1. Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves

Karl-Anthony Towns isn’t any ordinary rookie. His PER of 22.91 ranks 15th among ALL PLAYERS in the NBA. That’s incredible for someone who’s in his first year playing professional basketball.

Some have suggested Towns is already among the 25-best players in the league and that’s not a crazy statement. In fact I find it true. There’s nothing that Towns can’t do and once those perimeter skills are consistently a part of his arsenal then he’ll emerge as a top player in this game.

The sky is literally the limit for Towns and I can’t wait to see him continue to develop over the years.
