Timberwolves' Edwards says he could throw baseball 100 mph

Anthony Edwards recently admitted to not knowing anything about baseball, but the Minnesota Timberwolves rookie is still confident in his abilities to play the sport.

In a Q&A with Tyler R. Tynes of GQ, Edwards insisted he could make it as an MLB player, and he believes he could throw a 92 or 93 mph fastball right now and 100 mph with a month of training.

"I gotta get my arm back right! I was a pitcher, but it be hurtin' my elbow," he said. "So once I get my arm back right, we be good."

Edwards also joked about playing for his hometown Atlanta Braves, adding, "Yeah, they can use me … in my offseason!"

The 19-year-old is averaging 18.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 58 games this season and has been mentioned in the Rookie of the Year conversation - but he isn't focused on that.

"Everybody be askin' me, I just tell them the same thing: Whoever picking the trophy, whatever it's called, if they think I am, then yeah. If they don't, then cool," Edwards said. "I'm just here to play basketball. I'm tryin' to be the best that I can be."
