Shocking Karl-Anthony Towns improvement that no one's talking about

With Mike Brown now running the show on the sidelines, everyone seems to be gushing over how much better this New York Knicks offense looks when compared to last season.

From their uptick in points per game to their wildly improved long-range shooting, it's evident that after years of being held back by Tom Thibodeau's old-school philosophies, New York's offensive punch has finally entered the 21st Century.

However, perhaps lost in the hype over their newfound scoring success is the fact that they're still a productive bunch on the defensive end. More surprising is that it seems big man Karl-Anthony Towns has actually upped his play on this side of the floor as well.
