Seth Towns is an interesting prospect. Had 4 scholarship offers from Big Ten schools out of high school. He wasn't a diamond in the rough by any means. He was awarded the Ivy League POY as a sophomore. Ivy League has had some really good players. He can shoot the ball really well, and could probably fill the role as a stretch 4, should Hurt leave. You could argue that he's the best transfer on the market.
The problem is, Towns announced his intentions to transfer more than a month ago. And just a couple of days ago he tweeted that he'd be making his announcement this week. Seems a little late in the game. I think it might help that we're Duke - and his coach, Tommy Amaker, is a K disciple. But I'm not sure I like our chances when schools like Kansas, Ohio State, and Virginia have been pursuing him heavily. Also, we need to consider the fact that he's missed the past two years with injuries. All that being said, he has huge upside. Huge. I would absolutely take him.
