Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves has made a name for himself as one of the best players drafted in 2020. As the first pick in the draft, Ant has bloomed into a star guard.
Edwards is an all-around scorer, and he's bound to be an All-Star, based on his talent. But he isn't alone in that path, as there are notable players who were drafted with him. The question is, how good are his stats this season compared to his fellow draftees?
