unfortunately so has literally every other top player so it’s hard to stand out

You should see his clutch scoring percentages. Dude is scoring at an 80% TS clip in clutch situations.

Now if the team can stop turning it over. 

He’s way better than he was last season. The midrange scoring bodes well for the playoffs - Nowadays, I think all primary options have to be effective midrange scorers to some degree for playoff basketball.

I still think he can crack the top 5 in the next season or two but between him and Wemby it’s gonna be tough. Also have to see how good Tatum looks when he gets back.

All I get from this post is defenders know they can’t put a finger on Luka or it’s getting called a foul

He’s so good. He’s had a couple dud games and an injury 5 mins into a game that’s hurt his averages.

He fixed his midrange game. Previously if he was off the 3pt line he was coming to the rack & defenses knew this. Now he’s pulling up sometimes. His 2pt% is way better now.

Also he’s getting more used to constant doubles and has gotten much better at dealing with those in various ways. It’s improving his turnover rate.

He’s also hitting Rudy on the short roll more than ever and Rudy has been a pretty damn good decision maker out of that. In previous playoffs team dared him to make that pass & he wouldn’t. They’re building up that trust & i think itll help in the playoffs.

His defense has been pretty damn good too IMO. I feel like the Wolves have been underperforming but its not on Ant.

Ant has peaked as a scorer. You literally can’t even soft double him anymore.

The next level to his game is understanding the defenses and the floor and turning that into easy opportunities for his teammates.

If he can consistently playmake and bring his assists up to about 6 or 7 per game, he’s an MVP.

And he can’t get any MVP love? That’s how stacked it is.

how’s randle been? i was thinking he would help in the shot creation dept

If it weren’t for the game where left after 3 minutes, he’d be averaging 30. Drives me crazy that game still counts

When he says that he will improve at something , he usually goes on to do so

Just get those free throws up Ant, cmon

I feel so bad for this guy. Almost every time this guy scores 40 or more, they lose

He’s been weirdly underrated this season, even considering the deserved hype around the 5 players clearly better than him. Ant is a legit superstar and he’d be in the MVP conversation in a weaker year.

He needs to get more assists

Still a bum

for some reason no one’s talking about him. the top 4 (Shai, Joker, Luka, Giannis) everyone is talking about, Cade and Maxey are getting praise, Jaylen Brown too. but rarely someone mentions Ant for some reason

You mean Anthony Edwards the table tennis player?

Loving the post game skills he’s developed. 

That’s what fatherhood does to a man.

Kidding.

I was happy to hear that he worked in the mid-range over the summer. I really do hope he continues to try to add things to his game, and makes a run at trying to be “that guy”.

He’s not good enough to carry a team on his own.

not taking away anything from him as a player, he’s elite, but so many players this season are having a huge leap in scoring and efficiency….so afraid to say it’s the environment, not the player….NBA wants high scoring and they will do everything in their power to ensure it happens

That’s why he’s a top 4 player in the league behind Shai Jokic giannis

That’s why he’s a top 4 player in the league behind Shai Jokic giannis

is 28.7 ppg on 63.8% TS supposed to be even remotely impressive?? austin reaves is avging 27.8 on 66.5% TS while also earning 30 mil less per year comparatively

Remains to be seen if the shooting is real. Takes much longer than a quarter of a season for high-variance stats like 3-point percentage and long 2-pt % to normalize. Chances are he’s more of a 39% 3-point shooter rather than a 41 or 42% shooter. Shooting 10% better on longer 2s suggests he’ll regress to the mean there.

I look at Anthony Edwards as similar to Devin Booker’s trajectory: very good, if not great, scorer, but a mediocre playmaker. This matters at the top because the question is whether you need to pair them with a point guard or if they can run the offense on their own. Just as Booker proved he needs a point guard, Edwards is showing me the same thing. So that’s why I don’t think his ceiling is that high.

I saw his 41-point game the other day, the one where he shot lights out but had two assists if I recall. He got his just fine, but every time down the Timberwolves could not manufacture good offense. Big difference when you watch, say, Luka, consistently manufacture good looks for his offenses even if his shot isn’t falling.
