Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns ready for membership in rare club

Depending if those who decide such things are feeling generous in rounding numbers, Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns is currently in rarefied statistical air this season.

After Thursday's win over the Lakers, Towns is shooting 51.5% from the field, 42.1% from three-point range and 89.6% from the free-throw line.

Before Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, Towns' free-throw mark was better than 90%, which made him the only player in the league to average 50% from the floor, 40% from three-point range and 90% from the foul line (of those who had played over 800 minutes).

He went 9-for-11 from the line over the past two games, and those two misses were enough for the free-throw percentage to click down a little over 0.
