Karl-Anthony Towns drops the hammer vs Grizzlies (Video)

Karl-Anthony Towns just tried to obliterate the rim against the Grizzlies on Saturday. 

If there is one thing that we have learned this NBA season, it’s that Karl-Anthony Towns was indeed worth all the hype that he was getting not only at Kentucky, but leading up to the NBA Draft last June where he was selected No. 1 overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Time and time again during his rookie season he’s shown that he’s one of the brightest young stars in the game.

Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, he gave us yet another shining example of his potential.

In the second quarter of this one Towns got the ball in transition and, well, he decided that it would be a pretty neat idea to see if he could tear down the rim.

He didn’t bring the rim down, but hey, you have to give him all the credit in the world for trying. He dropped an absolute hammer on the Grizzlies and that will stick out as one of the highlights of this entire night.

While the T-Wolves haven’t really been all that competitive this season, you can see that the talent is there on this team to eventually be a major player down the road.
