What It Means:

Last season, Towns went from taking 1.1 threes per game in 2015-16 to making 1.2 on 3.4 attempts per outing. He shot 36.7% from three while hitting 58.2% of his shots from inside the arc, leading to a team-high 25.1 points per game.

In his 3rd year in the league, it appears that Towns is poised for a true breakout. Through 3 preseason games, he's made 7-of-9 three-point attempts and has 47 points in 71 minutes. According to our models, Towns is just in regular season form, as he's projected for 23.0 points on 52.7% from the field and 1.3 treys per on 34.5% shooting. He is set to be a top-5 fantasy asset this season and, on average, is going with the 6th overall pick in standard Yahoo! drafts.
