Karl-Anthony Towns could be the best participant discussed so far, especially when accounting for the fact he is still just 23 years old.
He’s going to average at least 21 points and 12 rebounds for the third time in four seasons. Just 15 players during NBA history have done. Add a triple that is nightly to the mix, and it’s four total for every player present and past and Towns with three seasons. This isn’t just volume splashing. Since the start of 2016-17, his 39.8 three-point percentage is 14th highest among gamers with 300-plus makes.
Coming from the All-Star break, Towns has established himself. Over his past seven outings, he’s averaged 35.1 points, 14.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 59.7 percent from the field and 48.9 percent from range.
“It’s only joking,” Timberwolves rookie Josh Okogie stated, per The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski. “We are all seeing it.”
But Minnesota’s challenge is finding someone who can ascend alongside Towns. Andrew Wiggins is a volume scorer. The remainder of the roster is comprised of youngsters or aging vets who figure to top out as role players.
