A first impression from the Hopkins High School gym Wednesday morning: All that work Karl-Anthony Towns has done with his three-point shot is paying off.
There he was, locked in a shooting contest with Maddyn Greenway, the grade-school daughter of Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway. A number of contestants had been whittled to Towns and Maddyn. It was the first day of Towns’ ProCamp, which attracted nearly 200 kids from grades 1-12.
One after another Maddyn — shooting 5-footers — took on Towns, shooting threes.
Showing no mercy, Towns prevailed.
“She gave me a run for my money,” said Towns, the Timberwolves center/forward and reigning NBA rookie of the year.
