"Don't let me grow to 6'6, or I will become Michael Jordan." These words came from Edwards .
According to Timberwolves head coach Fincher, after entering NBA , Edwards really grew about 5.08 cm taller. Edwards is now about 1.98 meters tall. The height has grown, Jordan of the Timberwolves is about to appear?
Edwards also played today in the Timberwolves against the Nuggets. He played 23 minutes, 3 of 7 shots, 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
Edwards' advantage lies in his strong body, like a heavy armor on the back line, he is not afraid of confrontation, and he often performs powerful dunks in the game. Both Yuta Watanabe and Jokic Cowinton were detained by him. He has strong breakthrough ability. He has great potential on the defensive end and can fight against his opponents. The Timberwolves coach once praised Edwards, bluntly saying that Huazi's performance on the defensive end is better than on the offensive end.
Of course, the current Edwards still has many shortcomings. Huazi's weakness is not stable enough. Poor projection. In the first half of last season, his shooting was terrible and he hit the iron frequently. In the second half, he gradually adapted to the game and began to show his talents. In the 2020-21 season, his shooting percentage is only 41.7% and the three-point percentage is 32.9%. He still has a lot of room for improvement in shooting. Edwards has a similar problem today, with poor long-range shooting. He made 3 three-pointers in the game and only hit 1 goal.
I hope that in the next game, Edwards can improve his shooting stability and make himself more comprehensive.
The Timberwolves regard Edwards as the core of the future team building and regard him as the team's not-for-sale product and are unwilling to trade him.
Edwards averaged 19.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in his rookie season.He made a good start to his career. He is only 20 years old this year, and he still has a lot to do in the future.
Brothers, do you think Edwards has a higher limit of talent than three-ball Ball?
