Minnesota Timberwolves: Power Rankings: Oct.18 – Oct. 22
3. Karl- Anthony Towns
Weekly averages: 34.2 MPG – 21.7 PPG – 11.7 RPG – 1.3 BPG – 59.1% FG – 22.2% 3PT – 84.6% FT
Whether it is just him adjusting to his new role, or us expecting too much out of a 22-year-old, but Karl-Anthony Towns has been just slightly below his best to start this season off.
I mean, when you average over 20 points and 10 rebounds and still get labelled ‘below your best’ you know you’re a generational talent.
After putting up good numbers but seeming quite inconspicuous in the first two games, KAT erupted for 27 points and 12 rebounds on 11-17 from the field and 2-7 from 3-point land.
Including this sweet touch in the last minute of the game to give the Wolves the lead.

If Towns can continue this roll, he will have no trouble reaching his gaudy numbers that he posted last season, and may just rise in the power rankings at the same time.
