Kendrick Perkins praises Karl-Anthony Towns 

Karl-Anthony Towns has had an impressive NBA career, shooting 52.4% from the field and 39.8% from the 3-point line. However, his shooting efficiency has often been underappreciated due to his team’s lack of success in the playoffs until Anthony Edwards arrived.

Kendrick Perkins has however taken notice of Towns’ impressive performance in the 2024 playoffs, and recognized him as a top talent in the league. Perkins believes Towns’ name should be mentioned alongside other elite big men like Anthony Davis, and cited his impressive skills on both ends of the floor.

He's in the same conversation with Anthony Davis. He's a Top 5 talent in the NBA. One of the most skilled bigs in the NBA, especially on the offensive end.
