VJ Edgecombe: I like to learn from everybody, but the player I watch more than anyone is Anthony Edwards. Him being a two-way player, and he is able to play with and without the rock and play alongside other great players. - VJ

Based on those charts, the best bets to reach $1 million per game first are players who will sign supermax deals after Gilgeous-Alexander, who was drafted in 2018. Among the 2019 draft class, Ja Morant is the only player to make an All-NBA team, and that was three years ago. It seems unlikely anyone in this draft class will qualify for the supermax. However, the 2020 draft class offers two top candidates for supermax qualification: Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton. It's unknown for Haliburton since he'll miss all of next season due to an untimely Achilles tear. But Edwards has made two All-NBA second teams in a row, putting him on track to sign a supermax in the summer of 2027, which could be worth up to four years and $345 million and rise above $82 million in the second season.

Jon Krawczynski: Anthony Edwards is at the Wolves practice facility tonight working out. Can I see him through a window in the media room? Nope. But I can hear him.

“I wouldn’t trade these three for anyone,” Rodriguez said. “When you talk about Tim Connelly, coach Finch and Anthony Edwards, especially because of Anthony’s age, having those three together is a great kind of foundation.” Connelly’s contract is up, but he said earlier in the offseason that he wasn’t going anywhere and, team sources said, turned down overtures from other teams looking to poach him. A new deal is expected sometime this summer.

The Timberwolves, by contrast, had all but removed themselves from contention well before the weekend. They were not comfortable making an aggressive trade pursuit knowing that Durant, even though he maintains a close friendship with Wolves star Anthony Edwards, ultimately did not want to land in Minnesota.

Eastern Conference scout No. 1 on Dylan Harper: I don’t think he has a real high ceiling, but I think he’ll play, and play for a long time. College assistant coach No. 2 (his team played Rutgers): Very talented, can go both ways, right, left. Prefers left. Obviously, the bloodlines are there. Is he a one or a two? College head coach No. 1 (his team played Rutgers): He’s as good as anyone we’ve played against, including Markelle Fultz and Jabari Smith. He’s not as good as Cunningham or Anthony Edwards, who we also played. Really good reads out of pick-and-rolls for his age.

"Talked to some people close to Anthony Edwards," said Marc J. Spears on Wednesday's episode of NBA Today. "This is a non-story. He's in Atlanta working out. He loves his former teammate. He loves his current teammates. Some people close to me said he's focused on what's next with this team. And he's not flying to L.A. to try to convince K.D. anything different."

"Spears said this yesterday, I did not see it get picked up out there so I'm glad he's repeating it," added Brian Windhorst. "That's legitimately an important piece of information. Ant Edwards is not recruiting Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant says he doesn't want to be in Minnesota. The deal is not done. This is not heading towards Minnesota. Obviously things can change. This is not heading like Durant is going to Minnesota. Spears is making it very clear the way Ant is feeling."

Do you think social media has made people harder to impress when it comes to the Dunk Contest — almost like there’s a filter now where nothing feels new or exciting? And is there still a way to save it?” Jason Richardson: Yeah I think social media kind of does that. Because now no longer guys are doing these dunks and you can see people doing these dunks in camps and in the summertime; now you have competition of professional dunkers now and when you see some of these guys and some of things that they can do, it’s amazing and now you have an unrealistic expectation of wanting NBA players doing what those guys are doing and they’re training to do that. And so, in parts it hurts the Slam Dunk Contest in a sense that, Hey. Why isn’t Anthony Edwards in there taking it between his legs, 360 and then doing a tomahawk all at the same time? And people are like, Well… he can’t do that. And others will be like, Well, I saw a professional dunker do that. So I think it’s kind of hard because social media has almost kind of tainted us because we’ve seen so many guys that are doing so many spectacular dunks out there.

Prior to his arrival as the NBA’s next rising superstar, Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards also had dreams of making highlight-reel plays on the gridiron. Being a standout football player from a young age, it comes as no surprise that Anthony Edwards could manage becoming a dual-sport athlete, but given his massive success in The Association, he’ll have to keep dreaming about a life out on the field. This upcoming season, Edwards and Adidas will partner for an upcoming signature football cleat.

During the NFL season, we saw a huge uptick in the trend of players wearing customized sneakers-turned-cleats during their games on Sundays. Eagles’ Jalen Hurts was consistently rocking the newest Air Jordan footwear on the field, while players like Stefon Diggs and Tyreek Hill continued to show out with their custom creations.

DeMarcus Cousins: You can’t be a superstar if you’re only known in the States. I don’t consider that a superstar. The league is bigger than that—it’s a global brand. Once you start having that global impact, you go into that superstar status. I think it’s a combination of all those things. Charisma, as well. I mean, as great as Jokic is, you can’t sell him. You can’t market him because he’s not this great personality—and this is by choice. I had the opportunity to be teammates with him. He doesn’t care about the spotlight; he doesn’t want to be that type of guy. Then you have guys like Anthony Edwards—everything he says is gold, you know what I mean? So, obviously, charisma matters. I think it’s a combination of all those things. That’s what gets you a superstar."
