*** Official Anthony Edwards Chat ***

If Edwards could carry the Wolves to the No. 1 seed, shouldn’t he be considered for league MVP?

[somuchyummy]

i'm becoming more and more impressed with his ability to seemingly get 30+ ppg without too much effort. The points just come.

yeah he's a scorer--not a shooter. he was feeling it at the end of the game last night. i don't remember him dribbling into and then burying too many threes this year. he got that one to go in late.

Yes.


Especially if Towns misses the last 20 games or so and Gobert misses a handful here.


There’s not much buzz about it, but why not?

Charles Barkley thinks Anthony Edwards can be MVP if Wolves win the West
"I think Ant-man should win the MVP."

i'm sure Ant saw that and said let's do it!

I guess we won’t have to worry about it until
we earn the No. 1 seed.

Even if he was 0-15 I'd still want him to shoot it. Has the rare ability to take over a game and humiliate everyone on the court at a moments notice.

Bill Simmons (that BIll SImmons!) said it best a few months ago, Ant has takeover ability on both ends of the floor that rival the best players to ever do it.

Some ex players who have worked with Ant talked to me about Ant 3 years ago. I saw the flash of the dog and killer in him, and that athletically he was Jordan-esque..I was told,” yep, but he has a lot of growing up to do - he has to learn to be a professional, and take care of his body-He is playing on pure talent and needs to mature before he will be dominant.”

He seems to be getting there. He will get calls if he starts dominating like he is capable of. Right now he is spending energy on chirping about contact and it’s working against him a little. The refs have obviously sucked and I’m sure it’s frustrating, but he has turned into KAT, who ironically doesn’t chirp nearly as much this year..

This is the least Towns has complained in like 5 or 6 seasons easily. I love it. Ant is the one who needs to reign it in at this point. His gripes are usually well founded like you have noted. There's a lot of contact near the rim that for whatever reason they just don't call for him. The clapping and the little explosion of outbursts he does, we could do without that.

I think part of it is actually his strength- he doesn’t get knocked off his spot when in the air easily because he has power and control. Hard fouls don’t look like it because he still completes the motion. He is going for the and 1 as he should, but until the start calling it he may have to exaggerate the contact not power through it. It will likely mean less 3 point plays but more fouls and FT (for now). Barkley was similar being smaller inside, where Ants fouls are happening on slash drives.

He really is Black Jesus

[somuchyummy]

Kyle Anderson is one of the funniest parts of the whole thing.

[jffl_commish]

Holy shit Ant.

[jffl_commish]

You guys have probably already posted these, and sorry if you did. I'm just catching up. This is awesome. Poster a dude and give him your jersey.

[j-one]

I think he'll go for 70 at some point in his career. Full O game coming together, 3's, gets to the line, mid range, left hand finishes, TOs aren't as bad. About all he needs to do is to figure out is his half court buzzer beaters.

horton said that hes seeing more wolves jerseys in the opposing arenas. Antman is building the fan base.

Any word about Ant’s finger?

Broken?

Dislocated?

Sprained?

[weimy froob]

the horton call.

Edwards dislocated the finger on the off hand that mashed into Collins’ face, but got it put back into place and taped up during Minnesota’s ensuing timeout.

And he never looked back from there. As he’s been wont to do of late, Edwards took over the contest, controlling the game with relative ease.

They didn't have to amputate it so he's good

Not only is he great, seems near indestructible. Walks off twisted ankles and dislocated joints like no one's business

[DonaldDouchebag]

What a game. Whoo!!!

[boxter432]

He hits that three tonight and wolves win in OT and he would have shot up to top 5 probably behind joker, SGA and Giannis alojg with, Luka and Tatum with Kawhi/AD/KD and company ate around or near him. He keeps scoring 30+ w/o KAT and wolves hold top 3 seed he’ll be top 5. It’s jokers to lose though, he’s surrounded by role players and Murray some games. They are essentially the sixers and lose jokic they would be .500 at best (Murray/Maxey:joker/embiid)

[BuDG123]

We need health now. Health and stamina. Ants growing. He is still so young. He loves the game and that will carry him. Get that 3% up a couple more percentage points and he will have the whole elite package. Fun to watch and a great personality
