Who needs to step up for Timberwolves in Karl-Anthony Towns' absence?

In the NBA, it's never a challenge to find players who are willing to accept the added responsibility of taking more shots. That's where the Timberwolves are in the wake of Karl-Anthony Towns' torn meniscus, which will keep him out for at least four weeks after he has surgery. The Wolves will have to find a way to compensate for the 22.1 points on a true shooting percentage of 62.8%. True shooting percentage takes into account the value of threes and free throws.

Among high-volume offensive players, that is one of the most efficient numbers in the league.
