Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns has been named the unanimous choice for NBA Rookie of the Year for the 2015=16 season. For the second year in a row, Timberwolves fan are celebrating having the Rookie of the Year, and imagining all the success he’ll eventually have for someone else.

“Young talent’s just what we do,” said Ray Knudsen, a pipefitter from Apple Valley, MN, and long-time fan of the team. “Towns just had the best rookie year for a big man since Tim Duncan, and I just know that he’s going to do what Duncan did, and lead a team other than the Timberwolves to a title.”

At just 20 years old, Towns demonstrated an ability to pass, rebound, block shots and score from both the paint and the 3-point line, making him look like a blue-chip trading asset during the next Timberwolves rebuild.

“How high is the ceiling for this kid?” asked Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant. “He’s going to be an All-Star in this league for sure and–once he goes to a contender that’s one or two pieces away from the Finals–you can bet he’ll get his ring.”

The Timberwolves have a core of young talent which includes last season’s Rookie of the Year, Andrew Wiggins and a new coach in Tom Thibodeau, and NBA commentators are already projecting the team to getting swept from the first round next year, with many more years of getting as high as the 4th seed in the West and as far as the second round, with perhaps even the one or two ass-kickings in the Western Conference Finals before Towns leaves for a title in Los Angeles or wherever the super team for desperate vets is assembling in 2024.
