Minnesota Timberwolves sophomore Anthony Edwards talks about swimming in Lake Minnetonka, compares himself to Michael Phelps

Minnesota Timberwolves had the first pick in the 2020 NBA draft. With the first pick, they selected Anthony Edwards. While many questioned the Wolves for not picking up a name like LaMelo Ball, the Wolves never doubted their rook. Edwards lived up to their expectations, as he finished his rookie campaign at the second spot in the prestigious Rookie of the Year race. He averaged 19.3 points and 4.7 rebounds, while shooting 32.9% from the deep, and playing all 72 games in the season.

Apart from his class on the court, ANT is known for his hilarious interviews. Last year, he talked about how he could play anywhere from NFL, MLB, to Hockey, swimming, or TT, if the money is right. He’s also talked about how he wants a lion for a pet, but had to settle for a dog currently.
