player. 86. <p>The Minnesota Timberwolves won the lottery this year and there might not have been a better time for them to do so. With all the young talent they have acquired these past two seasons, it’s hard to imagine a future in the NBA where they aren’t a legitimate threat in the league.</p>
<p>Winning the lottery is nice, but it won’t matter if they end up blowing all their cash on worthless goods. They won’t be wasting anything on Karl-Anthony Towns with the No. 1 overall pick. Towns has everything you could ever want in a rim protecting big man. He can block shots, guard a back-to-the-basket post player, and even run some pick and roll stuff that will be useful next to Ricky Rubio in Flip Saunders’ offense.</p>
<p>If Towns goes to Minnesota, I could see the Timberwolves becoming a dominant team in the NBA barring any injury. Andrew Wiggins is a stud whose best years are in front of him. If Towns pans out like I believe he will, they will be scary good in the future.</p>. C. Kentucky. Karl-Anthony Towns. 1
