Karl-Anthony Towns stamped himself as one of the truly elite NBA players in his seventh season as a franchise cornerstone of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The three-time All-Star delivered a resurgent 2021-22 campaign during which he averaged 24.6 points on 52.9/41.0/82.2 shooting splits, 9.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists to 3.1 turnovers, and 2.1 stocks in 33.5 minutes per game across 74 regular season contests.
Towns was rewarded with his second Third Team All-NBA selection (making him eligible for a supermax extension) and third All-Star selection, which he parlayed into becoming the 2022 3-point contest champion and the first big man to win the award since former Timberwolf Kevin Love won in 2012.
