Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Rated 88 overall, Karl-Anthony Towns is an All-Star calibre center in Backcourt — inside the top 6% of the whole player pool.

His best fit is the Stretch big role, which pulls opposing bigs out of the paint with his outside shot. His three-point (91), mid-range (88) and rebounding (92) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.

For a center, his standout attributes are three-point (91) and mid-range (88), both in the top 5% of centers.

Build the rotation around him, but cap his minutes near 34 in ordinary weeks and save the heavy nights for the Cup and the playoff race. A stamina of 85 lets him carry more than most.

At 30 he is at or past his peak, so his value is in the seasons he is playing now.

He earns $53.1M a season with a transfer value of $76.5M — expensive for what he delivers.
