Center: Karl Anthony Towns vs. Zaza Pachulia

Are you noticing a trend in this week’s Mid-week matchup?

It seems like, in most cases, one player has been overwhelmingly better than the other. This is another one of those cases.

Karl Anthony Towns is an absolute beast. So far this season, he is averaging 23.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. He has been Minnesota’s best player. He has the ability to score from anywhere on the floor. His handle looks like a point guard. He has done nothing to change the minds of NBA GMs since they decided they would take KAT to build their franchise around.

Zaza Pachulia is a filler. A guy who they needed to sign because they needed a cheap center. His most memorable play in a Warriors uniform is sliding under Kawhi Leonard’s foot after he went up for a shot and injuring him.

Another week, another win for KAT

Advantage: Karl Anthony Towns
