#4 Karl-Anthony Towns - Minnesota Timberwolves

Golden State Warriors v Minnesota Timberwolves

Watch out for him!

Unlike many of the players on this list, the 21-year old Karl-Anthony Towns is a true 7-footer and there isn't one thing the others can do that he can't.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, who have the longest active Playoff drought, couldn't have asked for a better franchise cornerstone. Towns, in just his second season, averaged 25.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 blocks while shooting a super-efficient 54.2% from the field and 83.2% from the free-throw line.

First off, averaging those kinds of numbers in your second year is amazing. To put the cherry on the cake, Towns shoots really well from the free throw line and his field goal percentage is also marvelous given the number of jumpers he tends to take in a game.

He's probably just No. 4 because of his short career. If he continues to average and put up such numbers consistently over the next few years, expect him higher on this list next year.
