Anthony Edwards is capable of playing on both sides of the basketball court, a rare talent in the modern NBA. And one fan thinks that makes him the best in his age bracket.

LeBron James was anointed with the legendary nickname ‘The Chosen One’ when he was still in high school. Anthony Edwards isn’t that young, but one fan thinks his potential is that great.
The chosen one!

Anthony Edwards Is Living Up To His Promise Of Being An Elite Scorer For Team USA
Anthony Edwards has been developing his leadership abilities during his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves and it seems to be carrying forward to Team USA. His performance against Slovenia earned him a lot of plaudits as well, and he is becoming the face of this roster while living up to his promise.
“I can score the ball. I don’t care about the leader,” Edwards said to Bally Sports. “That’s what I do, I score the ball. So, why would I come out here and try to do something else?”
Anthony Edwards averaged 24.6 points per game in the NBA last season, and this experience with Team USA could elevate his game even further. If the praise is so high for exhibition games, it would be wild to see how much hype he will get if he carries this form into the World Cup and helps his team win it all.
