I'm seriously debating putting Karl Towns at PF?
I'd be selfish and ask anyone if you think that's a good idea...
It's doable. Towns is skilled enough to play the PF offensively and mobile enough to play PFs on defense.
.... but I like him more at center.
My thing is I don't want him defending very physical Centers that can draw a ton of fouls on him, or tax him too much physically by banging.
Not that he can't handle it, but if it means reducing his fouls and physical punishment, I might consider this depending on who's left on the board.
According to BB-Ref, he played 98% of his minutes at C last year and fouls/punishment were not an issue (only 3.4 fouls per 36 and he played a complete season at 32 mpg).
