By Ryan Gaydos
Published November 19, 2020
The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Anthony Edwards with the No. 1 pick out of Georgia on Wednesday night to get the 2020 NBA Draft rolling.
Edwards moved up draft boards in the days leading up to the draft. The former Bulldogs standout had a solid freshman season, averaging 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals.
“It’s an indescribable feeling,” Edwards said virtually on the ESPN broadcast. “I can’t even describe it. So many emotions. My family is emotional. I feel like when I get out of here I’m going to be emotional. It’s beyond measure to be in this situation.”
