Editing Anthony Edwards (section)

=== Rising Star and Sophomore Surge ===
As Edwards entered his second season in 2021-2022, it was clear that he was no longer just a raw prospect but a legitimate force in the NBA. Edwards made significant strides in improving his game, particularly with his shooting and decision-making. He finished the season averaging 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, helping lead the Timberwolves to a playoff berth.

One of the key areas where Edwards showed growth was his three-point shooting. After a rough start to his rookie season from beyond the arc, he became a more consistent shooter in year two, increasing his three-point percentage to 35.7%. His ability to score both off the dribble and as a spot-up shooter made him a more complete offensive player. Additionally, his improved defense and increased playmaking ability made him a more well-rounded contributor to the team’s success.

Edwards’ performances during the 2022-2023 NBA playoffs were particularly impressive. In his first taste of postseason basketball, Edwards embraced the spotlight, averaging 25.2 points per game and helping the Timberwolves make a deep run in the Western Conference Playoffs. His ability to take over games, especially during clutch moments, further solidified his status as one of the NBA's most promising young stars.
