#7 Karl-Anthony Towns

Houston Rockets v Minnesota Timberwolves - Game Four
Houston Rockets v Minnesota Timberwolves - Game Four

Towns played the best basketball of his life last season, helping the Minnesota Timberwolves stay afloat in a playoff berth following injury to Jimmy Butler in late February. Towns ranked 14th among all players in field goal percentage for the 2017-18 season, converting 54.5% of his attempts.

The truly mind-boggling stat, however, is his 3-point percentage: Towns ranked 6th among all players with a conversion rate of 43.8% from downtown at one point, and finished at a percentage of 42%. He is also a really good free throw shooter, ranking 2nd among all centers with a conversion rate of 85.3% from the charity stripe.

Towns was the first center to average over 40% from 3-point territory. In addition, he is also the only player to post totals of over 100 3-pointers and 1000 rebounds in the regular season in the history of the league.

A bad playoff campaign, however, has relegated him to the #7 position on a list that he is on track to rise higher on by the end of the season.
