Shooting guard Anthony Edwards has been one of the standout players on Team USA, and there’s no doubt that he has become the team’s primary scoring option. His electric play and slashing ability have gotten him many new fans during the FIBA World Cup, and hopefully, Edwards can make another leap with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Coach Steve Kerr has recently opened up on Anthony Edwards’ performances with Team USA, noting that the team is counting on him “to generate offense”, and adding that Edwards “stays confident” regardless of what’s happening on the court.

“He’s a guy who we count on to generate offense and he had a tough first half but hit that first shot of the third quarter,” said U.S. coach Steve Kerr per Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press. “He’s one of those guys who stays confident regardless of what’s happening for him and for the team. You always know he’s going to keep attacking, stay aggressive.”

There’s no doubt that Anthony Edwards never losing confidence is an important trait. Remaining even-keeled even when struggling can help a player step up even if they are having a bad game, and it is clear that Edwards will keep doing his best to impact the game on both ends of the floor no matter the situation.

Anthony Edwards has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game during the FIBA World Cup. Hopefully, he keeps on playing well, and they’ll need him to keep up his performances deep into the tournament to get the gold medal.


Anthony Edwards Doesn’t Feel Pressure For Team USA

There is no doubt that a lot of players do end up folding under the bright lights due to the pressure. However, that is not the case for Anthony Edwards. Previously, Edwards claimed that he is pressure-free as the leading star for Team USA.

“Pressure? Nah, none at all,” said Edwards. “I love the game of basketball, it’s fun for me man and I go out there and do what I love. I put in the work every day, so it’s no pressure.”

It is clear that Anthony Edwards trusts all the hours that he puts into improving his game. There is no doubt that working hard on rounding out one’s game is important to ensuring that one is prepared for every possibility, which in turn eliminates pressure. Anthony Edwards loves to play basketball and to improve, and that in combination with his talent makes for a player with an insane ceiling.


Some People Have Speculated Anthony Edwards Will Leave The Minnesota Timberwolves

In the NBA, we frequently see players from small markets leave their teams for big-market franchises. Many have already speculated that this will happen with Anthony Edwards at some point in the future. In fact, even former Timberwolves player Patrick Beverley claimed that Edwards will leave the Minnesota Timberwolves, noting that this is “just what happens”.

It remains to be seen if Anthony Edwards does end up leaving the Minnesota Timberwolves in the future. Edwards notably agreed on a five-year, $260 million contract extension with the Timberwolves this summer, and it is clear that he is at least willing to stay with the franchise over the next few years. Hopefully, they can seriously compete for a championship in that timespan.
