Edwards should be shanked the moment he puts the ball on the floor. Catch and shoot only bro

When is the last time we had a guard as explosive as VJ?

I’m guessing both we and he want to expand his offensive game, and that’s fine, since this is more about development than results.

VJ's athleticism is otherworldly man.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

VJ is the last Sixer to ever get back on defense in a fast break scenario since Andre Iguodala was on the team.

He just lacks the wingspan and shooting. Then he’d fit that archetype

The better question is.. when was the last time we had a player with another gear down the stretch since Jimmy? VJ has that, even during his time with Baylor.

They’re having VJ play legit point guard down the stretch. Good reps for him

Loved what I saw from our guys in the second half. Broome hit threes to complement Bona, Bona blocking a ton of shots, Edwards showed he’s more than just a spot-up shooter by attacking the paint and knocking down shots, and VJ got to the line, flashed his elite speed and athleticism, and shifted into another gear in crunch time.

Man, I really want to watch this Pelicans v Trailblazers game, but I can't rationalize staying up this late. Yang vs Queen is so tempting though.

Just realized both guys you’re high on are with the Pels. It’s still before lunch over here, probably gonna squeeze in a workout while watching the game.
