The first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Anthony Edwards is already amongst the top handful of best Minnesota Timberwolves players of all-time. Last season, he was a large reason why the team reached the Western Conference Finals for just the second time in their franchise’s history.

Twice this season they’ve beaten Denver. Minnesota has been stellar offensively on both occasions. It all stems from Edwards. Denver simply doesn’t have an answer for the guard. The Nuggets don’t have a premier perimeter defender to deter Edwards, nor do they have a rim protector to make him think twice about being aggressive.
