The Lakers face a big challenge during their upcoming playoff series versus the Timberwolves in the form of explosive superstar guard Anthony Edwards.

It will take a team effort to slow the dynamic Timberwolves star, who averaged career highs in points (27.3) and 3-point percentage (39.5%) and became a more willing passer this season.

In last year's playoffs, Edwards elevated his status as a premier scorer in the NBA, leading a sweep of the Phoenix Suns and a clutch Game 7 victory over the Denver Nuggets en route to the Western Conference Finals. Edwards averaged 27.6 points per game last postseason.
