Anthony Edwards says he is the first option

Anthony Edwards is a superstar full of confidence and charisma, which was evident during press conferences as well. Team USA has a stacked roster full of NBA superstars and veterans. Despite that, the Minnesota Timberwolves guard stated that he sees himself as the main option for Team USA as they play for the coming Olympics.

After coming off the best season of his career so far, Anthony Edwards is in high spirits as he displays main character energy on this stacked team. Team USA consists of superstars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard who have been in the NBA for more than a decade and have left their mark on the league. 

I'm still the number one option. Y'all might look at it differently.

Edwards had a dominant season averaging 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game. His numbers were even better in the playoffs and was an important piece for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After the season, Edwards’ confidence was naturally high. He is the youngest member of the current Team USA at the age of 22 and will continue to earn the respect of the veterans.

Anthony Edwards’ new teammate was in trouble over s*xual assault

Minnesota Timberwolves selected Illinois star Terrence Shannon Jr. as the 27th overall pick in the draft. For Shannon, it was always a dream to play in the NBA. However, Shannon has to keep his behavior at its best as he is playing alongside Anthony Edwards. The young player is just getting out of the crutches of a s*xual assault case.

Last September Shannon was arrested and charged with s*xual assault. The charges were denied by his lawyers but he got suspended by the Illinois Fighting Illini. However, the federal court overturned the suspension. He was proven 100% innocent.

He returned to the lineup after missing 6 games. Shannon played well in the crucial season and eventually lost to the then-champions Uconn. Shannon’s addition to the Timberwolves is great as he will add fresh energy to the team. Playing alongside star guard, Edwards is the cherry on top for the young star.
