Anthony Edwards definitely never fails to self-confidence. During an interview with Zion Olojede for the media Complex, Ant-Man said he only needs a little more season to be in the league’s best player discussion, and opened up regarding his goals. It’s that one would almost want to believe it. A bit like Ja Morant, the back of the Wolves is a great patient capable of great prowess on a floor. Boosted by a self-confidence bordering on indecency, the kid seems capable of moving mountains when he is in good shape.
A Free Agency successful, marked in particular by the arrival of Rudy Gobert, young players with high potential and now three All-Stars – Rudy, KAT, D’Angelo Russell – Minnesota seems to have all the cards in hand to lay us a nice season. Led by his starry trio, the Timberwolves can also rely on a choice lieutenant in the person of Anthony Edwards. Did we say lieutenant? No because Anthony Edwards is heavy. Very heavy even. Much more than just a support player, Ant-Man is actually establishing himself as a franchise player in power. Very good last season in regular, the first choice of Draft 2020 was expected at the turn for his first playoffs. And the least we can say is that the young wolf did not disappoint. Better still, the full-back will probably have been Wolves’ best player. By sending 21.3 points per game in regular then 25.1 in the Playoffs, Ant proved that the pressure did not scare him… quite the contrary. Minnesota certainly got knocked out, but M’sieur Edwards seems to be one of those who live and surpass themselves under pressure, thanks in particular to an unshakeable self-confidence. See what the young Wolves star has to say regarding his ironclad confidence and his goals for next season.
“Ever since I was a kid, I always felt like I was the best at everything I did. My brothers made me feel that way. Fighting once morest them made me feel like the best in the world. That’s my confidence. I got it from my brothers.
[…] Personally, I want to start the All-Star Game next season. I want my averages to increase. I want to win a lot of games and go far in the Playoffs. »
– Anthony Edwards
Remember when Ja Morant made everyone laugh by claiming to be a top five point guard in the NBA? Well, well today nobody laughs anymore and everyone bows to the star of the Grizzlies. We have understood since the lesson and it is promised Antho ‘, if you think you will be in the discussion of the best player in the League next year, it is in fact far from impossible. And yes, Anthony Edwards is definitely aiming very high. Asked regarding his place among the best players in the Great League, he said he needed time to be in the discussion. Finally time. A small season still only to warm up quietly. Be careful not to burn your wings too quickly. If the potential of the kid is visibly enormous, Anthony Edwards remains precisely a young shoot. A player far from having reached his potential, and has everything to accomplish in the NBA. Although his first two seasons are good, not to say very good, Ant must go through the stages one following the other and prove that he is already even the best player on his team. Not easy when your interiors are called Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert. There is therefore no doubt that the path is still long for Ant before being able to sit at the table of Steph, Giannis and other LeBron James, but with a valiant heart nothing is impossible.
“I need another season. After this one, I think I’ll be in conversation regarding the best player in the NBA. »
Before thinking regarding becoming the new face of the League, Anthony Edwards will have to already prove that he is of All-Star caliber. The young boy is a diamond of potential but still has to go one step further to reach a level worthy of his ambitions. Break out the popcorn and get ready for the upcoming season, Ant-Man might be sending some very, very heavy!
