Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns Prioritizing Personal Stats?
The most damning evidence lies in Towns' flat usage rate. In 2023-24 with Minnesota (sixth seed), Towns operated at a 27.4% usage rate while averaging 21.8 points and 3.0 assists. In 2024-25 with the Knicks (third seed), his usage stayed virtually identical at 27.3%, yet scoring jumped to 24.4 PPG while assists barely moved to 3.1 APG.
