The third-year big simply didn't have as many rebounding opportunities as usual against a hot-shooting Jazz squad and while dealing with Rudy Gobert down low, but he continues to be an elite asset across all formats during the remaining games of the regular season as the Timberwolves continue to battle for their playoff lives.","date":"Sun Apr 1"},"fullName":"Karl-Anthony Towns","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Towns added a 3-point shot to his repertoire in 2016-17 (he made 13 more than he attempted in 2015-16), but that didn't result in him settling for jumpers, as his average distance of FGA actually dropped. His venture out to the perimeter will likely continue, given the draft-day trade for Jimmy Butler (Zach LaVine shot 62 more 3-pointers than Butler last season despite playing 29 fewer games), but Towns seems focused on blending jump shots into his game, as opposed to relying on them. KAT is as reliable as any player in the league, considering that he has yet to miss a game in his NBA career and that he ranked behind only James Harden in double-doubles last season.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Wed Aug 23"},"playerRater30DAY":11.1,"playerRater15DAY":9.7,"positionRank":1}
