Karl-Anthony Towns – Minnesota Timberwolves

With Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, and Rudy Gobert all being high-level centers looking to make the All-NBA team, the chances of Karl-Anthony Towns being named an All-NBA talent could be slim. 

However, he is certainly deserving of consideration, especially since he is the best player on the Minnesota Timberwolves and has them in a prime position to claim an outright playoff spot this season. 

Currently 31-28 on the season, the Timberwolves are just 2.5 games back from the 6-seeded Denver Nuggets and are going to be a tough team to face in the playoffs simply because of their high-scoring trio in Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and D’Angelo Russell. 

This season, Towns is averaging 24.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and is shooting 40.9% from three-point range. Ranking 19th in the league in three-point shooting percentage, Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the most versatile scoring big men in the league and is finally turning production into winning for his team.

The Timberwolves have been having a really solid season to this point and Towns has already been recognized for this, as he was selected for his third All-Star appearance of his career this year, his first appearance in the All-Star Game since the 2018-19 season. 

At 26-years-old, Karl-Anthony Towns is just reaching the peak years of his career and has solidified himself as a Top-5 center in this league. Should the Timberwolves be able to claim a Top-6 seed in the Western Conference, Towns should absolutely get All-NBA attention.
