Why Anthony Edwards is the new No. 1 in the Class of 2019

Posted Nov 24, 2018
With the news that Anthony Edwards is moving up to the 2019 class, there is now a new number one recruit in the 247Sports rankings. The 6-foot-5 guard is the modern-day scoring star that teams are looking for, and the translation of his game is why he takes over the top spot. While big men used to be the Holy Grail for basketball players, now the game is dominated by guards. (247 Sports)
