Karl Towns is a 6'10" freshman getting looks from college teams
Posted Feb 14, 2012
The reason for Karl Towns’ popularity is obvious. He is a 15-year-old freshman who stands 6-foot-10. His size alone makes him a desirable commodity in the basketball world, but with averages of 11.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, there’s accelerated ability, too. A deadly outside shooter despite his size — his doctors say he may grow another 3 inches — recruiters are trying to get in early with one of the best high school prospects to come along in this state in years.
