Kentucky freshman star Karl-Anthony Towns has been named a first team Preseason All-American by USA Today Sports.
Karl-Anthony Towns, F, Kentucky
Kentucky has one of the deepest rosters in recent memory, so don’t be surprised if Towns does not amass gaudy statistics. Just consider the stature of this 250-pound 18-year-old: He’s 6-11 with a 7-31⁄2 wingspan and a 9-5 standing reach. Then consider the skill set of the 2014 Gatorade National Player of the Year: agile and versatile with the ability to face up, drive and pass with precision. Unlikely to be in college beyond one season, Towns will be coveted by NBA teams in the spring.
