The New York Knicks traded Karl-Anthony Towns to give the team more star potential next to Jalen Brunson. While Towns has enjoyed a tremendous first season in the Big Apple, it's clear that he cannot lead a team on his own.

The arrival of Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks has significantly strengthened the team, especially in combination with Jalen Brunson’s leadership. This duo has been key to the Knicks' success this season.

Without Jalen Brunson on the court due to an ankle sprain, Karl-Anthony Towns has been the undisputed leader of the New York Knicks. Towns has recorded six straight double-doubles and will look to keep momentum building on Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden against the Philadelphia 76ers.
