Anthony Edwards is not "That guy."

Sorry, not buying him as a true superstar leader that can lead teams to greatness. The twolves need to break things up. They have a bunch of beta stars. Towns, Gobert and Edwards are textbook first round losers for years to come.

Wade was older than Edwards when he lost in the Olympics

Damn, the dude is super young and has been improving each year. No way in hell you give up on him at this time he will likely be the best 2 guard in the league in a few years.

I'm gonna try to say this nicely but ummm... you're stupid lol.

Uhh lol. Your effort to say nicely is appreciated, but personal attacks are not allowed. Disagree with the post as strongly as you'd like but don't insult the poster. Thx. -b

Was it disappointing that he contributed to the freezing out of Bridges? Sure. But he's still an extremely promising player... Edwards is the last mans a Timberwolf should consider moving.

Yep, that is exactly what the Minnesota Timberwolves need. Another rebuild. You got it.

He's young. A ways to go, no doubt, but so far so good.

He'll be 22 years old for the entirety of next season!

Too many people equate athleticism with unlimited upside. We're going into year 4 and he's not elite at any one thing. The people hyping him up as a future MVP candidate are going to be disappointed.

I actually thought him and Reaves were the only two guys who really showed up to play against Germany. Dude is very young, I’m not ready to make any major calls on the Ant Man just yet.

Lol your wife who is the youngest and hottest wife at a party of very hot wives - isn’t that hot.

That’s how I read OP.

He just established himself as the alpha in Minnesota with this great World Cup performance.

And not Bridges with 17pts on 6/7?

Yes Bridges did play well also, you’re right.

Still pretty young to be making that statement

Ant looks like the guy to build around for sure. I think the loss falls way more on Kerr than anyone

Nah you're wrong. Anthony Edwards is that guy.

Johnny Firpo · Post #17 » by **Johnny Firpo** » Sat Sep 9, 2023 7:32 am

He may or may not fully be "the guy", but it's definitely way too early to declare it either way. At worst he is a multiple all-star and 2nd best player on a championship team, which is still a player you don't really trade.

facothomas22 · Post #18 » by **facothomas22** » Sat Sep 9, 2023 10:24 am

It's too early to say he's incapble of being that guy. He's 22 years old and won't be 23 until August of next year. He has made some improvements each and every season since coming into the NBA. Based on what I saw in FIBA, it's not out of question he could take the leap towards being a top 10 player in the NBA this season and at worst will be a 2nd option on a Championship team for years to come.

Putting up numbers and improving and being winning player are two different things. Wake me up when twolves make noise in the playoffs.

I don't understand the title.

That Guy Definition & Meaning - The stereotypical badly-behaved person. Often in the phrases "Don't be that guy" or "I don't want to be that guy."

Does Anthony Edwards behave badly?
