With Butler demanding a trade and preferring a move to a major market, Towns pounced on the opportunity, not only securing the bag, but putting his mug out there to be the face of the Timberwolves franchise — and he’s only 22.

And rightfully so, KAT was robbed of an all-NBA second team selection last season after averaging 21.6 points and 11.7 rebounds per game on 54.5 percent shooting, including 42 percent from three and 86 percent from the free-throw line.

With those numbers and heaps of room for improvement, it’s accurate to say that the former No. 1 overall draft pick is just getting started.
