Get that man in the Dunk Contest.
Minnesota rookie and No. 1 pick Anthony Edwards has thrown down a few vicious dunks this season, but none quite as stunning as this one. Toronto’s Yuta Watanabe rotated over only to be part of the poster.

Edwards is having a solid rookie season and is averaging 14.3 points a game so far, and the man can get to the rim — 29.8% of his shots have come in the restricted area (with 18 total dunks).
His athleticism has been on display in more than just this dunk. He’s had a few other rim rattlers this season.
