NEW YORK — Evaluating the top 10 picks in Thursday's NBA draft:
1. Karl-Anthony Towns, center, Minnesota Timberwolves: Towns can play both ends of the floor. And while his defense is ahead of his offense, he can finish at the rim and has the skill set to become an effective offensive player.
ANALYSIS: Pick-by-pick grades
2. D'Angelo Russell, guard, Los Angeles Lakers: A bit of a curveball from the Lakers, who passed on a big man to take Russell, a 6-5 sharpshooter.
