Comparing Timberwolves’ Karl Anthony Towns to Kevin Garnett

Karl-Anthony Towns had a phenomenal rookie season; no one can argue that.

Towns spent his rookie season under the wing of NBA legend Kevin Garnett after KG came back to the Timberwolves the previous year. The goal was to get the band back together under Flip Saunders, with the veteran coach assisting the young arsenal of athletes coming into the program.

With the draft and early success of Karl Anthony-Towns, eyebrows around the league are being raised.

There are a lot of similarities between Towns and Garnett, yet there are just as many differences. Garnett was a big story coming into the NBA in 1995; he was a high school superstar.
