Is KAT one of the 10 best players in the league this year?

He's gotten a lot of disrespect over the years but this year the TWolves are winning and KAT has a TS ADd 0f 196.7. The team as a whole only has a 95.3 so according to that measure at least, this looks like an impressive carry job. Where would you rank him in the league in terms of impact on winning this year?

I'll say yes without looking at a list of potential top 15 players.

Yes. He’s surpassed AD this season and ranks as the 4th best big behind Embiid, Jokic and Giannis.

Towns is still young and can develop.

If you don’t think he’s top 10. I see him next year as Lebron, Harden, Durant and Curry continue to age and decline

Not for me, he's my 11-12 I think.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.
