Karl-Anthony Towns is the best player on the Timberwolves roster, as he has been for many years. Now in his sixth season in the NBA, KAT has established himself as one of the best big men in the league and there's no denying that Minnesota should consider themselves lucky to have drafted Towns as the first overall pick back in 2015.
Statistically speaking, Towns had his best year as a pro in 2019-20, averaging a career-best 26.5 points (on 50.8 percent shooting), 10.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists (also a career-high), and 1.2 blocks per game. He also drained a career-best 3.3 triples per game on a highly-efficient 41.2-percent clip.
The one thing that also stands out for Towns is his durability -- at least early in his career. He did not miss a single game in his first three seasons, and he sat out just five of them in his fourth year. Last season, however, KAT was limited to just 35 games in the shortened season due to injury. He's also been in and out of the lineup in 2020-21, missing several weeks after testing positive for COVID-19.
