The Timberwolves All-Star center has become a one-dimensional jump shooter in the Western Conference finals as the Mavericks are one win away from a sweep.
, the season nearly lost and yet somehow, some way, Karl-Anthony Towns made it worse. This Western Conference finals has been a disaster for Towns, whose scoring has plummeted and shooting percentages have bottomed out.
—but more importantly, no one cares. Towns may be owning Minnesota’s off days, but in games, he is coming up woefully short. There are young faces in that Minnesota locker room, from Edwards to Naz Reid, Jaden McDaniels to Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Towns isn’t one of them. At 28, Towns is an elder statesman. His playoff résumé is thin, but after nine NBA seasons, he should know what it takes to succeed there.
Edwards is a superstar, Reid is on the rise and McDaniels is a ferocious perimeter defender. That trio isn’t going anywhere and Rudy Gobert, with two years left on his contract, is too tricky to trade. That leaves Towns. If Minnesota can’t win with him, the Timberwolves front office likely will look around to see if Towns can bring back players who can.
