After the sudden blockbuster trade between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Charlotte Hornets, LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards are now playing in the same backcourt. This is a big deal because they were the top players from the 2020 class.
Back in the 2020-21 season, Ball and Edwards were the candidates for Rookie of the Year. Since then, there have been varying levels of success between the two players, which could improve now that they are in the same backcourt.
From being rivals to being in the same backcourt now, Ball and Edwards seem destined to play alongside each other. They don't play the same position, so they can co-exist on the same roster.
