Karl-Anthony Towns leads the NBA in rebounds per game since the All-Star break. Here are the Top 5 single season performances in Minnesota Timberwolves history.

All across Minnesota there are signs saying “HELP: Rebounds Wanted.” Little boys and little girls are in the streets day and night searching for rebounds. But thanks to Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves, we are in a time of a rebounding shortage.

Towns has grabbed every Minnesotan rebound from Angle Township to Kiester.

In light of Towns’ recent tear on the glass, I dedicate this post to rebounding.

Over the last six games, Towns has averaged 17.5 rebounds per game.

The rebounding havoc started on Feb. 15 when Towns grabbed a then career-high 19 rebounds. Ten days later Towns re-wrote his own record, this time grabbing 22 rebounds against the Houston Rockets.

Heck, Towns has increased his rebounding average by 0.6 per game during this streak alone.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are young compared to most NBA franchises. That hasn’t stopped them from acquiring a couple of rebounding studs throughout the last 28 years.

As you may guess this list is full of dudes named Kevin. Where does Towns’ season stack up when compared to the Kevins? Will Towns’ season even make this top-five list?

Here is a look at the five most prolific rebounding seasons by Timberwolves players.
