Anthony Edwards has seriously leveled up his scoring this season.
He’s currently averaging 28.7 ppg on 50/42/83 splits, good enough for 63.8% TS, meaning that he’s scoring 1 more ppg on 2 less minutes per game while shooting almost 5% better than last season.
Tied at 5 for most 40 point games this season with Luka, on almost 4 less minutes per game which is crazy.
His at the rim finishing has become exceptional at 81.1% at the rim, just shy of 81.4% by Jokic (Luka leads in that category at like 93.5% btw). He’s jumping off both feet which is allowing him to contort his body in the air better and get more touch on layups.
Midrange has drastically improved, he’s shooting 2% better on short midrange shots up to 47%, shooting 10% on longer 2s up to 44% which is very good. That allows his at the rim finishing to be even better due to having more counters in his bag.
The 3pt shooting has gotten even more efficient sitting at 42% up from 39%, hes shot below 40% from 3 only 6 times this season out of the 20 games he’s played.
He’s doing all of this while have no other competent ballhandler and shot creator on the roster and facing heavy doubles and lots of ball pressure every game.
How high is his ceiling?
