Karl-Anthony Towns Leaps Over Two Defenders For A One-Handed Tip Dunk

The most exciting part of this play alone isn’t what makes Karl-Anthony Towns a future superstar. No, there aren’t many seven-foot, 250 pounders capable of jumping over two opponents to flush an offensive rebound from the weak side.

But what separates the Minnesota Timberwolves youngster from other athletic, hyper-coordinated big men is his feel for the game. Just how did Towns get his hands on the ball here? By making a pin-point, cross-court pass after getting double-teamed in the post.

That’s a veteran move, and one every bit as encouraging for Towns’ future as the eye-popping highlight to follow.
