1. U Got the Hook

If Prince saw Karl-Anthony Towns working in the post this year, he’d re-record his 1987 smash, “U Got the Look”.

Toward the end of the season, the Wolves slugged one out on the road against the Lakers. Towns started the game by abusing Julius Randle over the first three possessions.

Towns showed Randle the left hook, the right hook, and the step back.

Of course, Towns would end up with a 40 point 20 rebound game to lead the Wolves while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 40 points of his own, and the Wolves lost on a sloppy D’Angelo Russell three to end the game.

For Towns, it was just another spectacular outing in his post All-Star Game offensive and rebounding onslaught in which he posted 28.4 points per game (5th in the NBA) and 13.4 rebound per game (4th in the NBA) over that span.

Yes, Towns, U definitely Got the Hook.

And Towns is why Prince would be partying like it’s 1999 with the future that’s in store for the Timberwolves.
