Anthony Edwards is one of the most explosive NBA players I have seen. Edwards has a spring in his step to rival Michael Jordan. With just a few steps, Edwards can have his head beside the rim. He’ll look to keep building his skills to match his athleticism, but his team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, will be strong contenders for 2024-25. 9/3/2024
