Karl-Anthony Towns‘ college career was brief, but it was definitely impressive, and over the last few weeks the top propsect has informed teams that he won’t be working out for them. Based off our earlier reports, Towns was only meant to interview with the Timberwolves, however it seems he decided to commit to a workout for the team, who were fortunate enough to get a look at Towns up close and in person.
From Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press:
Kentucky big man Karl-Anthony Towns worked out for the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, less than a week before the Wolves pick first in the NBA draft.
Towns arrived in the Twin Cities on Friday night. He took a tour of the Wolves’ new $25 million practice facility and dined with owner Glen Taylor, President Flip Saunders and several other team officials.
Towns is considered the heavy favorite to be chosen No. 1 overall on Thursday night, and the Wolves are the only team he has worked out for during the pre-draft process.
Karl-Anthony Towns is the clear pick for the Timberwolves’ No. 1. Pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, but Minnesota also worked out the rest of the prospects who are slated to go near the top of the draft in Jahlil Okafor, D’Angelo Russell and Emmanuel Mudiay.
Towns averaged 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks while shooting just under 57 percent during one-year stint at Kentucky. Soon enough, Towns will be moving to the Land of 10,000 Lakes and getting ready to join a roster already budding with young talent.
