Anthony Edwards is a 6'5" small forward who plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was the number one overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft.

Edwards has all the skills one can look for in a powerful guard. He has a beautiful jumper and can posterize defenders with his powerful dunks. He always proves to be a threat by drawing fouls and going to the free-throw line.
