NBA Draft 2020: 5 best fits for Anthony Edwards

1. Golden State Warriors

Kerr’s focus on building a cohesive group makes him the perfect pro coach for Edwards. Playing alongside stars like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson would also give the talented wing the easiest transition to the NBA possible.

It’s really a match made in heaven for both parties. Edwards needs to learn what it’s like to be a part of a machine rather than the entire engine. Landing in Golden State would allow him to learn what it means to play a secondary role for an elite team right away. That’s not a privilege he enjoyed in college.

The Warriors would love to add Edwards because he would give the franchise another potential star to utilize on the wing. Curry and Thompson aren’t going to play at an elite level forever. Adding a guy like Edwards to take some of the regular season burden away from them might help extend their playoff effectiveness.

Drafting Edwards would also give Golden State a solid alternative to Andrew Wiggins in case his acquisition doesn’t work out. That’s not the main reason why the Warriors will be interested in Edwards’ services, but it’s a nice bonus.

Golden State is a great landing spot for many of the top wings in this draft, but Edwards might be the prospect that needs to land in the team’s culture the most. Kerr could do wonders to unlock all of the talent that Edwards possesses.
