The Wolves guard was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month on Thursday after averaging 24.2 points. That's the third most points in a calendar month by a teenager, trailing only Carmelo Anthony (27.1) and LeBron James (26.3) in league history.
The No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA draft, Edwards led all NBA rookies in points, three pointers, field goals and minutes per game (35.1). He had a career high 42 points against Phoenix on March 18.
High-profile victims in Minnesota include Mike Conley of the Timberwolves and Twins co-owner Jim Pohlad.
