Karl-Anthony Towns is the reigning Rookie of the Year for good reason. The shifty, multi-talented Minnesota Timberwolves big man moves like a guard, has a soft touch, and has the length to bother people on defense.
Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers found that out the hard way on Thursday night.
With the ball on the left wing, Towns had Embiid in a triple-threat position and eyes on the hoop. After a couple moves, Towns eventually got Embiid up in the air so he could drive around him.
Here’s what happened next:
