The Timberwolves really have no superstars in history. Edwards has played in the NBA for 4 years and is already the first in team history.

On May 12, the Timberwolves really had no superstars in history. Edwards played in the NBA for 4 years and brought 18 playoff wins to the Timberwolves, which is the first in team history. This fact makes people sigh that the history of the Timberwolves is indeed bleak. Since joining the NBA in 1989, the most glorious period in the Timberwolves' history was undoubtedly the Garnett era, but even the legendary power forward failed to lead the team further. Today, Edwards' rise has given Minnesota fans new hope, and the young defender is rewriting the team's history with his performance. The superstar vacuum in the history of the Timberwolves is an indisputable fact. Garnett is undoubtedly the greatest player in team history. He played for the Timberwolves for 12 seasons, led the team to the playoffs eight times, and reached the Western Conference Finals in 2004. This is the best record in the Timberwolves' history. However, Garnett's total playoff wins with the Timberwolves were only 17 games, one less than Edwards. This is not to belittle Garnett’s achievements, but to highlight the Timberwolves’ overall weakness in the playoffs. Although the Timberwolves in the Garnett era performed well in the regular season, they were always difficult to break through in the playoffs. In the end, Garnett also chose to leave in 2007, joining the Celtics and fulfilling their dream of winning.

In addition to Garnett, other stars in the Timberwolves' history are even less sensible. Although players such as Marbury, Love, and Towns have outstanding personal abilities, they have failed to lead the team to make breakthroughs in the playoffs. Marbury's time at the Timberwolves was short. Although Love's data was gorgeous, the team's record was always poor. Towns has long been criticized as a "data brush". It was not until Edwards' arrival that the team saw its true competitiveness.

Edwards' rise is a turning point in the history of the Timberwolves. After joining the Timberwolves as the No. 1 pick in 2020, Edwards quickly showed his superstar potential. In his rookie season, he averaged 19.3 points per game, increased to 21.3 points in the second season, and soared to 24.6 points in the third season. Last season, Edwards averaged 25.9 points per game and led the Timberwolves to the playoffs as third in the West. In the playoffs, he averaged 27.6 points per game, helping the team eliminate the Suns and the Nuggets and enter the Western Conference Finals. Although he ended up losing to the Mavericks, Edwards' performance has conquered everyone.

Edwards' 18 playoff wins brought to the Timberwolves are not only the first in team history, but also the beginning of a new era. His game style is passionate and explosive, and his big heart performance at a critical moment is reminiscent of a young Jordan or Wade. More importantly, Edwards' leadership and desire to win are something that other stars in the history of the Timberwolves do not have. He is always full of fighting spirit on the court and can drive his teammates. This characteristic has transformed the Timberwolves from a team that has been in the lottery zone for many years into a Western Conference powerhouse. The superstar vacuum in the history of the Timberwolves is also related to the team's management and operations. For a long time, the Timberwolves have made mistakes in drafts and trades, missing many potential new stars, and have failed to create a suitable championship lineup for stars such as Garnett. The luck of Edwards is that the Timberwolves he joined already have All-Star players such as Towns and Gobert, the team's lineup is more balanced and the management is more mature. This environment allows Edwards to focus on improving his game without having to carry the team alone like Garnett did.

Edwards' future is full of infinite possibilities. At the age of 22, he has shown the potential of a superstar, and the Timberwolves' lineup also has a foundation for long-term competitiveness. If you can stay healthy and continue to improve, Edwards is expected to lead the Timberwolves further and even reach the championship. For Minnesota fans, Edwards is not only the team's new hope, but also a key figure in rewriting the bleak chapter of team history.

The superstar vacuum in Timberwolves' history is a pity, but Edwards' appearance makes it possible to change all of this. His 18-game playoff victory is just the beginning and the road ahead is still long. If Edwards can continue his current performance, he will not only become the greatest player in the history of the Timberwolves, but also hopes to lead the team to the highest stage in the NBA. For a long-neglected team, Edwards has more to it than statistics, and he represents a completely new possibility and hope.
