ANT is a great player but I don’t see what he’s necessarily “elite” at offensive besides finishing, which this is his first year of really taking a jump in that aspect. Statistically, he’s a sub 40% shooter from the midrange and a decent 3 point shooter when compared to league average. Playmaking is not his strength either.
He has a lot of potential but the way media talks about him, you would think he’s the best player ITL. I feel the only reason he gets this much chatter is because his face looks like Jordan. Am I wrong? Just a discussion.
I agree 100%. Anthony Edwards is still ascending and only 23 but people talk about him like he’s a top 10 player (he’s not). My big concern with him is defensively, he idles a lot off ball and is out of position spatially. He’s still really good and he’s going to improve but I think the hype train needs to slow down a bit
