Anthony Edwards may not have been a prolific 3-point shooter when he entered the NBA.<\/p>\n

But now? The Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>‘ superstar is among the best, even hanging out in one realm with Golden State Warriors<\/a> legend Stephen Curry.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, Edwards was 5-for-8 from 3-point range as part of a 26-point night in the Wolves’ blowout win over the Miami Heat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That marked Edwards’ 41st game with at least five made 3-pointers since the start of the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n

And those 41 such games are tied for the most in the NBA in that span with Curry, according to Timberwolves PR.<\/p>\n

Edwards’ shooting rise has been impressive.<\/p>\n

This is his made 3-pointers per game average by season in his career, in chronological order:<\/p>\n

Clearly, he began raising his aim last season.<\/p>\n

And even with increased attempts the last two years have come increased efficiency. In 2024-25, Edwards shot 39.5% from deep, which was a career best. This season, he’s doing even better at 40.7% from downtown.<\/p>\n

At this rate, it won’t be long at all before Edwards has another game with a handful of triples.<\/p>\n
