With Jimmy Butler out of the picture, the Timberwolves are now Karl-Anthony Towns‘ team.
The 22-year-old All-Star center’s Minnesota teammates, however, fully expect him to take on leadership duties.
[Anthony] Tolliver politely appeared to beg to differ. To him, Towns and Wiggins are leaders.
“What really matters is those guys understanding the responsibility of being max players,’’ Toliver said. “Being depended on every single night to bring a certain level of consistency. I think that both of them are very young. But it’s up to all of us around them to continue to bring them along on the consistency side, and on the responsibility side.
