Anthony Edwards ‘100%’ believes he will be best basketball player in NBA
Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports

Anthony Edwards is quickly becoming one of the most prominent players in the NBA, and his standout performances and contributions to the Minnesota Timberwolves have made a significant impact. He believes it won’t take long before he claims the position as the league’s best.

He made this known while making an appearance on NBA Today when his former teammate Austin Rivers asserted he would be the best player in the league in two to three years, to which he agreed.

Yeah, I 100% agree with you, sure. About two or three years, yep. Anthony Edwards said

Furthermore, Anthony Edwards stated that at this point in his career, he is at 40%, and the league is yet to see the best of him. He reminded critics that he is still in his fourth season in the league since being drafted number one by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2020.

Edwards has been phenomenal this season and has earned much praise from his fellow professionals and others. Coupled with the Michael Jordan comparison that has trailed him all season, it’s not surprising to see how confident he is in himself. This season, he averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and a field goal percentage of 46.1%.
