Anthony Edwards still has one massive area of growth to reach another level

There's no denying Anthony Edwards' greatness. At minimum, the Minnesota Timberwolves star is a top-eight-level player. However, at 24, Edwards still hasn't reached his ceiling. Edwards has leveled up as a scorer this season, utilizing the mid-range more, averaging a career-high 29.1 points.

By all accounts, he's playing the best basketball of his career. Even still, it's clear that Ant has another level to reach. Many people would point to his playmaking as the primary area of growth, which is fair, but I think reaching another level defensively is truly the next step for Ant.

Edwards has a reputation as a great defender, but the reality is that he's not a consistent defender.
