Minnesota Timberwolves superstar
Anthony Edwards has reached an exclusive list even the greatest
shooter of all time Stephen Curry was not able to do early in his
career.

On Saturday night, Edwards
became the youngest player in NBA history to hit 800 three-pointers
in their career. At just 23-years-old, Edwards’ game has evolved
from the time he was drafted in 2020 with his high-flying antics
and rim-soaring dunks. Now in his 5th NBA season, Edwards has
become a respectable shooter, and a hotshot at that as he gains
more reps into his shot.

Edwards has made it a point to
shoot more threes this season. Over the Wolves’ first three games,
Edwards has been 21-45 from three, shooting at a 39%
clip.

Edwards has been making his
threes in a variety of ways. There have been times he hits threes
on the move, off the dribble, stepbacks and on some catch and shoot
opportunities. This has highlighted his shotmaking and has been a
main source of Minnesota’s offense to start the year.

According to Wolves’ media Dane
Moore, Edwards has more than 50% of his shots from three, something
that he’s increased this year. Last season, only 30% of his shots
were from three, this year it’s up to 58% to start the
season.

Through 2.5 games, Anthony Edwards has taken
60 shots, and 35 of them have been 3s.

That’s 58% of his shots. Last season 30% of his shots were 3s.

Moreover, Edwards joined Curry
and Kemba Walker as the only players in NBA history to hit 5+ 3PT
in three straight games to start a season,
per Stat Mamba on
X. The 6-foot-4 guard
scored his 7,000th point in their game against the Toronto
Raptors.
