#5 Karl-Anthony Towns
For a player who signed a supermax extension this season and made his first All-NBA team in three tries after being selected with the No.1 overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft to be named only No.5 on this list requires people to see things in the light that I'm viewing the Timberwolves through right now.

Towns is an obscenely unique talent – one that almost any NBA team would kill to build around.

Still just 22 years old, it’ll be fascinating to see the heights the big man can reach, especially given that he became the first player in league history to shoot at least 42 percent from three (min: 75 attempts) and block over 100 shots in a single season.
The only thing that's holding Towns down on our ranking is his really poor sense of defensive timing.
There are too many plays in a game when Towns bites on pump fakes or arrives at a shot block a tad too late to affect the shot, and this needs to change for him to rise further higher up this list.
