After the Minnesota Timberwolves' disappointing series loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the conference finals, many were starting to question whether Anthony Edwards could really be one of the premier players and winners in the NBA.
Edwards had his worst career playoff series against OKC, averaging 23 points - a 4.6 drop off from his regular season average, as well as shooting an abysmal 28.2% from three. The suffocating defense of the Thunder overwhelmed Edwards, forcing him into tough shots and costly turnovers.
The consecutive conference finals losses in embarrassing fashion has led many to asking whether Edwards could ever catch up to the likes of Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
