How Anthony Edwards would fit with the Atlanta Hawks

Anthony Edwards has long been regarded as the most likely candidate to be selected first overall in the 2020 NBA draft. Not only has Edwards been an elite offensive force averaging 19.1 points per game this season but his defensive potential is what’s most intriguing about him. Edwards is a 6-foot-5, 225 lb shooting guard with a 6-foot-9 wingspan and often garners comparisons to two-way NBA shooting guards such as Donovan Mitchell, Jaylen Brown and Victor Oladipo.

The Atlanta Hawks currently have the fourth-best odds (12.5%) at acquiring the number one overall pick in this year’s draft, per Tankathon.
