Karl-Anthony Towns was undisputably selected First Overall ahead of talented players like D'Angelo Russell, Kristaps Porzingis and Jahlil Okafor. It's a testament to how much better Towns seemed talent-wise than the rest of his Draft class to the NBA executives.

Many Pundits expected him to make an immediate impact for the Minnesota Timberwolves and some even expected him to be a superstar in the league by his sophomore season.

The Kentucky Alumnus did not disappoint as he had a stellar Rookie campaign, averaging a double-double over the course of an entire season to take home the honors of Rookie of the Year unanimously ahead of New York Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis.

A center with the skill-set of a guard, Towns was invited to participate in Skills Challenge during the All-Star weekend, which he won against point guard Isaiah Thomas.
