His efforts have been instrumental in the team’s 14-8 start, tied with the Knicks for the league’s top offense. He and Brunson have formed one of the league’s most formidable duos, and it looks like the trade has paid off for New York.
If these positive trends for Towns continue, he’ll definitely make the All-Star team and possibly the All-NBA team. An MVP award is also not out of the question, although he’ll have a tough time beating out some of the other top talents ahead of him.
Regardless, it’s a huge plus for the Knicks to see their biggest offseason acquisition receive the league’s most prestigious award.
