3. Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves

Karl-Anthony Towns has been playing like a monster since entering the NBA a few years ago.

The acquisition of Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague has hindered his stat sheet as of late, but overall, Butler will help Towns on his defensive grit.

He has all the intangibles for defense, just may need to hit the weight room some more. Offensively, Towns may have the highest ceiling on this list, which gives him a huge upside bringing him to number three.

The NBA has been guard heavy in recent years, but we have a lot of big men coming. Funny enough, Kevin Love is an interesting comp for KAT.

Don’t let another one go, Timberwolves.
