Since he was first selected in the NBA design of 2020, Anthony Edwards has continued to improve. He is the best player in a Timberwolves team that has reached back-to-back conference final. After just 24 years on 5 August, Edwards is already established as one of the top players in the competition.
A 6-foot-4 shooting guard, Edwards certainly has the chance to be seen as one of the greats of all time in the position while his career continues. He should be many years to improve his status because he has not even reached his prime. For now, most of them would agree that he is the best shooting guard currently in the competition.
On Monday, Hoopshype placed their top 26 shooters List for 2025-26. It was not surprising that it was Edwards that led the list, arranged as the top two-guard in the NBA.
Mentioned Anthony Edwards as the best shooting guard of the NBA
Now, just because Edwards is almost universal as the best, does not mean that there is no abundance of other excellent players in the position. Numbers two to five on the best shooting guard list of Hoopshype in order in order his top NBA artists in Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Williams, Jaylen Brown and Devin Booker.
Mitchell was the top scorer and a first team All-NBA member last season in a top placed Cavaliers team in the east. Williams made the third team All-NBA and of course just won a title with the Thunder. Brown was the ECF and Finals MVP in 2024. Booker has on average more than 25 points each of the last seven seasons on average (at least 24.9 in the last eight).
The next two are Tyler Herro, last season for the first time an All-Star, and Amen Thompson, an all-defensive first team member in 2024-25. Other remarkable names on the list are Austin Reaves, Zach Lavine, Desmond Bane, Jalen Green and Bradley Beal. Although there is a lot of talent in the position of the shooting guard, it is Edwards that is often mentioned as the best of the competition.
Edwards is a top 5 MVP favorite for the coming season
Prepared for his sixth NBA season, Edwards has finished in MVP in the last two years. His score average was improved after every season and his 27.6 points per match in 2024-25 was the fourth highest in the competition. Edwards also connected to a competition-leading 320 three-Pointers.
On Draftkings Sportsbook, Ant-Man has the fifth best chances to win MVP on +1500 (behind Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgouses-Alexander, Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo).
