Nothing earth shattering. Towns still feels sorry for himself. Says all the right things. Ugh. I want to like KAT, he's so talented. I do believe he's made concessions and improved his all-around game, but when I hear him talk he makes it sound like he's something he's not. The funny thing is, unlike Edwards delusion, I think deep down Towns doesnt actually believe he is the man. I think he just says things that he thinks sound confident, which is why his sound bites never seem to land.

Towns is an interesting case.

- Corny.
- Whiny flailer.
- Some abysmal big-game performances.
- Seems sorta fake.
- Just not the most likeable.
- Such dumb mistakes. Repeatedly.

BUT...

- Gifted player.
- Never caused any off-court problems.
- Says all the right things.
- Willingly takes a second fiddle role.
- Main on-court facilitator for Gobert.
- Genuinely gets terrible whistle.
- Kept playing, despite near-constant turmoil for years, even when his coach sided with the guy who sabotaged an entire season while throwing Towns under the bus.

All in all... Timberwolves fans could have had it A LOT worse.
