8. Karl-Anthony Towns — New York Knicks

A move to New York for the former No. 1 overall pick means a move back to center. Towns shifted to power forward for the last two years following Rudy Gobert’s arrival. While Minnesota’s jumbo lineup gave some teams problems out West, it wasn’t the best configuration for Towns’ skillset. Now surrounded by guards and wings with the Knicks, Towns can utilize his speed to zoom past flat-footed centers. He’s always been an excellent shooter who is just under 40-percent from three over his career. Additionally, playing next to an ascending Anthony Edwards proved that Towns can still be effective as a second option. He’ll be just fine next to Knicks star Jalen Brunson.
