Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said that Anthony Edwards has grown six centimeters from the draft night (from 195cm to 201cm).

Per Minneapolis Star Tribune,Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Wednesday that Anthony Edwards has grown in the offseason. By that Finch didn’t just mean Edwards is improving his game, he meant the 20-year-old guard has actually gone up a few inches in height from the time the Wolves drafted him in November, from around 6-foot-4 to approximately 6-6. “This is a very Ant thing,” Finch said at the Star Tribune booth at the State Fair on Wednesday. “He told me don’t let me get to 6-6 or I’ll be Michael Jordan.”

“He’s an extremely unique player and has all this raw ability but he’s very literal when you coach him, like I say to him. ‘I need you to go out and do X,’ he’ll do it,” Finch said. “We discovered in the last part of the season, ‘I need you to get seven rebounds tonight,’ we gave him goals almost every game or every period of time so you give him stuff to focus on and he went out and did that.”
