A seven-footer who can drain threes like a guard - he won the league's three-point contest in 2022, the first center to do it. That range paired with his post game made him Minnesota's franchise cornerstone for nine years, then the piece that finally brought the Knicks a title after half a century.

Born November 15, 1995, Karl-Anthony Towns Jr. played for the Dominican Republic national team at 16, then one college season at Kentucky before the Timberwolves took him first overall in 2015. He won Rookie of the Year and climbed to second on Minnesota's all-time scoring list, a six-time All-Star who finally dragged the franchise to the Western Conference finals in 2024 after a 20-year drought. The Timberwolves traded him to New York before the 2024-25 season. Two years later, he helped the Knicks win the 2026 NBA Finals - their first championship in 53 years.
