I could watch this clip of Karl Towns owning Russell Westbrook all day
Another day, another Karl Towns highlight, right? Karl continues to show out in his rookie season, and made veteran Russell Westbrook look foolish on this play last night:

The Timberwolves eventually lost 101-96, but Towns finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, his 18th double-double of the season.
Right now, Towns is shooting 53% from the field and 85% from the free throw line, which puts him in rare company. Justin Kubatko crunched the numbers and the last rookie to score 15+ points per game while shooting 50% FG/80% FT was Michael Jordan. I feel like stats like this come out every day, as do great pictures like this of a 13-year-old Karl posing with Steve Nash:
@timberwolves
Miss you, KAT.
