Trae Young Makes Bold Anthony Edwards Statement

There hasn’t been a more impressive team thus far in the NBA playoffs than the Minnesota Timberwolves. After sweeping the Phoenix Suns in the first round, Minnesota has the defending champion Denver Nuggets in an 0-2 hole and the leader of that team is Anthony Edwards, who has become one of the faces of the NBA with his way of play. .

It wasn’t long ago that Edwards was a prospect in the 2020 NBA Draft, a draft where the Hawks had chances to land one of the top four picks, but ended up falling to No. 6, where drafted Onyeka Okongwu, who has become a key player. part of this franchise during its first four seasons.

But could you imagine if the Hawks had won the lottery and allowed Edwards to team up with Trae Young? Atlanta is in a tough position right now and is likely preparing to break down the backcourt duo of Young and Dejounte Murray. If the Hawks had found a way to win the draft lottery, their franchise’s outlook might be completely different right now.

In a social media post today, Young commented on Edwards saying, “I should have been a hawk to begin with, but that’s for another day…”

While this is a complete guess, it’s fun to imagine Edwards and Young as a duo. Edwards complements a player like Young very well and not to mention Edwards played his only season of college basketball at the University of Georgia.

But the reality is that Edwards leads Minnesota and they could even be considered the favorites to win the NBA title, even though Vegas still favors the Boston Celtics to this day.

But what could have been.
