The most popular thing in the league is to impose the title of superstar successor on rookies, such as Anthony Davis, Garnett; Zion Williamson and LeBron James, etc. However, it is also impolite to say that only "the proud ones" are qualified to be labeled as successors. The record is comparable to James! Will "No. 1" Anthony Edwards become a superstar? Now Anthony Davis can be considered "successful." After winning the championship last season, he once became the most sought-after inside star in the league. The same goes for Zion Williamson. Although his career has only just begun, he has already begun to become a superstar. Not only are his season statistics soaring, but he is also easily selected for the All-Star team. Therefore, there is an order in which you become famous in the league. You first show your potential and become a "successor", and then you can achieve yourself with your own abilities.
Of course, this time we are going to focus on a "favored son" who is considered the "successor of Wade" - Anthony Edwards. Bitter at first but then sweet, Anthony Edwards is having a smooth ride with the Timberwolves. This season, Edwards was first selected by the Wolves. But it wasn't a smooth start for him. In fact, everyone knows that the Timberwolves are like a new star grave, and it is difficult for a star to become famous. Edwards's strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious, so many people are not optimistic about his future in the Timberwolves. Edwards made 12 of 24 shots, 6 of 14 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. It should be said that 23 of Edwards' 34 points were scored in the second half. In the crucial fourth quarter, Edwards scored 13 points in a single quarter. In a short period of time, Edwards not only detained Covington, but also scored two three-pointers against Anthony, and then celebrated with Anthony.
"You can get out"! Still questioning him! The champion, 34 points is Edwards' first 3 points this season and finally looks like a champion. In addition, he has become the second rookie in Timberwolves history to hit at least 5 three-pointers in a single game. The last one has already entered the All-Star, his name is LaVine. Few noticed that Edwards was getting better. To say that the best rookie so far this season is naturally three goals. In addition, King's Halliburton also performed well. As for Edwards, his style of play is very exciting and he can often score in the top ten with some spaced balls. However, his overall performance is really not as good as three goals.
As of now, Edwards is averaging 15.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, shooting 38.1% from the field, 31.5% from the field, and only 47.9% from the field. Edwards has been in the bottom left corner with the same TPA (total points contributed) as a rookie. The offensive skills are rough, the scoring efficiency is low, the shooting is unstable, and the defense is not good. Edwards takes on nearly all of the rookie's shortcomings. The difference is that the Timberwolves are not focusing on the playoffs this season, so Edwards has plenty of opportunities to swing.
