Edwards Solidifies His Standing Among NBA's Teen Elite

At 19, Anthony Edwards should still only be a freshman in college. Instead, he's become one of the greatest teenagers in NBA history.

According to Stathead.com, 187 players have played in an NBA game before their 20th birthday. In just 66 games, Edwards has already become the fourth-most prolific teenage scorer in history, passing Kobe Bryant in Saturday's game versus New Orleans after scoring 29 points to go with nine rebounds and six assists. With 1,247 points scored this season, Edwards trails only Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Carmelo Anthony on the all-time list.

In Wednesday's matchup versus Memphis, Edwards became the youngest player in NBA history to register 150 made three point field goals.
