He is already top 20 and likely top 15 (making the All NBA Third team this year). His trajectory should be better than DWade.
Man you guys gotta slow down the hype. His trajectory “should be better than Dwade” why? Wade is considered by many to be the 3rd best SG in history after Jordan and Kobe.
He was already a top 10 MVP vote by his second and third seasons. In his 3rd year he had a historic playoff performance for two way guard dominance and led the Heat to a title when they were huge underdogs vs Dallas.
Wade’s defense was probably twice as good as Ant by the same age. Overall he was further along than Edwards as a two way player. He was a significantly better as a playmaker. I actually think Ant has a 20% chance at best to surpass Wade.
In all fairness to Edwards, he’s a couple years younger than Wade was, but it’s still a tall order to throw Ant into top 2 all time SG discussions based off one star tier season.
