2020 National Treasures Anthony Edwards ROOKIE PATCH AUTO /99 #111 BGS 9.5

As if Anthony Edwards needed more fuel for a breakout third season, a recent NBA survey should have him boiling. A pool of 15 NBA coaches, scouts, and executives were asked who they thought would be the best player in the NBA in five years, and somehow, none of them mentioned the young Timberwolves guard. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Dončić, and Jayson Tatum received seven, six, and two of the votes, respectively, and while there is no question that these players will become the next faces of the league, leaving Ant-Man out of the conversation entirely is just plain silly. Edwards finished his sophomore season with the fourth-most points by a player before his 21st birthday, trailing only LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony. He also became the youngest player in NBA history to make ten three-pointers in a game and broke the Timberwolves’ franchise record for most 3s in a single contest. Still just 21 years old, Edwards has not even scratched his prime—and that is a scary thought for the rest of the league.

With the addition of a premier pick-and-roll player in Rudy Gobert to complement sharpshooting big man Karl-Anthony Towns, Edwards is primed for a career year as he solidifies himself as one of the NBA’s most lethal scorers. This 2020 National Treasures RPA is also a killer, as its BGS 9.5 grade and beautiful two-color patch could bury any other rookie card on the market today. Ant-Man is ready to make the leap in year three, and if he does, few must-have card lists will fail to include this stunning RPA.
