Interesting to look up Karl-Anthony Towns averaged only 10 pts, 6.7 rebounds a game as a college freshman. It's a good example that one has to try and predict whether the physical tools will translate or not and not rely on pure numbers. It gives me greater hope for someone like JJJ and of course Bamba. And those two guys are much better defenders than Towns. And both of them absolutely have the physical tools IMO. Bamba needs to add weight, but his upper body looks find to me and can likely add more muscle.
This sum up quote front nbadraft.net should put peoples' minds at ease about Bamba especially...

Overall: Bamba is truly an elite physical talent with a wingspan and standing reach that don't come along often ... He figures to be a capable rebounder and rim protector at the NBA level from day one. This alone gives him one of the highest floors in this draft, with an extremely high ceiling as well
