Georgia basketball: Anthony Edwards declares for the NBA Draft

Georgia basketball freshman Anthony Edwards announced what everyone already knew Friday.

The 2020 SEC Freshman of the Year is leaving Athens for the NBA Draft. Since his high school days at Holy Spirit Prep., Edwards has been touted as a future No. 1 overall pick. That proclamation never wanted through his one season with Georgia basketball.

Edwards led the Bulldogs with 19.1 points in the 2019-20 season. His 5.2 rebounds per game really helped the team on the boards, especially after head coach Tom Crean dismissed forward Amanze Ngumezi from the team.
