Meet the college basketball star who is Anthony Edwards’ doppelgänger image

There's a video going viral on social media of a basketball player wearing No. 5 and smoking a defense for a huge dunk.

It's Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, right? 

Wrong.

Somehow, the young man in the video below that looks so much like Edwards is not actually Edwards. Here, have a watch for yourself.

That's actually Baylor commit Tounde Yessoufou.

Yessoufou is a four-star recruit out of Santa Maria, California, who 247Sports ranks as the No. 17 player in the Class of 2025.

He's listed at 6-foot-6, 210 pounds (Edwards is listed at 6-4, 225).

Yessoufou is originally from the African nation of Benin.

He literally broke the backboard in his first-ever high school game. 

Maybe he is Edwards after all, just the next coming.
