It’s been quite the week for Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Anthony Edwards.
Scratch that — it’s been quite the post-All-Star break run for the No. 1 overall pick. Edwards has averaged 26.1 points and six rebounds per game in the Wolves’ six games since the break, and Minnesota has gone 3-3 during that span.
Even with a 4-for-18 shooting performance in Friday’s loss to the Phoenix Suns, Edwards has shot 43 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from beyond the arc, both better marks than his season numbers to date.
