Anthony Edwards

Anthony Edwards’ journey from first overall pick in the NBA Draft to All-Star took less than three seasons. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard loudly announces his presence to the Salt Lake City crowd with the help of Team LeBron teammate Tyrese Haliburton, who threads the needle through two defenders with a bounce pass to Edwards for a two-handed throwdown. Edwards — who averaged 24.9 points per game in the first half of the season as the youngest All-Star on either roster — converted 6 of 8 field goal attempts for 12 points while adding four rebounds in 16 minutes on February 19, 2023 and will now turn his attention to the second half, where he and the Timberwolves hope to clinch their second consecutive postseason berth.
