Role
Edwards is the face of the franchise and Minnesota's starting shooting guard, coming off a 29.5 point per game season that confirmed him as a top-five player in the league. His three-point volume jumped again in 2025-26 and he remains the Wolves' late-clock answer. Everything Minnesota does starts with getting him downhill.
How he got here
Minnesota drafted Edwards first overall in 2020 out of Georgia. He signed a multi-year extension on July 8, 2023, keeping him under contract through 2029 before unrestricted free agency.
