Los Minnesota Timberwolves han visto a 12 selecciones del Draft entre las cinco mejores preparadas para la franquicia durante sus 32 a\u00f1os de historia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninguno de ellos, ni ning\u00fan otro novato de los Timberwolves, anot\u00f3 tantos puntos en su temporada de novato como Anthony Edwards el jueves por la noche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La primera selecci\u00f3n general del draft de 2020 sum\u00f3 42 puntos, el r\u00e9cord personal, en la sorprendente victoria de Minnesota por 123-119 contra los Phoenix Suns. La actuaci\u00f3n supera a las anteriores noches de novatos de los Timberwolves de Zach LaVine (37), Karl-Anthony Towns (35) y Christian Laettner (35), y tambi\u00e9n supera a Tyrese Maxey de Filadelfia en la mayor cantidad de puntos anotados por un jugador de primer a\u00f1o esta temporada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A los 19 a\u00f1os y 226 d\u00edas de edad, Edwards se convierte en el tercer jugador m\u00e1s joven en la historia de la NBA en anotar 40 o m\u00e1s en un juego, solo detr\u00e1s de LeBron James y Kevin Durant. Edwards tambi\u00e9n es el primer novato en anotar 40 puntos o m\u00e1s en un juego desde que Grayson Allen perdi\u00f3 40 en los LA Clippers como novato con los Utah Jazz el 10 de abril de 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carmelo Anthony 19 a\u00f1os, 306 d\u00edas 30 de marzo de 2004
Edwards lleg\u00f3 al aro a voluntad contra un equipo de los Suns que ostenta el cuarto mejor \u00edndice defensivo de la liga. Dispar\u00f3 11 de 18 dentro del arco y tambi\u00e9n consigui\u00f3 13 tiros libres, el m\u00e1ximo del juego. Su bandeja de conducci\u00f3n con 2 minutos y 36 segundos restantes lo puso m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la marca de los 40 puntos y le dio a Minnesota la ventaja para siempre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards se ha desatado desde que el entrenador de los Timberwolves, Chris Finch, reemplaz\u00f3 a Ryan Saunders el 22 de febrero. En los 10 juegos desde entonces, el escolta de 6’4 pies est\u00e1 promediando 24.7 puntos, 5.8 rebotes y 2.3 robos mientras dispara un 41.9% desde el campo marcadamente mejorado. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abMe puse a trabajar\u00bb, dijo Edwards despu\u00e9s del partido del jueves. \u201cTrabajo en la oscuridad. Deber\u00eda salir a la luz \u00ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abEst\u00e1 floreciendo para nosotros en el momento adecuado\u00bb, agreg\u00f3 Finch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards no fue el \u00fanico ex pick No. 1 en irse por los Timberwolves contra Phoenix. Towns tambi\u00e9n domin\u00f3 la defensiva normalmente taca\u00f1a de los Suns con 41 puntos, un r\u00e9cord alentador en la temporada despu\u00e9s de que el grandote de 25 a\u00f1os luch\u00f3 contra las lesiones y el COVID-19 a principios de esta temporada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towns y Edwards se convierten en el s\u00e9ptimo par de compa\u00f1eros de equipo en anotar 40 o m\u00e1s cada uno en el mismo juego durante las \u00faltimas 20 temporadas, y el primero desde que Kawhi Leonard y Paul George lo hicieron el 13 de diciembre de 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minnesota Timberwolves have seen 12 top-five Draft picks suit up for the franchise during its 32-year history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of them \u2014 or any other Timberwolves rookie for that matter \u2014 scored as many points in his rookie season as Anthony Edwards did on Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The No. 1 overall pick of the 2020 draft poured in a career-high 42 points in Minnesota\u2019s stunning 123-119<\/a> win against the Phoenix Suns. The performance bests previous Timberwolves rookie nights by Zach LaVine (37), Karl-Anthony Towns (35), and Christian Laettner (35), and also surpasses Philadelphia\u2019s Tyrese Maxey for most points scored by a first-year player this season.https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1372760535620489222&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nba.com%2Fnews%2Fanthony-edwards-42-points-make-mark-in-nba-rookie-history&theme=light&widgetsVersion=e1ffbdb%3A1614796141937&width=500px<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 19 years and 226 days old, Edwards becomes the third-youngest player in NBA history to score 40 or more in a game, trailing only LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Edwards is also the first rookie to score 40 or more points in a game since Grayson Allen dropped 40 on the LA Clippers as a rookie with the Utah Jazz on April 10, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards got to the rim at will against a Suns team boasting the fourth-best defensive rating in the league. He shot 11-for-18 inside the arc and earned a game-high 13 free throw attempts, too. His driving layup with 2 minutes, 36 seconds remaining put him past the 40-point mark and gave Minnesota the lead for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards has been unleashed since Timberwolves coach Chris Finch replaced Ryan Saunders on Feb. 22. In the 10 games since, the 6-foot-4 guard is averaging 24.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals while shooting a markedly improved 41.9% from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI put in the work,\u201d Edwards said after Thursday\u2019s game. \u201cI work in the dark. It should come to the light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s blooming for us at the right time,\u201d Finch added.https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-1&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1372781665198559233&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nba.com%2Fnews%2Fanthony-edwards-42-points-make-mark-in-nba-rookie-history&theme=light&widgetsVersion=e1ffbdb%3A1614796141937&width=500px<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards wasn\u2019t the only former No. 1 pick to go off for the Timberwolves against Phoenix. Towns also dominated the Suns\u2019 normally stingy defense for 41 points of his own, an encouraging season-high after the 25-year-old big man had battled injuries and COVID-19 earlier this season.https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-2&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1372763610976448520&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nba.com%2Fnews%2Fanthony-edwards-42-points-make-mark-in-nba-rookie-history&theme=light&widgetsVersion=e1ffbdb%3A1614796141937&width=500px<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towns and Edwards become just the seventh pair of teammates to each score 40 or more in the same game over the last 20 seasons, and the first since Kawhi Leonard and Paul George did so on Dec. 13, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
