Coming back to this video, I have to say he doesn't look like he belongs at all in college. He could have went straight to the league. He is so much better than everyone else on the court.
@@kobeyashi11 It's a team sport. One guy can't win a game by himself, I don't care how good you are. Even Jordan needed Pippen and great role players around him. The eye test says he looks better than everyone else which is why he went number 1 in the draft.
What I love about Edwards is that he got that DAWG in him. Not alot of these Top recruits and NBA prospect have that. That's what made Zion so special outside of his athleticism. That DAWG mentality is the difference between being a Carmelo Anthony vs a Rudy Gay
Crazy how I searched for an Antman’s college video and I’m still reminded of Liverpool’s heartbreaking 3:0 loss against Watford at 0:46 😢 Man I will never forget that match
I love his game...size, speed...he can literally get anywhere on the floor...I’d like to see him setting up his teammates more tho...excited to see him at the next level
His game is so polished, he reminds me of bradley beal and PG 13 Id definitely take him over ball Edited: 4 years ago ppl called me crazy🤣 I realize now the more appropriate comparison is MJ kids a killer
I see a little Victor Oladipo in him. Especially when he drives. A few concerns... He seems to win a lot on drives in college just off superior athleticism. That will be tougher to do in the NBA. He also doesn't seem to create a lot of space with his moves in shot creation. The between the leg dribbles and hesitations seem to be more of a rythym thing for him than an actual tool to get separation.
@@MuckNoya Actual games. Not sure what was funny about the take. It's not like this one was hot. What I said here is a consensus among most knowledgeable insiders as well.
After watching this I'm convinced that he is the best prospect in this draft. I think this draft is underrated for sure because there a three potential franchise changing players at the top in Anthony Edwards, Lamelo Ball and James Wiseman. His tape looks similar to MJ as freshman for North Carolina. I can see Ja Morant, Anthony Edwards, Luka Doncic and Emoni Bates being the best players in the league in next 10 years. The NBA for the next 20 years looks like it's going to be great like the 80s & 90s
Only complaint about his game that I've heard is his bad shot selection on certain occasions... The thing is even though his shots aren't always the wisest the fact that he's not afraid to take them in big game situations is going to do wonders for him. Sure a lot of those shots won't go in right now. But in five years... They will. If he keeps shooting shots from deep and from the mid-range (Despite the fact that his strength is clearly driving to the paint) then he'll have a complete skillset by the age of twenty five or twenty six. The more he shoots tough shots the more they'll go in and the less they'll be considered "bad".
This just goes to show you, if you good at what you do you’ll standout regardless, that’s why he chose to stay home in go to uga. Maybe more kids will follow his footsteps 💯👌🏿.
40% from 2 and 30% from 3 isn’t that great but you can tell Edwards is a big time player. Increasing FG percentage is just a matter of work in the lab and confidence. Once he hits the league and gets into a good system he will shine.
Preston piper it doesn’t require confidence in Edwards case. He has enough of it, that’s why he shoots. He knows he can always get open but he rushes his shot at times.
“Ant-man” is perfect nickname for AE! Mind you dude is only 6’4” and leaps like noone I’ve ever seen! The way he attacks the rim is very Jordan-ess! I look forward to a great NBA career from this young man! Good luck moving forward!
Ya'll can correct me if I'm wrong but in terms of his upside he might be the best one-and-done SG prospect to come out the college in the history of the NCAA. The only other SG prospects period to come out of college with all of his attributes would be Jordan, Wade, Stackhouse, Carter, Drexler and Harden. So that right there tells you he's in an elite class!
@@itzdrama2350 Lance was 12th ranked coming out of high school, underwhelmed in college, but they have similar games and efficiency. Physically they both outmatch almost every guard in college. I think Edwards benefits from Wiseman suspension, Cole Anthony and Lamelo injuries. Also a weak year for the sophomores and up because of the record number of early entries last year. Plus he went to Georgia insteady of a kenty, duke, unc so he numbers are inflated a little.
kathy kelly that inflated thing you have to take it with a grain of salt look at the guys who cane out of Oklahoma buddy trae and Blake they are a prime example of that but yeah definitely that lance comparison is fair but it makes me kinda uneasy comparing a top overall pick to lance
I think even though he's going top 3 he's slept on ik his percentages aren't pretty but that's do to shot selection his potential is crazy he has great range can score anywhere on the court with a great build at 6'5 225 can finish shoot and dribble one of the best prospects I've seen in years
Imagine him on golden state, coming off the bench.. damn...I mean, if they don’t need a guard, they can probably use that pick they have just received and trade for Embid and some more assets from the 76ers.... and the warriors dynasty can continue Andrew Wiggins being paid a max contract also gives GS some leverage
They need to take him man. Man is a bucket. Warrior's biggest issue is they need a man off the bench to go get a bucket. You put this dude on the floor he'll go get you one
I’m not gonna lie I didn’t expect him to clip from deep as much as he did it’s impressive as hell, I’m not quite sure if he’s the best overall player in the draft, but he’s certainly the best player for the Warriors, I can absolutely see him fitting within their offense. In all honesty though, he either develops into a 21.0+ PPG type of scorer or he’s inconsistent, there’s no in between in my mind. His fearlessness is his biggest trait right now and if he carries it into the league he shouldn’t have any problems in my opinion.
I see a 'more explosive Donovan Mitchell' type. I feel like Mitchell coming out of Louisville, he has a questionable shot selection. But if he works on that, look out!
Just read his story on ESPN and I’m rooting for him. Think he and dlo will make a dangerous backcourt and then you have KAT down low, wolves have no limit. They’re gonna be great but I hope not better than the lakers.
He would definitely go #1 if Melo wasn’t so box office. He’ll most likely go 2, but he is for sure elite. He reminds me of a mini Lebron James with better scoring ability. Most of these highlights are highly contested shots, and he’s making them effortlessly!
Coming back to this video, I have to say he doesn't look like he belongs at all in college. He could have went straight to the league. He is so much better than everyone else on the court.
Thx the rules
If that was the case his team record would’ve been way better. He needed a year in college

Boi could shoot that thang tho for real he gonna be legit 25ppg scorer
Obviously a #1 pick. Hopefully my Hawks get lucky and he can stay in Georgia.
he is good and young prodigy ,but 29 % from 3pt line for SG ,means that he has to work to became consistent shooter , thats will be tough.
