NBA ROLE: ELITE (NEW WAVE) PIVOT
A new wave archetype, Karl-Anthony Towns averages over 23 points & 11 boards w/ an elite FT conversion rate (82%) for his career – KAT is a legitimate stud & a clear ‘poster boy’ for the new age of bigs starting to enter the NBA; extremely skilled in multiple areas: Kat has a tremendous feel for the game – nasty scorer on the block, facing up & beyond the arc; does work with short hooks, in the mid-post, as a pick & pop shooter (easyyy money w/ his “no-jump,” stand still J) & shooter OTD; extended range to downtown over the last few seasons (2022 Three-Point Shootout champ!) – very accurate, good for at least a couple triples each night; on defense, Towns is still developing – though he’s an automatic, double-dight rebounder & solid shot-blocker, he could eventually become one of the league's best rim protectors* at his peak; DIFFERENT BREED-level talent – KAT presents a difficult matchup for every opposing big in the league; (more than) formidable big 3 ft. Anthony Edwards & Rudy Gobert: will it translate to winning on the highest level?; another (personal) gear to reach?; 3x All-Star, cornerstone in Minny: can KAT & the T-Wolves cross over into title territory in 2024?
