabari Parker and is already commited to Duke.
Seeing Anthony Davis from a different angle makes me realize how fucking LONG this kid is.
isnt him like 17?
Kinda reminds me of Tim Duncan for some reason...not his play per se but something else.
ayy Lakers will get the new superstar
Dumb laker fans forgot who got number one pick
You just can't admit the fact that KAT isn't going to your Lakers
Dat Kobe Fan I'm a Laker fan too, but let's be a little realistic here. Towns is going to the Wolves. Okafor or Russell is coming to LA. Oh and you can't call people retarded and use "your" instead of you're and then you misspell Okafor. As a Laker fan, I apologize for idiot fans like this one.
***** we'll see what goes down
If the wolves don't get him first
