Minnesota Timberwolves: Top 3 individual performances from the 2018-19 NBA season

Karl-Anthony Towns November 9th, 2018 vs the Sacramento Kings

Karl-Anthony Towns scored a double-double on that night

Karl-Anthony Towns is the star center of the Minnesota Timberwolves. At 7’0 and 248lbs he brings an impressive array of talents to the basketball court. Since entering the NBA in 2015, he has averaged a double-double every season. In 2019 he produced 24.4ppg and 12.4rpg. He was an all-star in 2018 and 2019. Towns has also been named NBA Rookie of the Year in 2016.

It was hoped by Minnesota’s management that he and Andrew Wiggins could gel and form a solid nucleus to build the team around. After 4 years together, it just hasn't worked yet. However, Wiggins is just 23 years old and Anthony-towns is the same as well.

On November 9th, 2018 which began a string of three consecutive games in which the big man recorded double-doubles, Anthony Towns was outstanding. In a loss to the Sacramento Kings, he scored 39 points, grabbed 19 rebounds - nine of which were off the offensive glass, he shot 40% from long range, and 55.6% from the field overall.

When and if he and Wiggins figure out how to elevate their games and become complete players, Minnesota may become a fearsome team in the near future.
