Anthony Edwards may have lost out to LaMelo Ball in Rookie of the Year voting, but the Minnesota Timberwolves remain supremely confident that they chose the right player No. 1 overall last November.
It wasn’t just the dunks, the scoring or a finishing kick to the season that saw him average 26.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 53 percent on field goals and 41.4 percent on 7.8 3s per game over the final nine games. Need a bigger sample? In the 36 games after the All-Star break, he went 23.8/5.3/3.4/.454/.349 on 8.2 attempts. He also played in all 72 games.
