A huge bargain also.

Edwards is at his best going to the rack. He has so much elevation and power.

Also encouraging that after an absolutely abysmal start he picked himself up and is playing much better.
A certain someone else would have just tanked all game and been done..

We need to ban the Edwards stepback three for a couple of months. Just have him attack and take open looks. This summer he needs to work on that handle like crazy, if he can get his handle to like an A- he would be unstoppable when attacking the paint.

they must have decided that he can't make it worse by playing.

Yet the Wolves have a long history of sending guys out half-healed and making it worse (Love's broken hand, Rubio's torn ankle ligament, etc)


He’s playing at less than 100% because the Wolves are in crisis mode and Ryan is on the hot seat via Jon K podcast

The plan was to let him rest longer but after 6 game losing streak, wolves in panic mode and Saunders seat was getting hot so he’s playing


Where did you hear that? Who's podcast?

This quarter Edwards drives have turned into layups and passes for open 3s. His one jump shot ended up being a layup at the other end. The formula for success seems pretty simple.

Culver has lost a lot of confidence it seems.

DLO needs to be scoring way more, hasn't shown up. Those back to back open three misses by DLO and Juancho are killer.

We were getting stops on D, then we go to small ball. Don’t love it, but we shall see.
