At this time last year, the only topic around Karl-Anthony Towns was a positive.
WHEN (not if) will he ink his 5-year super max extension and further vault himself as a face of the franchise’s resurgence alongside Anthony Edwards?
The Minnesota Timberwolves had won their most games since 2017-18, and the leader of that charge was coming off of his second All-NBA and third All-Star selection.
The lede from last year’s season review of KAT echoed this as well:
Karl-Anthony Towns stamped himself as one of the truly elite NBA players in his seventh season as a franchise cornerstone of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
