Anthony Edwards Drafted No. 1, Headlines Timberwolves NBA Draft Night
Early Bloomer
Anthony Edwards was widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the high school class of 2020 through his mid-teens. The shooting guard played college basketball for the University of Georgia Bulldogs and was selected with the first overall pick by the Timberwolves in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Aggressive Draft Picks
The Minnesota Timberwolves made a bold move on Wednesday night, selecting Georgia guard Anthony Edwards with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. The move was a surprise to many, as most experts expected the Timberwolves to select Memphis center James Wiseman. However, the Timberwolves were reportedly impressed with Edwards' athleticism and upside, and they believe he has the potential to be a franchise-changing player.
Successful Draft Picks
Edwards is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound shooting guard who averaged 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game for Georgia last season. He is a dynamic scorer who can create his own shot and finish at the rim. He is also a good rebounder and defender. Edwards is still raw, but he has all the tools to be a star in the NBA.
