Anthony Edwards has had quite a season so far. After finishing second in last season’s ROTY race, the Wolves youngster has elevated his game to a whole new level. At age 20, Ant has been co-leading this young group alongside Kael-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell. 57 games into the season, the squad has already managed to win more games than they did the previous season. And a huge reason for their successes this season has to go to the 6-foot-4 guard.
On Sunday afternoon, Edwards added yet another incredible performance to his breakout season. Helping the Timberwolves grab a 9-point win against the Indiana Pacers, Ant stuffed the stat sheet with 37 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals while shooting 52% from the field and 53.8% 3FG.

The combo-guard reached the 2,500 career points milestone as only the fourth-fastest player in NBA history. He follows the elite company of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker on the same list.
Edwards also joins Luka Doncic as the only player in history to record 5 games with 35+ points and 5+ threes, before turning the age of 21.
Averaging a solid 22.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season, many would believe he was an All-Star snub. However, the only goal for Anthony is to help his squad advance to the postseason for the first time in 4 years.
