The Timberwolves and Nuggets have been tied 2-2, and the battle for Tianwang Mountain will be very exciting. The Timberwolves are a very tough team defensively, Gobert, Edwards, Lee Kyle, Conley, McDaniels, Reed, and Walker are all very good defensive players, and the Timberwolves' defensive system is terrifying. The Nuggets were the champion team last season, they retained the championship-winning starting lineup, Jokic is the first person in the NBA league today, Murray is also a playoff boss, plus Gordon, who is offensive and defensive, and Porter Jr., who is invincible in jump shots, this series is really good. Today's protagonist is Edwards, a young star who could rival Wade.

Edwards is the star with the most fans in the playoffs. He averaged 32.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 56% from the field and 3.3 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 44.1%. The stats show that Edwards is a very well-rounded offensive player, he is fast, explosive, jumpy, finishing, and his shooting ability has risen a lot in the playoffs. The main thing is that Edwards has always been so full of physical strength, even in the fourth quarter, he can suddenly move, and he is not soft at critical moments, and he may become the first person in the league in the future.

Edwards was also fierce defensively. His defensive efficiency is 108.6, ranking 41st in the league, his confrontation ability is very strong, he moves quickly, he is also very active around the screen, and his ability to help defend is also very outstanding. Especially in the first round of the series, Edwards defended Durant very well, don't look at him shorter than Durant more than ten centimeters, but he is very good at physical confrontation, card offensive chassis, and dare to start, is an out-and-out offensive and defensive star, and the defensive efficiency of the Timberwolves led by him is also the first in the league. Compared to Morant and Doncic, his defense is more than a little better, which is one of the reasons why he is so respected.

Let's take a look at Edwards' brilliant performance in the playoffs, in the second round of G4 against the Nuggets, he shot 16 of 25 from the field, and blasted 44 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block; played the Nuggets' G1, he was 17 of 29 from the field, scoring 43 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks; played the Suns' G4, he single-handedly shot 13 of 23 and handed over a data sheet of 40 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks; Playing the Suns' G3, he shot 12 of 23 and scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Through a series of performances, Edwards is now certainly a top-three star in the league. Anyone other than Jokic would dare to say he's definitely better than Edwards, I think he's close to Jokic by now.

Last offseason, the Timberwolves offered Edwards a five-year, $260 million max salary contract, which is also fully in line with his value, and it is a matter of course to get the max salary. After all, Edwards has already begun to show his edge last season, especially in the playoffs, and he can average 30 points per game, and the shooting rate is not low, but last season's Timberwolves defensive system has not been built as perfect as this season.

Of these young stars in the NBA now, I am most optimistic about Edwards, who has a better future than Doncic, Tatum, and Alexander. He can do a combination of offense and defense, can do the playoffs better than the regular season, his physical fitness, his bounce, his leadership temperament, is really a once-in-a-decade encounter, and few people in recent years can compare to him.
