The Minnesota Timberwolves have a star in the making in 2015 first overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns, who should pair well with the reigning Rookie of the Year in Andrew Wiggins.
Towns is still quite raw, and like most rookies, he will likely struggle to adjust to the speed and physicality of the NBA game. But the 7-footer has the potential to become a dominant two-way presence when he hits his prime.
The talented 19-year-old has shown his potential early in the preseason, netting a double-double against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Towns finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds in 23 minutes - and also threw down this thunderous slam around a helpless Nikola Mirotic.
