The Kentucky Wildcats have been a stepping stone for several of the NBA’s best big men. From DeMarcus Cousins earlier in the decade to Karl-Anthony Towns now and with Anthony Davis in between, the Cats have consistently held many of the league’s top centers.
As for KAT, his lone NBA home has been Minnesota, but that may be changing up soon for the 27-year-old. Standing 6-foot-11, Towns has developed an efficient three-point shot and is also among the best rim protectors in the league.
There isn’t much the versatile big man can’t do, but his Wolves haven’t been great, having lost 4-1 to the Nuggets in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
