That's because he is. Low stamina, low endurence but boy, does he know how to position himself to get stats.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Towns stat stuffing is laughable. Id take any player that can put up those numbers. 3blocks per and 16 rebounds tells me he has been pretty active on D.

Karlito. That was okay. It was like a less annoying version of Little Penny.

while it's not nearly as good across the board, should note that wiggins in the past 5 games has also gone:

27 ppg
4 rpg
3.2 apg

No one has blocked more shots in the league since the start of December than KAT.

Last 10 games:

+17.1 netrtg

Yeah, stat stuffing is only sometimes negative and only related to points.

27/27/4


5 players have done that in the history of the NBA (since they started counting blocks, Wilt probably averaged it for a season or two...)

Kareem (2x)
Elvin Hayes
Bob McAdoo
Dikembe Mutombo
Karl-Anthony Towns



Esoteric and random stat, to be sure. But kinda cool.

So Porzingis wasn't extended by the Knicks... Thoughts? Good pairing with KAT?

I love KAT, I wouldn't mind him not getting the all nba team deal though in favor of Jokic/Embiid/Davis. Save some $$$

The Butler effect. Towns a little more efficient on less shots (usage too). Since 11/12/18....
24ppg (27 Embiid)
13rpg (13)
3apg (3)
2bpg (2)
1spg (1)

Embiid's stats have gone down since the arrival of Butler.

Towns grades out pretty good when you consider Embiid is #2 in the league in usage rate and Towns is somewhere in the 30s. According to the analytics article posted last week, BPM is a pretty good indicator and Towns is outperforming Embiid there.
