Who will have a better season this season — Karl-Anthony Towns or Ja Morant? ESPN’s top 100 rankings pose these type of questions, and they came to the conclusion that Towns will have the 23rd-best year in the NBA this season while Morant ranks 31st. So their answer is KAT. But when we expand the lens to consider the future, is KAT still the clear-cut answer?
On today’s pod, I dig into this topic, asking a league executive how Morant on Towns are viewed in the league’s hierarchy. Additionally, I run through my main observations from the Timberwolves second preseason game.
