Wolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns' all-around game gets even better
SID HARTMAN @SidHartman
Coming off last season's playoff appearance — their first in 14 years — the Timberwolves started this season with high expectations.
But the season has been filled with drama — Jimmy Butler's demands, his holdout in training camp and his eventual trade to the 76ers. The drama continued this week with the firing of coach and president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau.
One positive for the Wolves throughout the season has been the play of forward Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns is averaging 22.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, three assists and 1.9 blocks per game. Over the past eight games, Towns is averaging 27.3 points, 16 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.
