Impressive Start for Former First Overall Pick
Anthony Edwards, the first overall pick by the Timberwolves in the 2020 NBA Draft, has made a promising start to the new season. After three subpar seasons, Edwards has shown signs of significant improvement in the first round of the playoffs against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Emergence as a Reliable Scorer
In the opening game of the series, Edwards dropped a team-high 36 points, leading the Timberwolves to a crucial victory. His scoring prowess has continued throughout the series, with him averaging 25.3 points per game. Edwards' ability to create his own shot and get to the basket has been a major factor in the Timberwolves' early success.
Improved Defense and Leadership
In addition to his offensive production, Edwards has also shown improvement on the defensive end. He has been active in the passing lanes, recording multiple steals, and has contested shots with more intensity. Furthermore, Edwards has emerged as a vocal leader on the court, providing encouragement and motivation to his teammates.
Optimism for the Future
Edwards' strong start to the playoffs has given Timberwolves fans reason to be optimistic about the future. If he continues to play at this level, he has the potential to be a franchise cornerstone and lead the Timberwolves to their first NBA Championship.
