While the Heat did make the 2025 NBA Playoffs, they were swept in the opening round, and nobody on the Heat played like a consistent No. 1 scoring option in their series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

That’s why when Minnesota Timberwolves veteran guard Mike Conley Jr. was asked who Anthony Edwards reminds him of, he didn’t hesitate to reach for greatness. But he also made it clear: Edwards is carving out something all his own. “I think his game is more like a D-Wade mix,” Conley told me.
