The trade to New York had been a massive surprise due to the fact that the Timberwolves are coming off a year where they reached the Western Conference finals for the first time in 20 years.

Towns has been fantastic since joining the Knicks, as he is now averaging 25.0 points, 14.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 blocks per contest while shooting 53.5% from the field and 46.1% from the three-point range in 25 games.
