No. 1 on canvas: This 2020 painting of former Georgia star and Wolves No. 1 overall pick Anthony Edwards was done by the artist @heypaintella.

Perhaps Anthony Edwards was always this way, or perhaps this is an effect of the two closest people in his life, his mother and grandmother, each dying of cancer five years ago when he was 14.

“I’m the type of guy where a lot of people have to gain my trust,” Edwards said.
