Anthony Edwards on getting doubled: “That’s not how I want to play, I'm only 23, I don't wanna just be passing the ball all night.”

Do you think it's a sign that he's not "the guy" or is it just growing pains?

I know everyone calls him Michael Jordan Jr, but

- Jordan had to go through it handling double/triple teams and become a playmaker
- Kobe
- Lebron
- KD
- Tatum
- Etc

Dude has regressed a lot he’s going to have to learn to play off the ball more and get his running passing lanes, backdoor cuts, and learning to move without the ball, Reggie Miller was and currently Steph Curry are great at this.

He also needs to drop this too cool for school attitude. I know that’s his personality and it’s cool when you winning, but when you’re mediocre or are underperforming it just comes off as obtuse.

It’s still early in his career and too soon to call just what he’s going to be quite yet in my opinion, but this is causing people to pump the brakes on those Jordan comparisons. Little homie was looking like the future of the league early on in the playoffs last year. Life comes at you fast.

The guy who said players in the 80s weren't that skilled, can't pass, can't move without the ball, and can't read the defense

Keep whining bytch :banderas:
Look at your c00n ass shytting on a Black player for voicing his frustrations just to protect the past.

I agree with you because that’s exactly what the Wolves need out of him but he’ll never be that. He takes too many tough unnecessary shots and it affects his rhythm & confidence, sometimes he’ll mentally check out of games.

Real pure shooters can score without having to do all that dribbling. He’s gotta learn how to simplify his shot selection more.
