Anthony Edwards paid tribute to his late mother and grandmother as he was named the NBA's number one draft pick with a Minnesota Timberwolves move.
Anthony's family members died of cancer. The 19-year-old Georgia guard sat next to paintings of the pair as the announcement was made.
"Its an indescribable feeling - I can't even describe it," said Edwards.
"My family is emotional. I'm sure when I get off here I'm going to get emotional."
Edwards stands to earn a four-year contract worth $44.2 under terms of the existing collective bargaining agreement.
The draft was originally scheduled for 25th June but had been delayed because of the fallout from coronavirus.
