2016/17 Averages: 25.1 Points, 12.3 Rebounds, 1.3 Blocks

Despite the West being as loaded as it is, Towns should make it. His numbers last season were more than good enough to make the team. The main reason why he missed out was that the T-Wolves didn't have a good record. Now, with Jimmy Butler in tow, expect the Wolves to probably get the 5/6th seed in the West.

Towns has the potential to be one of the best players in the League and he's already one of the premier scoring big men, scoring both in the post and from 3. One thing holding him back, however, is his lack of defense. Towns struggled a lot on defense last season, but that is expected of a guy in just his 2nd year. Expect him to improve on those numbers this season.
