The New York Knicks are very happy they signed Karl-Anthony Towns in the offseason.
Any questions about how well he’d do with the team have been silenced, and Towns is clearly a great fit with the Knicks.
When compared to other Eastern Conference centers, Towns is beating everyone, according to StatMuse.
He is the first in points made per game, the first in rebounds, and the first in three-pointers made.
This may end up being his best season yet, and he is obviously very happy playing with his new team.

Towns is averaging 26.7 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, shooting an average of 2.6 threes.
He is now leading his team in points and rebounds per game, which is exactly what the Knicks wanted from him.
In a short amount of time, Towns has become a vital part of the Knicks’ plans and plays excellently with all of his teammates.
Some people feel he is attempting to get his revenge on the Minnesota Timberwolves and prove why they were silly to let go of him in the summer.
Others feel he is getting more opportunities in New York and feels more respected and valued by his new team.
Whatever the reason, Towns is playing amazing basketball, and the Knicks are benefiting from that.
They are the third team in the East with a 9-6 record and have won four games in a row.
The Eastern Conference has several very talented big men, but Towns is rising above all of them.
The better he does, the better his team does, and that is why New York fans are so elated they have him.
