NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns was the No. 1 overall draft pick in last year’s draft and was crowned on Monday, May 16, as the league’s top rookie.
The Minnesota Timberwolves center was unanimously chosen—received all 130 votes—by sportswriters and broadcasters in the United States and Canada as this year’s best rookie. He is the fifth rookie to be chosen unanimously in NBA history.
His presence resulted in helping the Northwestern division team win 13 more games than it did last season.
