Stephen A. Smith calls Anthony Edwards the best two-way guard in the league

The 22-year-old Anthony Edwards has been a fan favorite of basketball followers ever since his debut in the NBA. From veterans of the game to analysts, Ant-Man is getting showered with praise for his dominance on the court and tough mentality. Impressed by his performance in Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith has made a bold prediction about the second-round series.

Anthony Edwards is thriving in the postseason, first with a sweep of the Phoenix Suns and now defeating the defending champions. In just his fourth year in the NBA, the player is already generating significant buzz as a potential “face of the league.” Now, another big title has made its way towards Edwards’ name by Stephen A. Smith. 

I got Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves winning this series. He's so sensational it's hard to put into words…He is the best two-way guard in the NBA right now.
Stephen A. Smith said via ESPN’s NBA Countdown to Tip Off

With Edwards’ flawless shooting and scoring abilities, Smith was also impressed by the star’s capabilities at the defensive end. The veteran analyst went as far as putting the 22-year-old right behind the greatest shooting guards, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Some might say Smith’s claims are a bit far-fetched, but what Ant-Man has done in the last month is something that takes place once in a lifetime.

Only time will tell if Edwards succeeds at proving Smith’s claim about the Minnesota Timberwolves winning the series. As Edwards himself admitted that the Nuggets are a tough team to beat, the upcoming matchups will certainly be a treat for NBA fans.

Stephen A. Smith also called Anthony Edwards ‘a human highlight reel’

Smith, during the recent episode of ESPN’s First Take, chose the T-Wolves guard for his vote as the next ‘superstar’ of the league. The analyst had high praise for youngsters like Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but Edwards won the race due to his competitive and hungry attitude. 

Anthony Edwards is my guy. That's the guy I'm looking at right now. He's a human highlight reel. Plus, I love like JJ (Redick) pointed out, his moxy, his attitude. Interviewing him, talking to him, watching him play, it's something special to behold.
Stephen A. Smith said

With his incredible career-high 43-point outing against the Nuggets, Edwards also became a part of a unique record joining the great Kobe Bryant. The record has added one more essential achievement to Ant-Man’s resume to qualify for the face of the league claims.
