Chris Finch at Timberwolves Media Day [FULL] Timberwolves coach Chris Finch spoke with reporters on Monday at the team's media day at Target Center. They open training camp on Tuesday, and Finch said Anthony Edwards can be the NBA's MVP if he wants to be. ‘He can be one of the greatest of all time’ Why you should care: Edwards played all but three regular season games last year, and averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game while shooting nearly 40 percent from the perimeter. He’s entering his sixth season in Minnesota, and is averaging 23.9 points per game for his career. The Timberwolves will go as far as Edwards can take them. "We think he’s not only a great player, but can be one of the greatest players of all time," Timberwolves front office head Tim Connelly said. Finch said Edwards has the DNA to be the NBA’s MVP. He’s finished seventh in voting two straight years. "Continue to be that every night player at a high level that we know he can be, which is what you need to do if you want to be MVP in this league," Finch said. "I certainly think he has the DNA for it, he just has to embrace it." ‘All MVP’s win at a high level’ Anthony Edwards reacts: After getting high praise from Connelly and Finch on Monday, Edwars was asked during his turn at the podium what it would take for him to win the NBA MVP. "We’ve got to win. All MVP’s win at a high level. Average a whole bunch of points. I think that’s the main recipe, win and average a whole bunch of points," Edwards said. He also said to make the next step and reach the NBA Finals, the Timberwolves have to gel during the summer. He talked about not knowing when teammates held summer camps for kids. He said the best NBA teams care about each other. "I think it starts in the summer time, winning starts with being together. We can’t wait until the All-Star break to try to become a team, we’ve got to do it now," Edwards said. Timberwolves 2025-26 roster What we know: The Timberwolves return largely the same roster from last season.
