Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Anthony Edwards continues to dazzle NBA fans with his athleticism. His latest feat: a vicious one-handed slam that left the Sacramento Kings speechless.
After receiving the pass from D'Angelo Russell, Edwards quickly drove to the hoop. This caught the Kings' defense off guard as there was practically no one who covered him. And so the first overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft made the Kings pay with a vicious spike.

Here's a closer look at Edwards' slam. Even Karl-Anthony Towns was shaken at how high the Timberwolves rookie got up. It's important to note that Edwards just stands 6-foot-4.

Anthony Edwards' highlight reel against the Kings doesn't stop there. Below is another proof of the young gun's talents. He seems to be a natural at finishing the play via a nasty slam.
