As part of our Player Profile series, we will look at Karl Anthony Towns and his potential to become an NBA superstar.
KAT as he is known among the league, is coming off an impressive rookie season in which he he averaged 18.3 points per game and 10.5 rebounds per game to snag rookie of the year honours. Many have compared the young talent to Kevin Garnett due to his similar playing style and shooting ability as a big man. What is the ceiling for KAT? Its hard to gauge at this point, but all signs point to a future of perennial all star selections and MVP contention. Assuming he continues to develop and refine both his offensive and defensive game, the sky is the limit for this talented centre. He is a member of the up and coming Minnesota Timberwolves which includes fellow young talents Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine which will only further his development as this team looks to make their first playoff run in over a decade.
Projected 2nd season stats for KAT:
PPG: 21.2
RPG: 11.5
APG: 2.8
BPG: 2.1
SPG: 0.7
