Also, this picture makes me incredibly sad. No one should have to lose their mom that young & he lost both of his mother figures...go be great Ant Man!

Yeah, I'm cringing at Rosas repeatedly telling Edwards he's gotta get to work now. Edwards ain't stupid, he knows everybody's saying he doesn't have the required work ethic, he knows he's gotta prove 'em wrong, so you don't need to show you bought into the prejudice. If he doesn't put in the work, it's not gonna be because Rosas forgot to tell him he's gotta work hard over the phone video call on the draft night.

I've been watching Antman for years now. I have no doubt in my mind he is going to be on the same level as Mitch Richmond and Bradley Beal, or a rich man's Isiah Rider.
Don't worry about his 3pt shot, he will be hitting 40% from three and 80% from the free throw line in a year or two and he will be an all star for +10 years down the road.

Gonna be honest that felt a little condescending. He said it like 4 times. I get it, time to go to work. Sheesh.

Wiggins had a crap handle and when he just got it to being okay he was far more dangerous. If this kid has step backs and violent cross overs right now, I'm feeling pretty damn good.

Awesome. Maybe not right away, but I absolutely LOVE the idea of Edwards as a small ball 4. He's going to continue to fill out, but if he's a reported 6'6 230 now who will likely fill out even more than that... he'll be as heavy or heavier than most 4's. A lot of 4's now play on the perimeter anyways and those that don't won't be able to post him up (think about how Harden is one of the better post defenders with his frame even against bigs).
On offense, what 4 is going to be able to stay in front of him? He could be absolutely massive for stretches as a small ball 4 in a spaced offense.

I wonder if Vanterpool ever had an opportunity to develop from scratch such a physically gifted prospect into a defensive machine.

I always remember that game, when Shabbaz destroyed GSW.
