Former Kentucky big men Karl-Anthony Towns and Willie Cauley-Stein impressed DraftExpress’s Jonathan Givony during a workout Monday in Los Angeles that didn’t come in front of NBA teams. Towns, projected as the No. 1 pick to Minnesota by DraftExpress.com, also impressed former UCLA star Don MacLean, who is running the workouts. “I’ve been doing this for 11 or 12 years pre-draft,” MacLean, the leading scorer in Pac-12 and UCLA history, previously told SNY.tv. “Because I had a lot of top 10 picks and a lot of really good players, I’m not really impressed or blown away. I had Towns all last week and I was blown away. Blown away. “A kid that big but shoots it that well but handles it that well and understands the game, that’s coachable, that wants to get better, wants to be great, I was blown away by him last week. “Am I a little biased? I’ve known Jahlil because I’ve done Adidas nations forever. Jahlil’s a great kid and a great player but I just think he doesn’t have as much to his game as Karl has.” As reported here, Towns is expected to meet with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers, but not workout for them. Cauley-Stein is projected to go No. 6 to the Sacramento Kings.Here's a smooth Willie Cauley-Stein Iso followed by an huge Karl-Anthony Towns dunk. pic.twitter.com/erVkAhCJAZ
