Analyzing Karl-Anthony Towns’ Resurgent Season in the Post

After missing much of the 2022-23 season due to a hamstring injury, Karl-Anthony Towns has returned to looking like the Minnesota Timberwolves’ franchise player who has been selected to the All-NBA team twice. He is scoring 21.6 points per game on extremely efficient shooting splits of nearly 50-40-90, while also playing the best defense of his career.

One aspect of his game that has seen a revival is his play in the low post. While his touches in the post are down from his career highs from the 2016 to 2021 seasons, he is having his most efficient season down on the low block.
