I think if we set the right structure to help support and develop him he's going to be a very good player.

One thing AW never really cared of. Imagine high PnR, and Antman drags KATs man away from Karl, then rolls to the basket and finishes with dunk.
He likes contact and physicality !

The Sky is the only limit on him. Think that Ball is probably 10 times as experienced. How much room does Edwards have to grow?

While Edwards has yet to lift 50 times his bodyweight — as ants are reputed to be capable of — he has impressed Bulldogs head coach Tom Crean.
“We vertical jump tested the other day, and with no training he jumped 42 inches,” Crean said on Thursday’s SEC coaches teleconference.
“We do a bike sprint test at the end of a full workout — how quick can you get a half mile in on a stationary bike — and he gets it in 50 seconds,” Crean said. “Our strength coaches have never seen anything like it, and he never stands up, he sits on the bike, he’s so strong and powerful.”

Minimus...you might need a cold shower.

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.
REALLY??? I pretty sure "work" is the exact topic of conversation I want the GM saying to his employees. I am pretty sure when we traded for Rubio I bet the topic of work came up too. You guy's a grasping at straws here for real. Watch ever draft picks interview and I but some kind of variation of "let's work", "I can't wait to do work" comes up in every interview. Give it a rest be happy for the 'KID" and organization. What did you want/expect a 19 year kid who was just draft and 50 year GM talk about on the phone? f*cking stock and bonds
