The 28-year-old is already a proven star, having been the Rookie of the Year, a four-time NBA All-Star, and a two-time All-NBA selection. Towns is not the traditional center that Hartenstein was for the Knicks, who mainly focused on rebounding and defense. He’s a stretch big who likes to score from the perimeter, shooting 41.6% from the 3-point line last season for the Wolves.
Brunson, who finished top-five in MVP voting last season, is expected to have another remarkable year. The guard averaged 28.7 points and 6.7 assists per game in the 2023-24 season. He’s predicted to lead the team once again in scoring and assists, but the main question is, will he take it even further, averaging nearly 30 points per game again, or will it become lower, given the new additions of Towns and Mikal Bridges will also be able to provide scoring.
