Anthony Edwards Has Taken The Leap

[FireDavidKahn]

Dude nutted up at the most crucial game of the year and during the 4th to lead this team to the play offs as a 20 year old.

[Spurs m8]

Wolves finally have a player that can take them somewhere....KAT failed AGAIN

[FultzNationRISE]

You can tell he's just been soaking up so much from Lebron since getting to the league.

Big night for dude.

[TheGoatest]

He's still young, but slowly but surely we will be able to stack him on top of the pile of 2010s/2020s perimeter players that destroy the likes of Mitch Richmond, Reggie Miller and Latrell Sprewell.

[FireDavidKahn]

Carried the Wolves to a win in his Playoff debut

36 points
2 rebounds
6 assists
1 steal
2 blocks

:hammertime::hammertime::hammertime:

Officially became a member of the donkey kong schlong club after today.

[John_Connor]

he took the leap long before the allstar break. people are just now paying attention. I was advocating for him making the allstar game when nobody else was on here

True. But now that he is getting national attention people outside Minnesota will take notice.

Edwards > Ball going forward

[theman93]

Edwards is nice. Let's see if he can close out the series now that Minnesota's stolen home court.

[coin24]

What a stud.. shame the wolves have career losers like Kat and dengeaslow around him.. they seem to take turns stinking up the joint

[jalbert009]

I Think KAT is a great player. You dont want him as your #1 guy. He's more of a #2 option. I think Edwards/KAT combo is fine but Edwards needs to be the clear cut leader and I think this post season is a good time for KAT to hand over the reigns to Ant Man

[Sportal]

I was saying before the start of the season that I thought he's the next big thing.

[Mask the Embiid]

I thought his ceiling was dion waiters on the heat.....i was wrong

[Chuckbe]

How is his knee?

[FireDavidKahn]

Best and most consistent player on a 7th seed currently 2-2 against the second team

In 4 games so far

24.8 ppg on 48.5%/42.1%/86.4%
4.8 rpg
3.3 apg

Just 20 years old.

Players make their name in the regular season
Players make their fame in the postseason


Anthony Edwards is the Second play in NBA History to make 4 or more threes in his first 4 playoff games.
The only other player to do it? Steph Curry. https://t.co/j3AZtxgw3w

[FireDavidKahn]

25.2 ppg on 45.5%/40.4%/82.4%
4.2 rpg

Fantastic playoffs from Edwards..

Time to ship out the twin cucks russel and towns

[Spurs m8]

Isn't this something else? Lol

I don't think I remember ever seeing something like this, off the top of my head.

Wtf is going on in Min?

How can anyone not like Ant??

https://twitter.com/DaneMooreNBA/status/1625345306219933697


Ant: "Man, they got hot at the end of the game. We had to try and calm them down. Me and Jaden, coach asked did we want to foul, I said, 'man, let's get a stop'. This what me and Jaden out here for; we out here to get a stop. So put us on the best two players and see what we do."

[FireDavidKahn]

Ant’s last 40 games:

26.0 PPG
6.0 RPG
5 APG
2 spg
1 bpg
47/37/79 splits

:bowdown:

[Xiao Yao You]

how's he looking on D?

[FireDavidKahn]

how's he looking on D?

He can put the clamps on anyone 1-1 when he is fully engaged.

Off-is improving and not bad but certainly not really good either. Strictly average in that area right now

Not good enough.

My search for the next MJ continues....

[Axe]

It's unfortunate that he's burdened to carry a cumbersome teammate.

the jury is still out on Towns

[Celtics 1825]

Not good enough.

My search for the next MJ continues....
MJ wasn't even in the league yet at Ant's current age

[RRR3]

MJ wasn't even in the league yet at Ant's current age
:lol

[BigShotBob]

MJ wasn't even in the league yet at Ant's current age

But he was clearly better.

I heard Ant say that he wants to be the GOAT. Not enough finesse, grace, and motor on the defensive end. Just not there yet.

Careful with definitive statements like this. He was a completely different defender in the second half of last season vs. the start. His 1-1 defense is arguably elite at this point. Still can float at times when his guy doesn't have the ball but he isn't a liability anymore in that category.

Ant has taken tremendous and obvious huge strides every year on both sides and there is no reason to believe he will stop. He has the body, athleticism, strength and already showing that he can be an elite 2 way player. It's up to Ant but he is one of a few up and comers that has shown MVP potential.

Not there yet but all signs are positive so far.

He and Gobert were supposed to be getting together this summer. I imagine work on pick and roll since he says he never played with a rim runner

[FireDavidKahn]

Ant getting significantly better each year is the most predictable thing ever.

I told ya'll

He has done great wonders in carrying his huge role player teammate.

:facepalm

[FireDavidKahn]

Arguably the most impactful player in the league right now.


Anthony Edwards has the highest plus-minus this season, at +199.

[RRR3]

Arguably the most impactful player in the league right now.
:facepalm

[FireDavidKahn]

:facepalm

Highest +/- in the league on the best team in the West.

[FireDavidKahn]

bump

[BarberSchool]

Well deserved bump for Ant.

To be doing this well at 22 is nothing short of legendary.

[GOBB]

He’s doing it without “CAT” being who he supposed to be. The bar has been set for folks at 22yrs old. Be it drafting a prospect or in the league right now. You’re being measured up to Ant man. Only thing he needs to work on is dealing with off the court chicks. His shot selection is bad there lol

[ArbitraryWater]

But he was clearly better.

crazy motor

[tontoz]

Bigshotbob had the worst takes. Jokic punkd him so badly that he doesn't post any more.

[Jasper]

2 years later he looks like a MJ to me ... non-stoppable.

[AlternativeAcc.]

He's only 22? God damn, I thought he was like 26.

Surpassing Curry at 22 is wild.:lol Better than he ever was and not close.

Ant in his prime is going to be mushroom stamping his way across the league.

[SATAN]

1-5 at halftime...

[FireDavidKahn]

1-5 at halftime...

:roll:

Completes the sweep absolutely dominating the 4th quarter

40 points (13-23)
9 rebounds
6 asists
1 steal
2 blocks

Dagger of a dunk (over Beal & KD!) to put the game away and complete the sweep

[Axe]

Is this guy winning a ring if he played in the 90s?

[SATAN]

Is this guy winning a ring if he played in the 90s?

Yes.

[L.Kizzle]

Is this guy winning a ring if he played in the 90s?

Only three franchises won rings in the 90s, so it's possible.

[tontoz]

Punk'd the defending champs in a standalone game on the road. Could be a coming out party of sorts for casual fans who haven't been paying attention.

[Carbine]

He's in the middle of his '06 Wade type run. Enjoy it.

[Phoenix]

I was gonna make a thread but probably not worth it. Current Edwards vs 2006 Wade? I''ll get the low hanging 'Wade won a chip so he's better until Edwards wins' line of reasoning out of the way. How do they compare 3-4 years in? Edwards doesn't quite have Wade's first step and is overall a little slower( more like Kobe speed, not meant as an insult) but with better range.

[Carbine]

I think Edwards had the best first step quickness to power in his body ratio that the league has right now. Maybe it's second step quickness with him but he looks like he's playing at a different speed when he chooses to explode.
