Editing Anthony Edwards (section)

=== The NBA Draft and Rookie Year ===
In the 2020 NBA Draft, Anthony Edwards was selected with the first overall pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves, a decision that would prove to be pivotal for the franchise's future. The Timberwolves, who were coming off a disappointing season, saw Edwards as the dynamic scorer and leader they needed to complement their star center, Karl-Anthony Towns, and rising talent, D'Angelo Russell.

Edwards’ rookie season was a bit of a rollercoaster, as is often the case for young players adjusting to the NBA. However, he quickly showed why he was the top pick, averaging 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. His ability to score in a variety of ways—whether through powerful dunks, deep three-pointers, or finishing at the rim—made him an instant highlight reel machine. Despite the challenges the Timberwolves faced as a team, Edwards’ individual growth was undeniable.

A particularly memorable moment during Edwards’ rookie season came when he had a 42-point performance against the Phoenix Suns, showcasing his potential as an explosive scorer. He also gained recognition for his high-flying dunks and fearless approach to attacking the basket, quickly earning the nickname “Ant-Man” from fans.
