Edwards excelled in sports in his youth and was a standout basketball player at Holy Spirit Preparatory School in Atlanta, making him a five-star recruit. The University of Georgia recruited him and he immediately became a stellar player in his first year.
Among his college highlights, he was the freshman scoring leader, averaging 19.1 points per game in the 2019–2020 season. Edwards was nominated the SEC Freshman of the Year by league coaches, the first Bulldog to win that honor since its inception in 2001, according to his Georgia bio.

With a revamped starting lineup and executive management changes around the time of Edwards’ signing, the Wolves have had a winning record since the 2020–21 season. In his first year, Edwards became the third player — joining LeBron James (2004) and Kevin Durant (2008) — in NBA history to have 40+ points/5+ rebounds/5+ assists in a game as a teenager, according to the NBA.
Other accolades include becoming a two-time NBA All-Star and becoming one of five players in NBA history who currently leads their draft class in total points, free throws made, steals, and three-pointers made, according to the NBA. The other four players were Paul George (2010), Chris Paul (2005), Jamal Crawford (2000) and Magic Johnson (1979).
Edwards was part of Team USA, which won gold for men’s basketball in the 2024 Summer Olympics. That team featured powerhouse NBA players such as Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, and Tyrese Haliburton—all of whom made it to the 2024–25 playoffs. They dispensed Nikola Jokic and Serbia in the semifinals and Edwards’ teammate, Rudy Gobert, and France in the final.
