A reminder of just how special Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards truly is

There are some Minnesota Timberwolves fans who truly understand just how special SG Anthony Edwards truly is. Some fans are so enamored with the young Timberwolves star that they are almost too eager to turn the keys of this team over to him now. That’s right, purge the roster, start over from scratch, break this team and the players apart, and start rebuilding this entire franchise around Anthony Edwards, a.k.a A1 or Ant-Man.

That day may come. But before we endorse doing so, the Timberwolves are not done growing, developing, and maturing the young man into the best version of himself that he can be. So what are we looking for in that optimal version of an NBA player? Well, several things to be honest. Let’s run down the Top-3 qualities:

The ability to score

The first and most obvious quality for an NBA star shooting guard is shooting. Not just taking shots, but making them. That has certainly been a strong suit for Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, who has been one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA. But his points are not simply drawn from volume. Rather, he has steadily improved his scoring accuracy in each of his three NBA seasons. The result?

Well, good things.

And the most significant point about his ability to score is the fact that he is doing it on the fly. You see, he is one of the youngest players in NBA history to accomplish these milestones.

So scoring is not a problem. And at 21 years of age, he has a lifetime of excellent NBA play remaining over the course of his basketball career.

With an ever-improving accuracy, his points per game continue to improve each season as well. But being a scorer is not enough. A true NBA star must be able to take over at key moments in the game. So how well does Anthony Edwards assert himself during a game?
