Karl-Anthony Towns is widely considered to best shooting big man in the league, and he is part of a solid Minnesota Timberwolves squad that has a high ceiling when fully healthy.
This season, Karl-Anthony Towns has been dealing with an injury that has kept him out for the majority of the Timberwolves’ season. The team’s performance has struggled as a result. Due to the team’s performance, there has been some speculation about a rebuild. Recently, Timberwolves insider Jon Krawczynski revealed that teams are monitoring Karl-Anthony Towns’ situation with the team, noting that there will be teams “knocking on the door” if the team decides to rebuild.
“Teams are already talking about it,” Krawczynski said on an episode of the Lowe Post podcast. “There’s no doubt that other teams are eyeing this situation and looking to see if KAT will become available…if the bottom falls out of this thing and they go forward that way, there are going to be teams knocking on the door.”
There is no doubt that it would be wild to see Karl-Anthony Towns get traded, but stranger things have happened in the league. He would help almost any team get over the hump, and we’ll see what happens in the future.
Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 20.8 PPG, 8.2 RPG, and 5.3 APG for the Minnesota Timberwolves prior to suffering a calf injury. His 3PT shooting has been poor, at 32.5%, but it is clear that the center was still having a solid year. Hopefully, we see him come back soon and show the world his talent once again.
Charles Barkley Hated The Timberwolves Pairing Rudy Gobert And Karl-Anthony Towns
Two big lineups are rare in the modern era, and teams have to have really specific situations to make them work. That is why Charles Barkley hated the Rudy Gobert trade for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“That’s because they got two 7-footers out there like idiots. Nice trade,” Barkley said after a Timberwolves game. “I hated that trade. They can’t play the pick-n-roll. It would’ve been fine in our day… they’re not dominating in the paint offensively or defensively.”
There is still a chance that this pairing could work out when both players are fully healthy. Rudy Gobert can make up for Karl-Anthony Towns’ shortcomings on the defensive end, and the same can be said for Towns toward Gobert on the offensive end.
Hopefully, we see the Minnesota Timberwolves make some noise in the coming years. They definitely have the talent to get far in the playoffs when fully healthy, and we’ll see what happens in the future.
