Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards doubles as one of the NBA's most electric players on the court and one of the most entertaining ones off it.

This year's contest is scheduled to take place Feb. 19 during the NBA's All-Star Weekend in Cleveland's Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons won last year's competition.

For now, Edwards is focused on guiding the Timberwolves to the playoffs. He's averaging 22.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists for a 22-23 team currently sitting ninth in the Western Conference.
