Highly regarded going into both the University of Georgia and the NBA as the #1 Pick in 2020, Anthony Edwards had an excellent rookie season, earning All-Rookie accolades, and averaging 19.3 Points per Game.  This was the scoring touch they expected from Edwards as a rookie, but there were plenty of mistakes, as displayed by his advanced metrics, namely his sub-15.0 PER. 

This was common for rookies, and Edwards progressed nicely in his sophomore campaign, breaking the 20 PPG threshold, and minimizing miscues.  Edwards took it to the next level inhis third year, where he crept within a hair of 25 Points per Game and made his first All-Star Game.  In that off-season, he was the best player for the United States in the FIBA World Basketball Championship, but that was this a launhing pad.

Last year, Edwards was again an All-Star and added a SEcond Team All-Sta. . An MVP contender, Edwards broke the 25 PPG threshold and led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals.

If Edwards continues on this trajectory, he should be in the top three on this list quickly.
