Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Karl-Anthony Towns has been a consensus top-25 player for years, and despite an injury-riddled 2020-21 campaign, he has maintained that status heading into the upcoming season.
Both ESPN and Sports Illustrated completed their player rank lists, and Towns was in a similar spot on each outlet’s respective rankings.

Last season, Sports Illustrated ranked Towns at No. 18 on their list. This was on the heels of a 2019-20 season that saw Towns injure his wrist and his knee and only appear in 35 of the Wolves’ 64 games on the pandemic-shortened schedule.
