Seth Towns (born November 5, 1997) is an American college basketball player for Harvard.
Towns is from Columbus, Ohio and attended Northland High School. He lost a close friend, Abou Diawara, to a drive-by shooting. He was recruited to Harvard by coach Tommy Amaker, who told him a Harvard degree would give him a platform that went beyond basketball and that he would be crazy not to come to Harvard.[1]
Towns led the Crimson in scoring with 15.8 points per game as a sophomore while also contributing 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. He shot 49.3 percent of his 3-point attempts in Ivy League play and led Harvard to a share of the regular season championship. At the conclusion of the regular season Towns was named Ivy League Player of the Year, becoming the third sophomore to receive the honor.[2] He scored 24 points and 12 rebounds in the Ivy League semifinal versus Cornell.[1]
