Anthony Edwards is one of the most explosive NBA players I have seen. Edwards has a spring in his step to rival Michael Jordan. With just a few steps, Edwards can have his head beside the rim. He’ll look to keep building his skills to match his athleticism, but his team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, will be strong contenders for 2024-25. 9/3/2024
Notes:
- Edwards’ playing weight has been a consistent 225 pounds.
- Edwards’ height in shoes is listed as 6 feet 4 inches; however, it may be slightly shorter than that. My estimates have him at 6 feet 1 inch without shoes. There is no record of him at the NBA Draft Combine and he has also had a hairstyle that makes it difficult to judge his height.
- Edwards has also worn two Player Editions (Adidas AE 1 with the USA colorway and the Adidas AE 1 Stormtrooper colorway).
- Edwards stated that he thought Team USA was his team during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Coach Steve Kerr had him coming off the bench in the final gold medal match.
- Edwards has a triple-threat style similar to Zion Williamson. He has a moving stepback shot akin to Steph Curry. He has combo moves similar to Allen Iverson. He does escape movies similar to Kemba Walker.
- Similar players to Anthony Edwards include Dwyane Wade, Michael Jordan, Jaylen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, and Caris LeVert.
