Early Impressions of Karl-Anthony Towns at 2015 NBA Summer League

Drawing significant conclusions from NBA Summer League is always dangerous, but Karl-Anthony Towns has already shown why the Minnesota Timberwolves selected him with the first pick in the 2015 NBA draft.

Towns' greatest asset has always been his versatility as a player. He can knock down an open shot. He can overpower defenders in the post or finesse his way to a bucket. He can guard post players and slide his feet against quicker, face-up players, and he can help from the weak side and block shots.

Minnesota's coaching staff is still figuring out how to best utilize his bevy of skills.
