In Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves may not have Andrew Wiggins 2.0. They may already have something better.

The Minnesota Timberwolves took Anthony Edwards first overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. They are hoping and praying that he is not Andrew Wiggins 2.0.

Yes, Wiggins had consistency issues in Minnesota. He was a decent defender when engaged, but didn’t always lock-in on that end of the floor. Wiggins was also known for “floating” on offense, looking to be an unstoppable force at times but an entirely inefficient scorer at others.
