Tuesday morning, ESPN released their top 25 NBA players under the age of 25. Usually, Minnesota Timberwolves fans are used to their star players being overlooked. However, that is not the case for Anthony Edwards, as ESPN views him as the second-best rising star based on future potential.
Here is the description that ESPN reporter Tim Bontemps gave Edwards in the ranking:
