Number one pick in the draft and we got barely onto the 2nd page on this guy so far. What does that say?

Re: *** Official Anthony Edwards Chat ***
Anthony Edwards is still a kid. His body nor his mind have matured yet. He has the potential to be an unstoppable force.
Most of the Wolves are gym rats. Always working on their game. Edwards is going to embrace that culture I think.
I will say it again. Wiggins was a shit load better player in the NBA when Ricky Rubio was the PG. Bringing back Rubio is the perfect move after drafting Edwards. Ricky is going to make this game fun for Edwards... and will make it fun for us. You watch.
My one concern is I don't think we have the right Head Coach for Edwards. I think Edwards would do better with someone like a Popovich (relax, just an example)... an older coach that is wise and respected. I hope that they assign David Vanterpool to Edwards and let him work on him.
Bottom line Timberwolves are not going to let him fail.

Re: *** Official Anthony Edwards Chat ***
I’ve been against this pick since day one. Had an average season in college with poor shooting metrics. Then Throughout the draft process he’s shown just about every red flag you could imagine, countless interviews confirming his lack of desire and focus, his poor shooting performance at his pro day. But he’s on the team now so going to root for the kid.
He has a lot of work in front of him to make Rosas look like a genius. But there is talent to unearth here, and he seems universally liked by other players.

Wiggins never had the fire for competition. You could knock his dick in the dirt and he'd take it. Edwards doesn't seem that way. He looks like he wants to compete.

Yes. Wolves will roll out with 3 guards... if you want to put them in position, Edwards will probably be guarding SF's.

Yes, I made the same observation, I hate when they call him Wiggins 2.0. He is nothing like Wiggins. Wiggins is a Beta... Edwards is an Alpha.

Re: *** Official Anthony Edwards Chat ***
Feel like I’ve said this a million times, no one is/should be comparing their games. The comparison is between their inconsistent motors. This is what prevented Wiggins from achieving his full potential and will likely do the same for Edwards.Philo Beddoe wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 9:29 amYes, I made the same observation, I hate when they call him Wiggins 2.0.

Gotta give this kid a chance. I bet he knows everyone's view of him, now he just has to show it on court. I really hope he can pick up the energy Josh shows on court and the workout routine of Kat and company.

I hope the Ant-Man gets here immediately and starts working on his body and working on the court with Vanterpool and Prigioni. He doesn't get Summer League or much time to work with his new coaches before the season starts.

If we take a look at all the #1 draft picks, I guess there is a decent percentage that Edwards succeeds.

What I like about him is the fact that he has no conscience. The problem with him is he has no conscience.

Dude can be so red hot and ice cold..
If he can be consistent he will be damn good.. Like his stroke, very clean.
Definitely has a chance to be very good! I will go with giving him the requisite chance and some time to figure it out.
He has the ability to take over a game. No doubt about that.
Watched everything I could last night.

Now THAT I love to hear. He knows that he is going to be the 3rd wheel for now. No more inefficient wings jacking up more shots then one of the best offensive big man alive

Re: *** Official Anthony Edwards Chat ***
He'll get more room to operate than he did in college with less doubles, so his pure shooting will either sink or swim long-term. But he'll also have to be able to deal with not having the ball in his hands as much, which either puts him out of rhythm or keeps him fresher throughout the game. That seems to be the standard for guys who carry the load in college that transition well to the NBA and isnt on a starless team.mglviks wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 10:26 am Dude can be so red hot and ice cold..

Re: *** Official Anthony Edwards Chat ***
My biggest worry is the guy doesn't seem to like basketball.
How is he going to be a gym rat etc with this attitude?
I see a guy who will be easily distracted after cashing in a huge payday and being out of the league in 5. Hope I'm wrong.
Probably ends up in a failed rap career or a stick up kid.

Have you all talked yourselves into liking the pick yet? I mean the kid doesn't even like basketball. That should tell you all you need to know.

"Does he like sit around and watch basketball for 3, 4 hours? Probably not. I think you’d be surprised how few kids his age do. Now 3, 4 hours in the gym. That’s a different story."
