Anthony Edwards only has one goal and it should delight Timberwolves fans

For a young player as talented as Anthony Edwards, it would be easy to get caught up in individual honors. However, all season long, Ant has remained steadfast in his belief that his goal for this season is to bring a championship to the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

During a recent video on his YouTube channel, Edwards doubled down on winning a title as his sole goal. 

"Winning a championship, I think that's the only thing. Cuz every great won the championship, so if I win a championship, I'm cool," Ant said when asked what he wants to achieve.

Edwards later backed up the same philosophy when asked about the MVP award. While Ant also hinted at a football career after winning his first championship, this was more of a joke to me than a serious possibility. In any event, it's clear that Ant has his eyes on the prize and isn't focused on any individual honors. This mentality is exactly what Timberwolves fans should want to hear. 

It's all about winning a championship for Ant and the Timberwolves

Listen, I'm not here to say that Ant has already accomplished every individual honor. He still hasn't won MVP, made an All-NBA first team, or been named an All-Star starter. In the grand scheme of things, though, these are small potatoes.

After back-to-back conference finals appearances, winning a championship is the next logical step, and this should be his lone goal -- thankfully, Edwards understands that. 

Ant-Man is in the midst of a career-best season, averaging 29.3 points. He has tirelessly worked at his craft each offseason, and this has helped him level up. Edwards' growth as a mid-range scorer has been the story of this season. Notably, Ant is shooting a career-best 44.1 percent from the mid-range on 3.9 attempts per game.

This improved mid-range shooting has made Edwards less predictable and helped him have the best clutch season of his career. In addition to his phenomenal scoring, the Wolves will need Ant to make the reads as a playmaker and give it his all defensively to reach their full ceiling.

With the defending-champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the surging San Antonio Spurs, and the always dangerous Denver Nuggets coming out of the Western Conference, and ultimately winning the championship will be a challenging task.

Nevertheless, when you have a player as talented as Anthony Edwards, surprises always happen -- we've seen this during the past two playoff runs. Whether it's this year or in the not-too-distant future, the Timberwolves could feasibly win a championship, and Ant is the perfect guy to lead the team to these lofty heights.
