NBA Playoffs: 3 young players that will have a breakout performance
Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves
It may have come as a surprise to see that the Minnesota Timberwolves finished as one of the top 8 teams in the Western Conference, but this is a team that’s talented enough to beat any team in the league. And that will certainly be put to the test in their first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Wolves may not win many, if any, games against the Grizzlies, but there’s one thing that can transpire – the official arrival of one of the league’s next stars. That’s exactly what will happen with Anthony Edwards.
Edwards is an absolute budding star in the league. During his second season in the league, Edwards averaged 21 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 44 percent shooting from the field and 36 percent shooting from 3-point range.
He’s the type of talent that can steal a game on his own and that will be on full showcase in the playoffs. Edwards is finally going to get the spotlight that he deserves.
