Edwards just has IT. That crazy athleticism, that big body, to go with a good base of skills. When you see him get that fire lit under him, damn is he fun to watch.
Also ya not seeing this “horrible on defense” thing either. I feel like many act like if you’re not a stud defender, that must make you a horrible defender. He seems pretty okay on that end from what I’ve seen. Teams aren’t running their offense to purposely get him into actions to take advantage of him. I don’t see him continually getting beat off the dribble or getting lost on rotations. Ya I don’t see him making a huge impact defensively, but he just started his 2nd season, shouldn’t really expect that yet. Seems just fine on that end in my opinion.
He's like most offensive-oriented young players. His physical tools allow him to be okayish on ball, but off ball you can see him get caught ball watching a bit and his rotations aren't always crisp.
But yeah big difference between being a young, 2nd year guy who hasn't quite put it all together and being a player other teams constantly attempt to put into PNR action to hunt.
He's not a good defender currently, but he's not a major liability and weakspot. I mean if we are brutally honest, his two offensive co-stars are bigger targets at that end.
