LOS ANGELES – About two hours before any Timberwolves game, Karl-Anthony Towns is easy to find — on the court for warmups, going through drills with assistant coach Kevin Hanson.
After Towns has taken his complement of three-pointers and run through some post moves, he and Hanson will go off to the bench and look at film in advance of that night’s game.
It’s similar to what Hanson used to do with the other All-Star-caliber big man in Sunday’s Timberwolves-Lakers matchup, Anthony Davis. It was Hanson who worked with Davis in New Orleans, helping mold the athletic abilities Davis had into a two-way force.
