Anthony Edwards "Unquestionably The Guy"
1 year agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards had another productive performance for Team USA, scoring 34 points in the win over Germany on Sunday. Edwards has played well in exhibition play ahead of the FIBA World Cup, prompting an endorsement after the game from head coach Steve Kerr. "He's unquestionably the guy," said Kerr. "You can see he knows it. But now the team knows it, and I think the fans see it. And he's such a dynamic young player. I think he's taking a leap." The 22-year-old finished last season by averaging a career-high 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. He has also played at least 72 games every year since entering the league in 2020, including 79 last season. If Kerr is accurate with his assessment, Edwards could catapult into the MVP conversation in 2023-24.
