NBA Team of the Week (Jan. 8 - Jan. 14)

#Center- Karl-Anthony Towns

Karl Anthony Towns

Team Record: 4-0

Player stats in the week: 20 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 4.5 apg on 61% shooting, 58% from threes

KATMAN makes his appearance in our Team of the Week. Our second pick from the Timberwolves for the Team of the Week. With the week Minnesota had, they deserve to have 2 TOTW players. Towns' usage rate has dropped, he is scoring less than last year, but just behind half game than San Antonio Spurs, he won't mind it at all. His defense has been improving as of late, and if Thibodeau is able to make Minnesota an elite defensive team like he did with the Bulls few years back, then God save the league.

Other contenders for this position this week:

DeMarcus Cousins (3-1, 22 ppg, 13.3 rpg, 5 apg, 2.3 spg, 2.3 bpg)

Hassan Whiteside (3-0, 14.7 ppg, 13.3 rpg, 3.3 bpg)
