When you’re a consensus top one or two pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, sometimes it’s easier to just rest on your previous body of work.
Whether it’s because he’s hiding an injury or simply feeling like he’s done enough, Karl Anthony-Towns has reportedly decided to not workout for any teams.
According to Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv, Towns won’t work out for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers or any team in the NBA for that matter.
Projected No. 1 draft pick Karl-Anthony Towns will interview with the top two teams in the NBA Draft lottery — the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers — but won’t workout for any teams, sources told SNY.tv. …
Towns is working out in Los Angeles with former UCLA star Don MacLean, who raved to SNY.tv about Towns’ potential and work ethic.
“I’ve been doing this for 11 or 12 years pre-draft,” MacLean, the leading scorer in Pac-12 and UCLA history, previously told SNY.tv. “Because I had a lot of top 10 picks and a lot of really good players, I’m not really impressed or blown away. I had Towns all last week and I was blown away. Blown away.”
Towns body of work at Kentucky got him to this point anyway. His interviews and the way he approaches the T’Wolves or Lakers will ultimately decide where he’s drafted.
