Anthony Edwards: Ascending Star & Future Face of the NBA
The Timberwolves young superstar has taken the leap this year, and has positioned himself to dominate the league in the years to come
The Minnesota Timberwolves won their first playoff series in twenty years this week by sweeping the Phoenix Suns in dominant fashion. Since 2010, Minnesota has had the third worst record in the NBA, only winning 40% of their games. The last time they won a playoff series in 2004 they were led by a generational talent that won MVP and was named first team All-Defense: Kevin Garnett. Fast forward to today and the Timberwolves have used a similar formula, only this time the generational talent is a bit younger and plays on the perimeter.
Anthony Edwards has been a revelation for Minnesota. In his four seasons with the team, he has helped to lead them to the playoffs three times. He possesses all the talents that you want from a player on the court while also exhibiting the characteristics that come with someone that is the face of a franchise. But Anthony Edwards is not only the face of the Minnesota Timberwolves; he is on track to be the face of the entire league.
