Georgia Bulldogs stud freshman and potential number one overall pick Anthony Edwards has declared for the 2020 NBA Draft. Edwards averaged a team-high 19.1 points per game for the University of Georgia during the 2019-2020 season.
Edwards will work on his efficiency in the NBA as he only shot 40% from the field and made under 30% of his three point attempts. That being said, Edwards will have better shot selection in the NBA.
247Sports’ Evan Daniels initially reported the news:

Edwards will be a joy to watch in the NBA. He has the talent and work ethic of an elite player. Can he put it together in the NBA?
The NBA team with the worst record in the NBA: the Golden State Warriors. It’d be something to watch Edwards play for Steph Curry and the Warriors, but Golden State is expected to trade the top overall pick for somebody who can help them win now. The Warriors title window is closing with 32 year-old Steph Curry, 30 year-old Klay Thompson, and 30 year-old Draymond Green.
The NBA regular season may already be over, but there will be a lottery to determine the order of the 2020 NBA Draft. The Atlanta Hawks currently have the fourth best odds at the number one pick. The Hawks come in behind the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Golden State Warriors.
