<p>Every now and then, we see a young player <strong>take the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> by storm. </strong>Some players wait for their turn to dominate, while others take the torch off of other players’ hands without asking.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-edwards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Edwards</a> </strong>is definitely that kind of player. The young <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves</a></strong> star went to <strong>Kevin Durant’s</strong> house and put the league on notice by sweeping him and the <strong>star-studded Phoenix Suns.</strong></p>



<p>Edwards has repeatedly stated that Durant <strong>was his favorite player going up. </strong>That’s why he feels like he’s on top of the world right now, and the league is definitely in trouble.</p>



<h2>Anthony Edwards Reacts To Beating The Suns</h2>



<p>“<strong><em>Man, it felt great,”</em></strong> Edwards said on the court after the game. <em>“I got the utmost respect for KD. He comes in and competes every night. I watched every last one of his games since I been about 5. <strong>I love that guy and I am excited to play with him this summer, talk a little trash, and let him know I sent him home.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Edwards was humbled and thankful for getting the opportunity to eliminate his favorite player of all time. Still, he acknowledged <strong>it was a team effort</strong> and praised him for the way he played:</p>



<p>“<em>It’s my favorite player of all time,</em>” Edwards said in his post-game presser. <em>“It’s the best feeling in the world to send him home or whatever you want to call it<strong>. </strong></em><strong><em>I don’t even think I outplayed him, he played great throughout the whole series but my team outplayed his.”</em></strong></p>



<h2>Durant Tips His Hat To Edwards</h2>



<p>As expected, Durant had no hard feelings or bad words about Edwards, not even after <strong>his antics and trash-talking throughout the series</strong>. As a matter of fact, he even claimed he’s his favorite player to watch right now:</p>



<p><strong><em>“So impressed with him,”</em></strong> Durant said.<em> “[He’s my] My favorite player to watch. Just grown so much since he came into the league. He’s 22. His love for the game, he shines bright, and that’s one of the reasons I like him the most,<strong> it’s because he loves basketball. He’s grateful to be in this position; he’s taken advantage of every opportunity he’s got.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Edwards is blossoming as a two-way superstar right before our eyes. The sky is the limit for him, and even if the Timberwolves aren’t the favorites to go the distance this season, he’s special enough to <strong>lead them all the way.</strong></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves</a></strong> never hesitated to get <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-edwards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Edwards</a></strong> with the <strong>first overall pick of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> Draft. </strong>And why would they? His upside as a scorer was simply off the charts.</p>



<p>His defense, however, raised some doubts. He had the physical tools to become a good defender, with a body and traits that resembled <strong>Dwyane Wade’s</strong>. But he didn’t look like the kind of guy who was interested in trying.</p>



<p>That’s no longer the case. Edwards isn’t an elite defender by any means, but he’s putting in a lot of work on that end of the floor, and those efforts haven’t gone unnoticed by <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> and Team USA coach Steve Kerr.</strong></p>



<h2>Steve Kerr Raves About Anthony Edwards’ Defense</h2>



<p><strong><em>“We feel like we always have the best defensive guards in the tournament, regardless of whether it’s this year or last year or the year before</em></strong><em><strong>,” </strong></em>the Warriors coach said.</p>



<p><em><strong>“This guy [Anthony Edwards] is right up there at the top. </strong>The pressure he puts on the ball, the way he stays in front, it really can confuse a defense and take them out of their stuff,” </em>he added.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230825#BUS#52522"></div>


<p>Edwards continues to work on his defense, and taking pride in guarding the rivals’ best scorer in this tournament will do wonders for his game. Don’t look now, but he might be next in the<strong> long list of NBA superstars.</strong></p>


Steve Kerr makes shocking revelation about Anthony Edwards - Bolavip US


<p>There were plenty of expectations about <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-pelicans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Pelicans</a> star Brandon Ingram leading Team USA.</strong> He was the most experienced among this roster of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a></strong> players, and was supposed to be their go-to guy.</p>



<p>However, the former <strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong> forward has looked out of sorts since they started their scrimmages. His shot isn’t falling, and he hasn’t done a lot to help his team.</p>



<p>That’s why <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> star Anthony Edwards</strong> had to address the situation, but he was still confident in his teammate’s ability to get over the hump sooner rather than later.</p>



<h2>Team USA Needs Brandon Ingram, Says Anthony Edwards</h2>



<p><strong><em>“He gets paid the big bucks; like, he’s one of the best players in the NBA,” </em></strong>Edwards said per Joe Vardon of The Athletic. <em>“He’s a superstar in the league, so he can figure it out on his own, but it’s nothing like somebody staying your ear.”</em></p>



<p><strong><em>“They stay in my ear. So, just keep talking to him, ’cause you know, a couple shots might not go his way,”</em></strong> he added.<em> “He might get a couple turnovers and get down. I mean, I get down sometimes because I turn it over or miss a couple shots.”</em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230828#BUS#53603"></div>




<p><strong>Not all NBA players are suited for FIBA basketball</strong>, and he wouldn’t be the first to find that out the hard way. Even so, he’s good enough to turn things around; he just needs a couple of lucky bounces to go his way.</p>

<p>You have to be a strong competitor <strong>if you want to make it in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a>,</strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves </a></strong>star<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-edwards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Edwards</a> </strong>is<strong>,</strong> by all means, a very competitive person.</p>



<p>He’s been used to being in the spotlight since his days in high school, and he’s lived up to the expectations that come with being the <strong>first-overall pick in the NBA Draft.</strong></p>



<p>That’s why he wants what he’s due, and he wasn’t ready to come off the bench for <strong>Team USA.</strong> However, contrary to what some outlets reported, he has no beef with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a>coach Steve Kerr.</strong></p>



<h2>Anthony Edwards Is Cool With Steve Kerr</h2>



<p><em><strong>“I mean, of course I wasn’t cool with it,” </strong></em>the Georgia product told The Athletic.<em><strong> “If that’s what it takes, I mean, I am willing to do it, but nah, I’m never cool with that.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>“[Coach Steve Kerr] said Dwyane Wade came off the bench when Kobe played. I was like, all right, we don’t have a Kobe, but all right. But it was cool,</em></strong>” Edwards continued.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230824#BUS#51924"></div>


<p>Edwards does a lot of talking and has a lot of confidence in his game, but at least he’s always been able to back it up on the court, so props to him f<strong>or taking what he thinks should be his.</strong></p>

<h2>Anthony Edwards Talks About Kobe’s Influence</h2>



<p>“<em><strong>I just wanted to play in it because Kobe (Bryant) played in it,”</strong></em> Edwards said. “Because Michael Jordan played in it. Vince Carter, when he jumped over buddy, he almost punched Kevin Garnett in the face after he jumped over him.”</p>



<p>“<em><strong>Ordered Kobe 1s when Kobe was talking Spanish to Luis Scola,</strong></em>” Edwards continued. <strong><em>“And Bron was like, ‘Chill Kob.’ Those are the best players, so you gotta do what they do.”</em></strong></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/erik-spoelstra">Erik Spoelstra</a></strong> is currently an assistant coach for Team USA, as they prepare for the FIBA World Cup under head coach Steve Kerr. The coach of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a></strong> has recently drawn an intriguing comparison of someone on the roster with a player he knows well, like<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dwayne-wade">Dwyane Wade</a></strong>.</p>



<p>Spoelstra is unquestionably among the best coaches in the league right now. Despite not having all-time greats in the lineup, he was able to lead the Heat to two NBA Finals in the last four seasons.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230821#BUS#50235"></div>


<p>However, there is no denying his most memorable era was when he coached the Big 3. Spoelstra won two championships with<strong> LeBron James</strong>, Chris Bosh, and Wade, the last one being a similar player to a promising young star.</p>



<h2>Erik Spoelstra Compared Anthony Edwards to Dwyane Wade</h2>



<p>The USA squad delivered a perfect exhibition games performance, clinching victories in all five of their matchups. One player has stood out, even receiving high praise from Kerr himself, who called him “the guy”. This standout player is<strong> Anthony Edwards</strong>, who has shown his potential since the team got together.</p>



<p>During an interview with CNN Philippines, Spoelstra compared the<strong> Timberwolves</strong> star with Wade. He said: “It’s hard to look at Anthony Edwards and not see Dwyane Wade. And I’m not a guy for comparisons, I’m not. But the way he moves, the way he competes, the way he electrifies the crowd, yes, that reminds me of No. 3”.</p>



<p>Throughout the pre-World Cup phase, Edwards has led his teammates to a 5-0 run with a fantastic average of 19.2 points per game. “I have told Anthony that. I feel like I’m going back in time, it’s making me younger again, I’m really enjoying it,” Spoelstra added about the feeling of coaching Edwards.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a>, Kevin Durant, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry</a> </strong>have been<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> superstars</strong> for quite a while now. But Father Time spares no victim, and it’s not like they’re getting any younger.</p>



<p>Don’t get me wrong; they can all still hoop at an elite level, and they should be a part of the league for years to come still. But their reign will eventually come to an end; <strong>that’s a fact.</strong></p>



<p>With that in mind, Curry seems to believe<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> star Anthony Edwards</strong> is next in line. According to a recent interview, he knew he was special from the moment he watched him dominate in his camp.</p>



<h2>Stephen Curry Always Knew Anthony Edwards Would Be A Star</h2>



<p><strong><em>“Anthony Edwards, for sure,” </em></strong>Curry told Kameron Hay of Complex. <em><strong>“He just had a different demeanor and different competitive presence out there on the court during our camp sessions and even in the showcase game that we had.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>“There were just plays that he made that nobody else really could,” </em></strong>Curry added. <em><strong>“So I think that most people who watched that year would have had a lot of confidence in the fact that he’d be who he wanted to be.”</strong></em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230809#BUS#43384"></div>


<p>Edwards’ career has already gotten off to an incredible star, not only being taken first overall but also getting an All-Star nod and even being invited to Team USA, so <strong>Curry wasn’t wrong about him.</strong></p>

Stephen Curry reveals the next NBA superstar






<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-edwards">Anthony Edwards</a></strong> was drafted by the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-timberwolves">Minnesota Timberwolves</a></strong> during the 2020 NBA Draft as the <strong>No. 1 overall pick.</strong> Since he came to the franchise, things have changed for the better. So far, he has played in the 2022 and 2023 playoffs.</p>



<p>Last season was near-perfect for Edwards. He started in 79 games, averaged 36 minutes per game, shot 45.9% from the field, averaged 5.8 rebounds per game, 4.4 assists per game, 1.6 steals per game, 0.7 blocks per game, and scored 24.6 points per game, <strong>which was a career high in most of his personal stats.</strong></p>



<p>However, Edwards had a couple of good games during the 2023 NBA playoffs against the eventual NBA champion <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a></strong>, where he scored 41 points in Game 2. However, the Timberwolves were eliminated 1-4.</p>



<h2>What fuels Anthony Edwards’ ambition to make the playoffs next season?</h2>



<p>In a recent interview, Edwards said that he is motivated to make it to the 2024 NBA playoffs and that he wants to play the Golden State Warriors. <em>“<strong>I want to play the Warriors. Wherever they are, I want to get to them,”</strong></em> he said. When asked why he wants to play against them, he replied, <strong><em>“Because Draymond talks so much trash.”</em></strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-streamable wp-block-embed-streamable"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div><figcaption><strong><em><a href="https://streamable.com/z9o157">if video doesn’t start click here to play</a></em></strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>It appears that Edwards has never liked <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green’s</a></strong> opinions of him. In 2022, Green called Edwards <strong>“a little bit of a hothead.”</strong> In 2023, Green said that Edwards needed to <strong>“be more consistent” and “learn how to win.”</strong> He also said that Edwards needs to <strong>“stop talking so much trash.”</strong></p>

<p>James’ milestone has been a testament to his consistency and longevity, and while he might <strong>not be considered a ‘pure scorer’ </strong>or the best scorer of all time, numbers don’t lie, and the stats back him up.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Kevin-Durant-Kyrie-Irving-reveal-LeBron-James-most-impressive-trait-20230131-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James’ record</a> might never be topped, </strong>not because there aren’t elite scorers in the league, but because they may not play long enough to do it. Considering that,we’ll discuss whether an active player has a chance to catch him at the top.</p>
<h2>NBA: The Only Players Who Could Break LeBron’s Scoring Record</h2>
<h3>15. Tyrese Haliburton</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_tyrese_haliburton.jpg_22993414_5a31e502.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Tyrese Haliburton — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While he’s been mostly known for his playmaking this season, <strong>Tyrese Haliburton</strong> has also shown some elite bucket-making skills. He can score from all three levels, and he’ll be a primary scoring option for years to come.</p>
<p>The <strong>Indiana Pacers’</strong>young star has improved his scoring averages with an expanded role, averaging <strong>20.2 points </strong>on 48% from the floor in just his third season in the league. Of course, the chances of him passing James go down if he turns out to be apass-first PG.</p>
<h3>14. Scottie Barnes</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_scottie_barnes.jpg_22993414_cc1c03ef.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Scottie Barnes — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Former Rookie of the Year <strong>Scottie Barnes</strong> has turned a lot of heads in his brief tenure in the league. He’s been mostly praised for his NBA-ready defense, playmaking, and versatility, but he can also score like the best of them.</p>
<p>Barnes has only shown glimpses of his efficient scoring ability, averaging roughly <strong>15.7 points</strong> per game. However, those numbers will only go up once the <strong>Toronto Raptors</strong> trade their stars and he’s handed the keys to the offense.</p>
<h3>13. Zach LaVine</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_zach_lavine.jpg_22993414_8eb33708.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Zach LaVine — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chicago Bulls</strong> star <strong>Zach LaVine</strong> has gone to great lengths to prove that he’s more than just an athlete. He has also become an elite shooter, and he’s the kind of guy who won’t hesitate to take as many shots as needed to win.</p>
<p>LaVine has been around the league for some time now, and he’s had a major injury already. But he entered the NBA at just 19 years old, and has averaged <strong>20.1 points </strong>per his career, including a season in which he averaged a whopping 27.4 points.</p>
<h3>12. Ja Morant</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_ja_morant.jpg_22993414_ad22b7bb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ja Morant — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ja Morant </strong>is a leader and a floor general, and as such, he’ll always look to make the right play and get his teammates involved. But make no mistake, he also loves to take the rock to the rim, and he can put up huge numbers if need be.</p>
<p>The <strong>Memphis Grizzlies</strong> will be contenders for years to come, but they will also be Ja Morant’s team until further notice. While not considered a pure scorer, he does average <strong>22.3 points </strong>per his career, and 27.4 points per game this season.</p>
<h3>11. Devin Booker</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_devin_booker.jpg_22993414_ffe07d74.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Devin Booker — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It took him a while, but<strong> Devin Booke</strong>r finally got the praise and recognition he deserved as one of the league’s most efficient scorers. He didn’t get all that attention because the <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong> weren’t all that good.</p>
<p>Booker turned heads with a 70-point performance in just his second year in the league, and he could actually join the exclusive 50/40/90 club at some point in his career. Thus far, he’s averaged<strong> 23.7 points</strong> per game, including 27.1 this season.</p>
<h3>10. Nikola Jokic</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_nikola_jokic.jpg_22993414_4395f965.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Nikola Jokic — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It’s crazy to think that people don’t consider <strong>Nikola Jokic </strong>to be a scorer, yet he’s improved his scoring average in all but two seasons in his career. In fact, he’s averaged at least 25 points per game in each of the past three years.</p>
<p>The <strong>Denver Nuggets </strong>will be wise to keep him there for the remainder of his career. He’s a simple guy, so he might never leave, and he does average <strong>20.1 points</strong> per his career. But will he want to play long enough to break James’ record? That seems unlikely.</p>
<h3>9. Jalen Green</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_jalen_green.jpg_22993414_febef60a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jalen Green — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While not exactly efficient, <strong>Jalen Green </strong>has shown glimpses of the potential to be a generational scorer. He’s not afraid to take all the shots, regardless of who’s guarding him or the scoreboard.</p>
<p>Green can shake off his defender with hisathleticism; he’s got a quick triggerand a nice shooting motion. He’s averaging <strong>21.7 points</strong> per game in just his second season, and that number will only trend up as the <strong>Houston Rockets</strong> get better.</p>
<h3>8. Trae Young</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_trae_young.jpg_22993414_567ac99e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Trae Young — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Trae Young’s</strong> attitude has granted him some criticism, and chances are that he’ll never stop being a defensive liability. But this young man is box-officeand one of the coldest scorers this game has ever seen.</p>
<p>He’s got unlimited range as a shooter and averaged nearly 30 points per game in just his second year. The <strong>Atlanta Hawks</strong> have been a free-throw machine since he joined them, as he’s got all the tricks to fool the refs and defenders. Thus far, he’s averaged<strong> 25.5 points.</strong></p>
<h3>7. Donovan Mitchell</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_donovan_mitchell.jpg_22993414_a57ac6bb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Donovan Mitchell — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Donovan Mitchell </strong>flew under the radar in college, and he continues to be somewhat undervalued or underrated around the league. But he’s always been, and will likely always be, a walking bucket.</p>
<p>Mitchell often takes his game up a notch in the playoffs, and his relentless competitive nature makes us think he’ll be in the league for years to come. Throughout his career, he’s averaged <strong>24.3 points,</strong> and he’s scoring 27.6 points per game for the<strong> Cleveland Cavaliers</strong> this season.</p>
<h3>6. Paolo Banchero</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_paolo_banchero.jpg_22993414_b6c08869.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Paolo Banchero — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Some questioned the <strong>Orlando Magic’s </strong>decision to take<strong> Paolo Banchero</strong> with the first-overall pick, but it didn’t take long before he proved it was the right choice. He looks like an All-Star caliber player already.</p>
<p>Banchero is an elite playmaker and a physical specimen who can take any defender all the way to the rim. He’s also an elite shooter from all three levels, and is averaging <strong>20.5 points</strong> per game in his first year in the league. He’ll be a problem.</p>
<h3>5. Anthony Edwards</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_anthony_edwards.jpg_22993414_799ff8e0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Anthony Edwards — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> don’t get that much love because of their well-documented struggles, so people seem to ignore <strong>Anthony Edwards</strong>. But he’s only getting better in every aspect of the game.</p>
<p>Edwards has been the lone bright spot in Minnesota recently. He’s made great strides as a defender, and is virtually unstoppable on the offensive end of the floor. He’s averaging 24.9 points per game to bump his career average to <strong>21.6 points,</strong>and he’s just 21 years old.</p>
<h3>4. Kevin Durant</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_kevin_durant.jpg_22993414_963f43ff.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kevin Durant — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Kevin Durant</strong> is the third-leading scorer among active players, trailing LeBron and Carmelo Anthony. He’s perhaps the greatest pure scorer this game has ever seen, so he should be no. 1 on the list of people who could take James down.</p>
<p>However, the <strong>Brooklyn Nets </strong>star isn’t getting any younger, and he’s dealt with various injuries over the past couple of years. He’s currently 12,000 points behind James, so with his career average of<strong> 27.3 points</strong>, he’d still need to play for another five seasons to catch up with him.</p>
<h3>3. Jayson Tatum</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_jayson_tatum.jpg_22993414_2dfba753.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jayson Tatum — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Even though it seems like <strong>Jayson Tatum </strong>has been in the league for ages, he’s still quite young, so there’s a big chance he could play long enough to catch up with LeBron, especially if he stays as healthy as he’s been for most of his career.</p>
<p>Tatum is one of the most efficient volume scorers in the league, and one that will be a primary scorer for at least another decade. Thus far, the<strong> Boston Celtics </strong>superstar has averaged <strong>22.1 points</strong> per his career, but he’s averaging 31.1 points now.</p>
<h3>2. Giannis Antetokounmpo</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_giannis_antetokounmpo.jpg_22993414_52cb8a32.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Giannis Antetokounmpo — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo </strong>hasn’t even turned 30 and he’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer already. He currently ranks 13th among active players in total points scored, even ahead of some that have been in the league for longer.</p>
<p>Giannis is an ironman, meaning he rarely misses games. He’ll be the<strong> Milwaukee Bucks’</strong> franchise player for at least the next 10 years, and his scoring numbers have gone up every season. He’s averaging 31.8 points this season, and <strong>22.4 points</strong> per his career.</p>
<h3>1. Luka Doncic</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230208_BUS_213023_luka_doncic.jpg_22993414_d961ef6e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Luka Doncic — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Dallas Mavericks </strong>star<strong> Luka Doncic</strong> has only been in the league for nearly five seasons, yet he’s already one of the most unstoppable scorers this game has ever seen. Right now, he’s the one with the biggest chance to take down LeBron James as the league’s all-time leading scorer.</p>
<p>Doncic’s scoring averages continue to go up, and he’s shooting over 50% from the floor as a perimeter player, just like LeBron. He’s currently averaging 33.4 points per the season and <strong>27.4 points</strong> per his career, so he’d need to keep that pace for the next 13 years to break James’ record.</p>

<p>However, the All-Star Game is also <strong>a massive popularity contest.</strong> That doesn’t bode well with those from small-market teamsor for those hard-working guys who put up big numbers under the radar.</p>
<p>Even though some underrated players have balled out throughoutthe whole season, they’re not likely <strong>to make the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/2023-NBA-All-Star-Game-How-to-vote-for-each-team-20221228-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022-23 All-Star Game</a>. </strong>Here, we’re going to let you know about the top-3 players likeliest to be snubbed.</p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Potential All-Star Likely To Be Snubbed</h2>
<h3>3. Kristaps Porzingis</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230119_BUS_211920_kristaps_porzingis.jpg_22993414_101c6cbe.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kristaps Porzingis – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It’s been years since<strong> Kristaps Porzingis </strong>was a fan favorite, and it’s not like the <strong>Washington Wizards </strong>have balled out this season. But he’s been putting up huge numbers on the low throughout the whole season.</p>
<p>Porzingis has also been linked with multiple potential trades, and he could be gone if the Wizards continue to struggle. Thus far, he’s averaging <strong>22.2 points with 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.5 blocks on 47% shooting.</strong></p>
<h3>2. Kyle Kuzma</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230119_BUS_211920_kyle_kuzma_x1x.jpg_22993414_72339cc8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kyle Kuzma – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Another member of the <strong>Washington Wizards </strong>makes the cut. <strong>Kyle Kuzma </strong>is playing the best basketball of his career, and it’s evident that he’s motivated to opt out of the final year of his contract and get a big payday.</p>
<p>Kuzma is a lock to be moved before the deadline unless the Wizards get on an unlikely hot run. Throughout the season, he’s averaged a whopping <strong>21.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.5 triples a night.</strong></p>
<h3>1. Anthony Edwards</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230119_BUS_211920_anthony_edwards_1.jpg_22993414_6e7531b9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Anthony Edwards – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>We won’t blame you if you haven’t watched many <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves </strong>games as of late, as they’ve been one of the biggest disappointments in the NBA this season. But that’s not because of <strong>Anthony Edwards.</strong></p>
<p>Edwards continues to take leaps forward and is already the best player in the organization, yet he gets little-to-no credit. Right now, the former first-overall pick is averaging <strong>23.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.7 steals, and 2.5 three-pointers on 45% from the floor.</strong></p>

Here, we’ll dig a little deeper into that.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Young Players Ready To Become All-Stars</h2>
<h3>3. Tyrese Maxey</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221003_BUS_201798_tyrese_maxey_1.jpg_22993414_8783bde2.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Tyrese Maxey – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Early reports from <strong>Philadelphia 76ers’</strong> training camps have been very positive when talking about<strong> Tyrese Maxey.</strong> He’ll share the backcourt with <strong>James Harden</strong> and is the frontrunner to earn Most Improved Player honors.</p>
<p>Maxey has a big bag of moves and is a three-level scorer and underrated playmaker. He’ll thrive on and off the ball with Harden mentoring him, and he might as well be the team’s second-best player behind <strong>Joel Embiid.</strong></p>
<h3>2. Tyler Herro</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221003_BUS_201798_tyler_herro_x1x.jpg_22993414_80fe81ab.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Tyler Herro – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>After months of speculation and even trade rumors, <strong>Tyler Herro</strong> finally got his payday. Now, he’ll need to pay that confidence back on the court, and some believe he might be ready to be a starter going forward.</p>
<p>The <strong>Miami Heat</strong> have always been quite high on the Kentucky productand for very good reasons. Herro is way more than just a sharpshooter, and he keeps making strides to improve on the defensive end of the floor.</p>
<h3>1. Anthony Edwards</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221003_BUS_201798_anthony_edwards.jpg_22993414_96c48c40.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Anthony Edwards – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Anthony Edwards</strong> didn’t disappoint the slighest. He’s been a stud since day one, and he made it a personal challenge to become a solid defender, a challenge that proved successful in his second year in the league.</p>
<p>Edwards has the whole package, and he’s already the best player in a young, resurging <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves</strong> team that’s going to turn a lot of heads next season. Don’t be shocked to see him enterthe MVP race as well.</p>

<p>The league and his team released statements calling him out for his immature, unnecessary, and <strong>offensive behavior.</strong> He later took to social media to apologize and claim that he wasnothomophobic.</p>
<p>But the cat was already out of the bag, and<strong> Los Angeles Lakers legend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/video-kareem-abdul-jabbar-settles-the-goat-debate-between-lebron-mj-and-himself-on-jimmy-fallon-20220622-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</a></strong> doesn’t think a simple apology is gonna cut it. Instead, he believes Edwards should actually volunteer and work with the LGBTQ+ community.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Says Anthony Edward’s Apology Is Not Enough</h2>
<p><strong>(Via Kareem’s Substack)</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“My Take: Another athlete, another anti-gay slur</strong>. Last year, Kevin Durant was fined $50,000 fine for using “offensive and derogatory language on social media” after texting messages that included threatening language and anti-gay and misogynistic slurs. He also apologized.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>It would be easy to dismiss Edwards’ immaturity—he’s only 21—if not for the fact that we’ve seen so many cases of famous athletes and owners in the news spouting racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments. This damages sports in general and their teams specifically, and revives the old stereotype of the dumb, bullying jock.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>But more important, it perpetuates prejudice against a group and that prejudice often leads to restricting rights and to violence.<strong> I don’t think an apology—however heartfelt—is enough. Edwards needs to repair the damage with some voluntary community service with LGBTQ+ organizations, particularly youth groups, to show his support.</strong> <strong>If he can’t do that much to undo the harm he’s caused, then his apology is meaningless.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Kareem is one of the biggest activists in sports history, so it’s only natural to see that he’s not going to tolerate <strong>this kind of behavior.</strong> Now, whether Edwards will actually listen to him,remains to be seen.</p>

<p>Having tied some youth records of LeBron James, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lakers-legend-robert-horry-names-nba-untransferable-players-neither-lebron-james-nor-kevin-durant-20220714-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luka Doncic</a></strong>or <strong>Kevin Durant</strong>, Anthony Edwards expressed his confidence that at the end of the 2022 NBA season his name could enter the debate about who is the best player in the league.</p>
<p>“<em>100 percent. Sure. I mean it comes with time and it comes with work and dedication. I feel like I got all three of those things and I feel like it’s going to take me over the top…I need another year. After this year, I think I’ll be in the (best player) conversation</em>.”, stated the<em>Ant-Man</em>in an interview for <em>Complex</em>.</p>
<p>This is not the first time Edwards has boasted about his abilities, as he even included himself in his own <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/neither-michael-jordan-nor-kobe-bryant-anthony-edwards-picks-himself-in-all-time-starting-5-20220603-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">all-time starting five ahead of legends <strong>Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan</strong></a>. Even the <strong>Chicago Bulls</strong> superstar also singled him out as having the potential to be better than him. So far, Anthony has reflected on the court what he has said with his mouth.</p>

<p>This <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/golden-state-warriors-nba-finals-appearances-complete-list-of-all-their-championship-definitions-20220602-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA season</strong></a> was one to remember for the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-trade-rumors-timberwolves-could-move-one-of-their-all-stars-20220506-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Minnesota Timberwolves</strong></a>, who went further than expected by making the playoffs via the play-in tournament. Some people around the league mocked them for how they celebrated making the first round, <strong>but for them it was a great sign of progress.</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, their trip didn’t last long, as they couldn’t get past the first round of the playoffs. However, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/karl-anthony-towns-and-2-other-timberwolves-players-named-to-the-all-nba-team-multiple-times-20220524-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timberwolves</a> have an interesting core to build on, <strong>with promising young players such as Anthony Edwards</strong>.</p>
<p>His career is just getting started and it remains to be seen how far he makes it in the NBA, but he <strong>seems to be pretty confident</strong> about his abilities. In fact, he considers himself<strong>good enough to make the all-time starting five</strong>.</p>
<h2>Anthony Edwards picks himself over Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant in all-time starting five</h2>
<p>When asked what would be his favoritestarting five of all time, Edwards had no problem in choosing himself over the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/michael-jordan-answer-to-a-famous-actor-proposal-to-make-his-life-story-into-a-movie-20220526-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></a> or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kobe-bryants-teammates-didnt-like-him-says-gilbert-arenas-20220525-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kobe Bryant</strong></a>.That’s right, at just 20 years of age, he put himself in the list.</p>
<p><strong>Allen Iverson, himself, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Shaquille O’Neal</strong>. Whenever someone argues who’s the GOAT or what’s the greatest team of all time, people will probably have something to sayabout it.<span></span></p>

Neither Michael Jordan nor Kobe Bryant: Anthony Edwards picks himself in all-time starting 5

Neither Michael Jordan nor Kobe Bryant: Anthony Edwards picks himself in all-time starting 5 - Bolavip US

<p>It took him a while but <strong>Anthony Edwards </strong>has finally taken off. The Georgia product <strong>entered the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a></strong>as the first overall pick of the draft and with high hopes and expectations but coming off the bench wasn’t doing it for him.</p>
<p>The<strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/minnesota%C2%A0timberwolves-t100374" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Minnesota Timberwolves</a> </strong>were forced to slide him<strong> in the starting unit </strong>due to multiple injuries and Edwards has been on a roll ever since. He looks like a veteran and is scoring in multiple ways over the best defenders in the world.</p>
<p>Edwards has shown glimpses of greatness already and he’s coming off the best three-game stretch of his young career, joining quite the exclusive club with <strong>some of the best scorers to ever do it.</strong></p>

<h2>Anthony Edwards Joins Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, And LeBron James In Exclusive Club</h2>
<p>According to ESPN Stats Info and ESPN’s Tim McMahon, Anthony Edwards is now the<strong> third-youngest player </strong>with a 40-point game (19 years and 225 days), ahead of<strong> Carmelo Anthony</strong> and trailing<strong> Kevin Durant, and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James.</a></strong></p>

<h2>Anthony Edwards Breaks NBA Record</h2>
<p>If joining three of the greatest scorers of all time wasn’t enough, Edwards has already written his name in the history books with his impressive three-game stretch. With his games of 34, 29, and 42 points; he became the<strong> first teenager to score 100+ points (105) over a three-game span,</strong> as per ESPN.</p>

<p>It’s still pretty early to tell but it’s clear that Edwards’ upside is through the roof. He can score at will and has the athletic traits to become a <strong>lockdown defender a</strong>s well, although he’s still a work in progress in that regard.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Edwards’ shot-selection and basketball IQ continue to improve by the day, and it seems like the Timberwolves should focus on building around him and trying to explore the market on <strong>D’Angelo Russell </strong>and maybe, even <strong>Karl-Anthony Towns.</strong></p>
