After joining the Timberwolves as Yuanlang last season, Anthony Edwards was not less sneered at by the outside world, believing that the Timberwolves could not play the standard they deserved in the case of already having the two cores of Russell and Towns, and as a result, this newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and really uses practical actions to make these doubters obediently shut their mouths, and the whole rookie season is down, He averaged 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, and if it weren't for the three-goal comeback, the best rookie would have definitely been in Edwards' pocket.
This season, Edwards continued to play strongly, and in the recent game with the Warriors, he hit a career-high 48 points, that game Edwards was 7 of 13 outside the three-point line, in front of Curry, a three-point master, perfectly showed his potential in projection. As of now, Edwards can average 22.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and the three shooting rates have reached 43.8%, 35.8% and 78.4%, respectively, as the Timberwolves' second-placed scorer, Edwards has also intentionally increased the frequency of his outside shots this year, and has made great improvements in the production and quality of three-pointers compared with last season.
Edwards currently averages 8.6 three-pointers per game, and 3.1 hits is the ninth in the league, equal to Malik Bisley, behind CJ, Lillard, Lavin, Mitchell, Mills, Van Jordan, Hield and Curry, and even much higher than Hiro, Pogdanovic, Trent Jr., all of whom are pure shooters. As a 20-year-old, Edwards has hit 262 three-pointers in his career, and on December 16, the Timberwolves played against the Nuggets, and Edwards surpassed Irving as the youngest player in NBA history to hit 10+ three-pointers in a single game on the road to the Nuggets on 16 December.
Edwards hit a total of 171 three-pointers last season, and edwards has already made 91 this season with just 37 games played by the team, and it is no accident that he is likely to break last season's record and push his three-point shooting past the threshold of 200+ after the end of the season.
As a tall guard with a height of 1.96 meters, Edwards also has a weight of 103KG forward players, excellent physical fitness, so that he can maintain excellent attendance, not long ago he missed 6 games of the Timberwolves, not because of injuries, but because of the trigger health and safety agreement that led to his failure to wear the team, and now he can return to the team, Edwards also allows himself to continue to maintain offensive aggressiveness, in the case of Towns and Russell are still in isolation. Almost single-handedly supporting the team's offensive banner.
As the league's active three-pointer, Curry does have many three-point records to be broken one by one, and Edwards, who eats inside and out, as long as he can maintain an excellent attendance rate, is not without opportunities to attack these records. It is true that Edwards' three-point production is guaranteed now, but the 35.8% shooting rate can only be said to be decent, and I hope that he can continue to improve his shooting accuracy in the next game, and this, he can also ask the big brother Beasley in the team for a good consultation, the entire career Beasley three-point shooting rate can come to 38.1%, and the 19-20 season just joined the Timberwolves is the best accuracy of 42.6%. If the production and quality of the three-point shot can be guaranteed, Edwards, the new Wolf King, will indeed have unlimited futures.
