Andy Katz of NCAA.com has ranked Georgia basketball guard Anthony Edwards as the No. 11 player in the country entering the 2019-20 season.
Katz has put together a fun offseason series that ranks the top 25 players in the nation, and his newest set of rankings had Edwards in the top 15.
Kansas guard Devon Dotson ranked at No. 12, Cincinnati guard Jarron Cumberland at No. 13, Kansas center Udoka Azubuike at No. 14, and Ohio State forward Kaleb Wesson at No. 15.

Fellow SEC players Ashton Hagans and Andrew Nembhard have also made Katz’s list thus far.
Edwards enters his first season in Athens as the No. 2 recruit in the country.
Lovell’s Analysis
As mentioned in the previous ranking with Hagans and Nembhard, rankings are always subjective.
Some people may think Edwards is ranked too low, while some will believe he’s ranked too high.
But even if everyone has a different opinion of his ranking, something that can’t be ignored is his incredible talent and potential.
He’s currently projected as one of the top two picks in the 2020 NBA Draft, and he should give the Bulldogs a chance to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015.
