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 think Anthony Edwards skill level gets overrated a bit but age gets underrated/not talked about enough. His age to skill ratio is probably second only to Victor, for his age he is extremely extremely good.
If he continues on the trajectory he appears to be on, no reason to think he can’t be a top 3 guy in the league one day, but right now I think there are probably 10 guys above him I’d pick to build around and win a series right now.
