Karl-Anthony Towns

Year one in New York. Spotlight on. Karl-Anthony Towns delivered. In his first season with the Knicks, Towns brought elite production and veteran leadership to the heart of Madison Square Garden. He averaged 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, and over 3 assists per game while shooting better than 42% from deep—stretching defenses, finishing in traffic, and owning the glass. He played through pain, suited up for the big games, and helped power New York to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years. Game after game, Towns was a reliable scoring engine and a perfect frontcourt complement to Jalen Brunson’s perimeter brilliance. From the first roar at MSG to the final moments of a deep playoff run, Towns showed exactly why the Knicks bet big on his arrival. Big shots. Big boards. Big season.
