Asked about his role in the U.S. men's basketball team, Edwards said: "I'm still the first choice, you may have different opinions, but that's how I feel. I don't do a lot of different things, I just be myself, shoot my shots, play my defense, and they [James, Durant, Curry] have to get used to playing next to me. ”
