He's working on his mental game, and if he wants to step it up I'll challenge him to a game of Twilight Struggle. :P

It's fun during the offseason to go back and watch some of the better games of the season. This is one of the best:

Fun fact: Karl-Anthony Towns did something in this, his 54th game, that it took Kevin Garnett 289 games to accomplish (score 35 points).

Two of my favorite KAT plays

Announcer says Wolves really needed that... And Towns says "OK I'll take 2 instead of 3!"

KAT is already deadly shooter from midrange. He opens the paint for penetrations for Zach, Dunn and Wiggins who can finish around the rim. We need more consistency from Bjelica to be explore our athletic advantage in backcourt.

It looks like he is working on cleaning up his jab step. At least from those examples, it looks much shorter now, which should allow him to not get out of balance and be quicker into his shot or drive after the jab step.

As long as we have KAT things are going in the right direction. What a stud.

Did you guys see him during the Finals? He's just so comfortable with the media and on TV! Is there anything this KAT can't do?!

The kid was comfortable with a camera and a mic when he was 15. That's why you don't look just for athletic gifts and skill, but also high character guys with a good head on their shoulders.
