Edwards has emerged as the face of the Timberwolves franchise, especially after his fighting performance in the playoffs.
They took on the Denver Nuggets in the first round and suffered a crushing series defeat. However, the 21-year-old star produced a tremendous display averaging 31.6 points in 5 games.
As a reward for his output, the team recently signed him to a 5-year contract extension, as reported by the NBA.
Is Anthony Edwards the new face of the Timberwolves?
Apart from Edwards, the Wolves have Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert to form the core.
However, keeping the future in mind, the Wolves signed a 5-year deal with Edwards for $260 million. Will the 2020 No.1 draft pick prove to be a safe bet for the franchise? Well, the future will only answer.
But at his current rate of ascent, he is all set to be the next great shooting guard. He has the consistency, athleticism and winning mentality that the league so desperately seeks.
On the other hand, Green recently resigned a 4-year contract with the Dubs for $100 million. Who do you think will win the match-up when the two face off next season? Let us know in the comments below.
