Prospect Profiles Presented by Panini: Anthony Edwards

High-Scoring Freshman Brings Pro-Ready Game to Draft Day

The powerfully-built freshman from Georgia only needed one season to deliver on the fruits of his prolific prep career, one that concluded with McDonald’s and Jordan Brand All-American honors. Nicknamed “Ant-Man” by his dad as a toddler, the outstanding two-sport athlete was widely-regarded as the top guard prospect in the country when he signed on to play for Georgia.
