1. Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves

Is there anything Towns can’t do?

Disclaimer: I feel like I’ve said that before but I can’t help myself. Every time I flip on the Timberwolves, Towns is doing something I didn’t know he could do. He handles the ball like a guard, posts up and drives to the basket, shoots threes, makes free throws, rebounds, plays defense and the list goes on and on.

He has a 21.2 Player Efficiency Rating, which ranks 27th in the entire league, and he’s only getting better.

Simply put, Towns is a monster and he’ll be the best player out of his draft class. Him and Andrew Wiggins have a bright future of putting the league on notice together.

Grade: A
