While it might technically be too late to advocate for Karl-Anthony Towns’ inclusion in the 2019 All-Star Game, it’s not too late to illustrate how worthy he is of earning a spot.
Towns is in the middle of arguably the best season of his young career—he’s averaging 22.8 points 12.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. He’s also shooting 50 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from three on a career-high 4.6 attempts from beyond the arc. Towns ranks No. 11 in the league in points, and Anthony Davis is the only center who has scored more points or averages more points per game.
