Success wasn't guaranteed, but the Timberwolves knew they had to take a chance on Georgia guard Anthony Edwards.

Of course, they also have Anthony Edwards, the explosive, high-flying superstar guard who has been compared to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Edwards can not only throw down highlight dunks, but he's also a high-volume scorer and can wreak havoc on the defensive end.

Anthony Edwards had 18 of his 43 points in the third quarter to help the Minnesota Timberwolves pull away from the Utah Jazz for a 116-105 victory on Sunday to secure a spot in the playoffs and stay out of the play-in games.
