49 points + 48 points! The league's first, super champion is indeed extraordinary, the representative of the strongest star in the future
NBA stars change every few years, and now James, Durant and Curry have become the oldest stars in the league, and James will reach 39 in the new season, he is the oldest player in the active NBA league. Today, the league's strongest generation of stars should be Jokic, Alphabet Brother, Embiid, and Thick Eyebrows. Younger stars are Tatum and Alexander, 25, Doncic, 24, and so on. Doncic and Tatum are both regular-season MVP contenders, but their ability to lead the team still falls short of Jokic's alphabet brother. 49 points + 48 points! The league's first, super champion is indeed extraordinary, the representative of the strongest star in the future.
The ESPN expert group recently conducted some polls, one of which is that in five years, who will be the best player in the NBA? Among them, Doncic has the highest percentage of votes, followed by Edwards in second place. Jokic also received some votes. However, the younger stars, Morant and Zion Williams, did not get votes. The top pick of the Class of 2019 (Zion Williams) and the Top Show (Morant) both "collapsed" this summer offseason. Zion Williams is entangled with adult actresses, addicted to alcohol, and peachy news. Morant illegally owned guns many times, broadcast live publicly, and was severely punished by the league. The personal images of these two rising stars were ruined, and fans were not optimistic about their future.
Edwards is the top pick in 2020, and he is the only player in the younger generation to catch up with Doncic. Joining the Timberwolves, Edwards has improved rapidly, averaging 25+5+5 per game in the regular season, and being selected to the All-Star team, which is natural. In the playoffs, Edwards played very well and was very bloody, averaging 31.6 points (second in the league) + 5.0 rebounds + 5.2 assists + 1.8 steals + 2.0 blocks per game. Edwards is very offensive, and against the Nuggets' defense, he can still cut 40+ and 30+ to score the second highest point in the league. Moreover, Edwards' passing organization, stealing ability and defensive block statistics are all fantastic, and his technique is a bit versatile.
Although Edwards is only 22 years old, his playing style is relatively mature, breaking through sharp dunks, finishing scoring ability, shooting and three-pointing, and comprehensive technique. Edwards has recorded 49 points + 6 rebounds + 8 assists + 2 steals in a single game, 48 points + 8 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks in a single game, 46 points + 7 rebounds + 4 assists + 1 steal in a single game. In terms of lethality, Edwards is much better than the average young player. According to statistics released by the US media, NBA history has cut 30+ in a single game five times in the playoffs before the age of 22, and only James and Edwards have done it.
Edwards is different from Towns, who has been with the Timberwolves for so many years, his personal data cannot be broken, and his record with a mediocre team is mediocre. Many people say that Downs plays bloodless, lacks desire to win, and collapses in the playoffs, and Butler also said that Downs is extremely talented, but he lacks blood. Edwards is different, he is the kind of star who is strong when he is strong, and the playoffs are stronger than the regular season, so if he plays the Nuggets in the playoffs, Edwards will bomb 40+. Many NBA expert reporters and fans agree that Edwards has a superstar phase and the future is very promising.
Super top pick Edwards, he and Doncic are representatives of the best stars of the future. Timberwolves management is ready to focus on developing Edwards, with him as the cornerstone, with the likes of Towns and Gobert appearing in trade discussions. This summer offseason, the Timberwolves directly gave Edwards a five-year, $260 million super top salary. NBA salary experts believe that Edwards is more worthy of such a large contract than Tanhua Three Goals and Halliburton. Commentators such as O'Neal, Perkins and A. Smith have all said that Edwards will become the leader of the Timberwolves this new season, and he is the future of the Timberwolves. Doncic, Tatum, Edwards, Alexander, Morant, Zion Williams, Venbanyama – five years from now, which of them do you think will be the best star in the league?
