KAT is currently averaging 22.2 on 50.3-41.8-91.1 shooting splits, while Naz is averaging 12.6ppg on 51.4-40-90.6 shooting splits.

This is not a post crowning either of them as the newest members of the 50-40-90 club; it's really early in the season and is kind of an arbitrary mark to begin with. Just a few days ago, Halli was also at 50-40-90. There's no guarantee that either Naz or KAT stay at 50-40-90 (in fact, I would be shocked if they did). But it's pretty remarkable that not only are the only two players currently averaging 50-40-90 shooting splits both centers, but they both play for the same team.

There probably aren't 5 players who's actual value is more undervalued by casual NBA fans when it comes to trades/talent compared to real life than Towns right now. NBA fans think he is absolute trash when he's really good. It's like because he isn't the MVP or had some terrible performances, he has suddenly turned into complete garbage, he's not even on people's minds anymore as a good player, people just think he's really bad but can have a good game now and then and maybe can be rehabilitated. They see him like James Harden or Ben Simmons.
