According to statistics from the NBA official website, Timberwolf guard Anthony Edwards can average 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game in the three regular season games he has played, and the shooting/three-point shooting rate has reached 42.4/41.9%, which is very efficient.
In all three games, he scored 76 points, 24 rebounds and 11 assists, including the highest total points in the same year, and the total number of rebounds and assists in the same year.
Currently, under Edwards' leadership, the Timberwolves have a 2-1 start.
Once suspected of becoming a parallel cargo, he is gradually proving himself and completing the face punch.
In the 36 games the All-Star played before last year, Edwards averaged just 14.9 points per game and shot just 37.1 percent from the field.
Because of the poor efficiency on the offensive end and various unreasonable shots, he was once questioned by the outside world and would become the next parallel cargo.
CJ McCollum, the Blazers' guard, even said directly on a radio show: "Take a moment to jump shots continuously, or you won't be able to mix in the West."
In response to these doubts, Edwards was not discouraged, nor discouraged, but chose to invest more energy in training off the field, and it turned out that hard work would be rewarded, and he succeeded.
In the 36 games since last year's All-Star Game, Edwards' average has soared to 23.8 points per game, and his shooting/three-point shooting percentage has picked up to 45.4/34.9 percent.
In the last eight games of the season, he averaged 27 points per game, shooting 52.8/40.6% from the field per three-point range, and his efficiency even exceeded that of many All-Star-level guards.
While the rest of the players were enjoying their all-Star Weekend, Edwards stayed in the gym to hone his skills.
This is also true for this year's offseason, when he admitted in a previous interview that he had been training all summer, especially in the jump shot, which he had always considered part of his job.
The NBA has never lacked talent, it is missing players who are both talented and willing to work hard.
Obviously, Edwards is this type.
James, this time finally didn't look at the wrong person.
When Edwards did poorly last year, he publicly stated that he needed to give young people time to adapt.
After the two sides met in February, the elder Jan also said again after the game that he knew Edwards' ability in basketball, he had a bright future, and now it seems that it is true.
The Timberwolves have selected countless high-ranking players in recent years, but only a few can be played, and they have also gained the infamy of "rookie graves".
Now that Edwards has adapted for just one season, he has shown the ability to be an All-Star and the self-disciplined mentality of being a superstar, which is absolutely commendable.
Young players, having a direction in their hearts to guide themselves forward is the most important.
Has not been able to find the goal, the smell of playing on the field, the field is still unwilling to train, this kind of player, even if there is talent, it will only be a matter of time to be eliminated.
