Last season, Anthony Edwards ranked 17/16 (8/9-cat) per game and 4/6 (8/9-cat) in total value, while Cade Cunningham ranked 11/28 (8/9-cat) per game and 10/29 (8/9-cat) in total value. Edwards had a historic season hitting 320 total 3-pointers in the regular season and leading the Wolves’ second consecutive run to the Western Conference Finals. Cunningham ascended to stardom as an every-night triple-double threat, dragging the Pistons to the playoffs and authoring a tough six-game exit in the first round to eventual Eastern Conference Finals runner-ups, the Knicks.

Back-to-back No. 1 picks in 2020 and 2021, Edwards and Cunningham have matured into extraordinary NBA players and elite fantasy producers worthy of a selection in the first round.

But who do you want if both are available while you’re on the clock?
