Stuff like this is why Anthony Edwards will be the face of the league sooner than later.

He’s really gotta mature on and off the court to maximize his potential. All the goats were mature leaders with control and command of their team. Kobe, LeBron, A.I, Paul Pierce, D Wade, Steph, etc. They’re not complaining about external factors and obstacles, they took accountability of themselves first and lead by example. He is not being a good leader and it shows through his game on the court and with the reporters in interviews. You don’t need to be in the locker room to see it.
But he does have a point. He’s surrounded by players who can’t shoot it great from deep. Rudy Gobert is at zero percent (and is terrible offensively overall) Jaden McDaniels is shooting 32 percent from three, Julius is at 35 percent from three.

This extends to his bench as well.
Naz Reid is at 35 percent from three
Donte Divencezo is at 32 percent from three

The only serious shooter on his team is Nickel Alexander Walker who shoots it at 44 percent but he plays the same position as Ant

Their roster construction definitely plays a huge role in their regression this season. They’re not terrible from 3, they’re about average as a team but I’m sure that’s AE propping them up. If they’re not banging out 3’s at a good rate then they should be up and down the court which they’re not, they’re at the bottom of the league in pace. AE and Randle are ball stoppers and it leads to predictable offense. They should bush Chris Finch and trade for a point guard, but I understand they’re handicapped asf with the salaries and luxury tax.

Yep. Minnesota is a sad casualty of a terrible CBA
