Draymond Green praises Anthony Edwards, calls him a 'one of one' player

Edwards' full arsenal has been on display throughout these playoffs. In the first round against the Lakers, he put Jaxson Hayes on a poster and also had three different games making at least four threes. In this series against the Warriors, Ant hit five threes and dunked all over Kevon Looney in Game 3, then torched Golden State from deep in Game 4.

In this second-round series, despite a slow start, Edwards has averaged roughly 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals while shooting 41 percent from long range. Led by him and Randle, the Wolves have simply had too much offense and star power for a Warriors team missing its own sharp-shooting superstar in Stephen Curry.

Edwards credits some of his shooting improvement to working out with Curry last summer when the two were USA Basketball teammates at the Paris Olympics. The two have had some friendly banter while Curry has been in street clothes on the Warriors' bench over the past few games.

"Trust me, man, I wish he could be out there to play against him, no matter how it goes," Edwards said after Game 4. "Just from working out with him in the summer, that's what I told him after I hit a (three). I had missed one and he was like 'you weren't gon' make that, you was too open.' And I was like 'I ain't gon' never stop shooting 'em, I learned that from you this summer.'"

If Curry (hamstring) can't play in Game 5 on Wednesday, he may not get the chance to suit up again in this series. The Wolves will be looking to close things out in that game in Minneapolis and avoid going back to San Francisco for a Game 6. And when Edwards is playing like he has over the last couple games, particularly in the second half, there's no ceiling to how far this Timberwolves team can go in these playoffs.
