Anthony Edwards was born in Atlanta, Georgia and is an American professional basketball player. He was the number one pick in the 2020 draft and is considered by many as one of the best young shooting guards in the league. He will now play in his fifth NBA season and recently agreed on a five-year contract extension, with the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a massive contract for a young player, but many feel he is worth every penny.
Anthony Edwards was a 2023 NBA All-Star as well as a member of the NBA All-Rookie first team. Additionally, USA Coach Steve Kerr has also picked him for the upcoming FIBA World Cup of 2023 in the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan.
He is superb with the ball and an excellent scorer at the rim. He also has good playmaking ability, which helped his team to advance to the playoffs last season. He was the only main threat for the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs and defeated the defending champions in the second round of playoffs.
The only area where the guard lacks is in his defensive consistency and shot selection, but he will improve at these things as he gets more experience in the NBA.
