Anthony Edwards Posterizes RJ Barrett Against Raptors

Anthony Edwards, back at it again. The Minnesota Timberwolves superstar threw down a ferocious dunk over RJ Barrett on Thursday, prompting the simple question from the box score: "How's this for a poster?" The play is another chapter in Edwards' highlight reel as he averages nearly 30 points per game and is emerging as one of the NBA's most watchable talents night after night. Merlin sees a pattern in those violent finishes. They do more than supply highlight packages. They force defenses to collapse, open shots for teammates, and lift Minnesota when Edwards is rolling. Keep him healthy and efficient and he moves from exciting scorer to true franchise centerpiece with All-NBA upside.
