A certain Minnesota Timberwolves big man was the focal point of an article on The Ringer during this past week.
Danny Chau of The Ringer participated in the “Are we sure…” series at his website and was tasked with a write-up on Karl-Anthony Towns. The question posed: “Are we sure … Karl-Anthony Towns isn’t the best big man in the NBA?”
As someone who watches and covers the Wolves closely, my quick reaction is a simple “no”. But the argument isn’t crazy. And Chau does a good job making it.
The debate centers on Towns’ unique offensive game and the variety of ways in which he can score, plus his improvement on the defensive end of the floor and as a facilitator.
