One of the most exciting aspects of the Timberwolves’ trade earlier this week for basketball nerds was the potential of Karl-Anthony Towns along with Dario Saric.
Both are great shooters for their size and have unique play-making ability. Towns does a good job of recognizing cutters and Saric just sees things other players don’t see. While Saric didn't start alongside Towns in his first game with the Wolves, they will likely see more time together once Saric picks up on Minnesota’s offensive and defensive schemes. Whether or not that means Saric eventually becomes a starter has yet to be seen (Taj Gibson has said he's fine starting or coming off the bench), but Towns is excited about a play-making power forward and how it could help unleash each other.
