Karl-Anthony Towns eager to sacrifice to deliver Wolves a title, because he's been doing it his whole life

Towns believes he can flourish next to Rudy Gobert as Minnesota enters the season with high expectations

Karl-Anthony Towns has heard the question so many times over the past couple of months, at this point all he can do is laugh.

How is Towns, a 7-foot center, going to coexist with the Minnesota Timberwolves' newest acquisition, fellow 7-footer Rudy Gobert, in an NBA that's going increasingly small?

A chuckle. An eye roll. A pursed lip. They're all outward expressions of what Towns knows to be true: He has plenty of experience playing next to another big man.
