Overview

• Brown said Towns will not be stationed solely at center, with roles in the corners, on the wings, and as a push man to showcase his shooting and mobility.
• When Towns plays the five, Brown plans to use him at the elbow as a passer and decision-maker to diversify the offense.
• Towns indicated Brown wants Jalen Brunson used more off the ball in a Curry-like way to generate cleaner looks, a shift from last season’s isolation-heavy approach.
• Reporting suggests Towns may spend more time at power forward with the possibility of Mitchell Robinson starting regularly, though that alignment is not confirmed.
• Towns dismissed offseason surgery rumors and appeared fully active in camp, reinforcing his central role after an All-Star, All-NBA season.
