Karl-Anthony Towns

Karl-Anthony Towns was selected 1st overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2015 NBA Draft!



Towns really is a perfect fit the the Timberwolves, I couldn't be happier, he's got a terrific all around game.  I'm really loving the Timberwolves young nucleus.  The Wolves also traded their 2 second round picks to the Cavs to acquire Tyus Jones.  I love that move, Jones may not be the best athlete in the draft, but his basketball IQ is off the charts, he makes everyone else better and he's not afraid to take the big shot.  He will be a perfect fit as Ricky Rubio's back up.  A few more tweaks and the Wolves will be set.

The Suns drafted Kentucky OG Devin Booker with their first round pick.  He was apparently one of the best shooters available in the draft and with the way the game is changing that's a valuable commodity to have.  Still, it's not a move that moves the needle for me, he's a long way from contributing major minutes.  In the second round, the Suns picked Booker's college teammate Andrew Harrison, and almost immediately dealt him to the Grizzlies for Jon Leuer. The Suns really seem mired in mediocrity, that's a spot that can be hard to get out of.
