Fortunately, he has some teammates/examples to follow.

The Timberwolves are not the type of organization to dole out $150M-ish contracts if a player isn't willing to put in the effort on defense.



[Note: To be fair to Edwards, he can still reach that level with/without Towns or Russell. If a physically talented player wants to compete on D, it's entirely on them.]

Training camps open around the league Tuesday, though on-court sessions will be limited to individual workouts and only for those players who have gotten three negative coronavirus test results back in the last few days. Mandatory “group training activities,” another way to describe what would otherwise be called practice, will begin in some cities Friday and for most clubs Sunday, the league said.

Players and coaches will be tested for coronavirus daily around the league, and a positive test at this point would likely derail someone for most of camp and probably into the preseason. The rules are so strict that clubs cannot even hold a team dinner on the eve of training camp; the NBA isn’t allowing those to take place until at least Dec. 11, or the start of Phase 4 in the league’s five-phase plan for health and safety.

Thanks. I thought Camp had actually opened last Tuesday.

I wonder if Vanterpool ever had a better defensive prospect. A flying 18yo PJ Tucker

There’s something special about Edwards that’s unfolding before us everyday, and it doesn’t seem forced. I believe this is the real Anthony.

Agreed. While we may not get a James or Duncan type player from this draft, I don't think he'll be a Bennett or Bargnani either.....I think he coul easily settle in as a Simmons, Griffin type. Might take a few years, but he can get there.

If he has a playoff Tyler Herro type of rookie year, would you want more or be fine with that?

I think that last thing the team needs is everyone go joe salesman on the hype/projecting and hope before the season for him. Let the player earn it for once, don't expect it immediately for once. For once would that be possible? Probably not.
