Twenty-Five Games In, Edwards Showing Promise For Future

Anthony Edwards' NBA rookie season has hit the quarter-century mark, with the Minnesota Timberwolves' 2020 No. 1 pick showing promise as an elite scorer while accumulating experience.

As of February 12, Edwards is second among 2020-21 rookies in scoring, averaging 13.9 points on 32.4% shooting from three-point range to go with 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. The Georgia product has also shown to be a reliable free-throw shooter, converting 80.4% of his attempts from the charity stripe.

Edwards' numbers overall are impressive, considering he had no NCAA Tournament, Summer League, or extended NBA training camp to prepare for his rookie season.
