On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Timberwolves won 124-107 away to the Nuggets. In this game, the Timberwolves' two Champions played well, scoring 70 points to help the team win the opponent. Among them, Edwards shot 14 of 21 and 10 of 14 from outside the three-point line, scoring a game-high score of 38 points.
It is worth mentioning that 10 three-pointers in a single game set a new record for Edwards' single-game three-point shooting. At the same time, it is also the most individual game in which players have hit three points in a single game this season. The previous record belongs to Curry, who has made nine three-pointers in four single-game attempts.
This game against the Nuggets happens to be the 100th game of Edwards' NBA career. In his first 100 games, Edwards hit 258 three-pointers, averaging 2.58 three-pointers per game. Edwards is only 20 years old as the head of the class of 2020, and he is still in a state of progress.
This season, Edwards has averaged 8.4 shots from outside the three-point line, shooting 2.9 three-pointers, or 33.8 percent from the field. All three figures are up from their rookie seasons. Edwards likes to shoot three-pointers from the perimeter, which is the way he plays. After Curry broke Ray Allen's three-point record, ESPN took stock of the top 5 young players in the league who are expected to catch up with Curry, including Edwards.
In the first 100 games of Curry's career, he hit just 200 three-pointers. Curry has 58 fewer three-pointers than Edwards on that statistic. Given that the way the league plays has changed drastically and stars are increasingly relying on three-point projection, young Edwards really has a chance to storm Curry's all-time three-point record in his career.
