He has entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, with a total score of Garnett! Huazi averaged 27+6+5 before the age of 24, comparing with James

The Western Conference Finals this season have come to an end. The Timberwolves lost to the Thunder with a big score of 1-4 and were eliminated. They were stopped in the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years and missed the first final in team history. Although the Timberwolves failed to reach the finals, it was already very good that they could reach the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. The last Western Conference team that could do this was the Warriors.

The Timberwolves were undoubtedly the number one hero for two consecutive years. Last season, he and Towns joined forces to successfully eliminate the Suns and the Nuggets and reach the Western Conference Finals. This season, Edwards joined forces with Randle, eliminating the Lakers and Warriors one after another, and reaching the Western Conference Finals again. After changing his helpers, Edwards was able to lead the team to the Western Conference Finals, proving that his team-leading ability is indeed very strong.

Of course, in the Western Conference Finals, Edwards' performance was unsatisfactory, with only 30+ in the second and third games, while scored less than 20 points in the other three games. It is precisely because Edwards is not powerful enough that the Timberwolves were easily eliminated by the Thunder 4-1. In addition, Randall's performance was not as good as the first two rounds. Although he scored 20+ in 3 games, he did not score in double digits in the other two games. However, there is indeed a gap in strength between the Timberwolves and the Thunder, so it is normal to take advantage of it.

Edwards' overall performance is still good this season, averaging 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game. However, compared with the previous two seasons, Edwards' average score was a little lower, mainly because his poor performance in the Western Conference Finals led to lower the score.

Edwards has excellent data so far in his playoff career, averaging 26.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, while he is less than 24 years old. Apart from Edwards, only James can play 25+5+5 in the playoffs before he was 24 years old (at least 30 games). Although Doncic's playoff statistics are more luxurious than Edwards, his appearances before the age of 24 are not as good as Edwards.

Because Edwards led the team to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, his number of appearances in the playoffs has reached 42 games, and his total score has reached 1,130 points, surpassing Garnett (1,049 points) and rising to the top in team history. Before Edwards, the Timberwolves had only reached the Western Conference Finals once, so Edwards' performance in the playoffs was already outstanding enough, but he was still a little young and immature enough, and the Timberwolves did not have the strength to compete for the championship.
