Hoop Group Pittsburgh Jam Fest Recap

Posted Apr 23, 2012
Here's a look at some of the standouts from the weekend: Karl Towns, 2015, Sports U 16s: There's a reason Towns is one of the top players in the class of 2015. The 6-foot-10 forward is extremely long and has very good instincts on the defensive end. He blocks shots out of his area, and rotates well for help defense. Offensively, he's becoming more aggressive and showed off a versatile game. Towns stepped out and hit a couple 3s, and also demonstrated post moves. (CBS Sports)
