Karl Towns, Devin Booker poised for breakout seasons

Debatably, the top two rookies in the NBA in the 2015-2016 season were Minnesota's Karl Anthony-Towns and Phoenix's Devin Booker.

Obvious Kentucky fan favorites, the two absolutely exploded onto the scene, furthering Kentucky's current dominance of the NBA. It's only a matter of time before both of these guys solidify themselves as NBA superstars, then maybe even NBA legends. Their breakouts could come as early as next season.

That's why we're seeing both players being commonly listed in 'breakout candidates' articles throughout the interwebs. Booker came in as the Sporting News' No. 1 candidate for a breakout 2016-17 NBA season.
