NBA All-Star Saturday Night Grades

Karl-Anthony Towns—A+

The number one overall draft pick for the Minnesota Timberwolves had a victory for big men everywhere when he defeated Isaiah Thomas in the Skills Challenge.

He had to work for it as he defeated early favorite Draymond Green in the first round and DeMarcus Cousins in the second round.

The championship round came down to the wire as both he and Thomas were perfect in dribbling, passing, and tied in going for the lay-up.

Ultimately, it was the three-point shot that decided it as both shot several before Towns was finally able to drain his shot before Thomas.

Before the shot even went in, his fellow big men were on the court and celebrated his victory showing that it was more about team than individual pride for the forwards them to defeat the guards who have taken over the league.
