18 күн бұрынAnthony Edwards is starting to build a nice track record of being a playoff superstar, but what is it that makes him such a dominant postseason player?

I'm a budding fan for the timberwolves and have watched nearly every timberwolves or ANT video breakdown. It's easy to see a lot of effort went into this video and I especially appreciate you pointing out the weak parts of his game. It really heightens my enjoyment watching the game and knowing what to look for and get excited about. Favorite and most well made video I've come across.
@garretnarjes782 15 күн бұрын
A lot of analysts said ANT had a bad game in game 2 vs. the Suns. I went to the game. He didn't have a bad game. Yes, his points were lower, but his assists were up from his average, and 3 of his assists in a row were for 3 (pass to the strong side corner). In addition, he was picking Beal up at full court, or playing a suffocating defense on Booker. He had a GOOD game on defense, and too many people were focused on the box score. He helped feed McDaniels to get him going.

While Ant’s scoring in particular his pullup shooting was very impressive in this series against the suns. What really impressed me was his playmaking yes his turnovers per game was higher than they need to be going forward he was processing passing windows way faster than we’ve seen in the past.

Some passes were on the money but some were late or too fast which led to a turnover. It’s crazy to me this dude is only 22 and he’s already doing things like this.

Denver has no rim protection just like Phoenix and that's a concern. However, Denver rebounds far better than Phoenix and rebounding is what ultimately killed Phoenix. If Ant takes out Denver that will be very impressive. Somehow I don't think Jokic is going to allow that. Regardless, Minnesota versus Denver is the rivalry of the future. And the winner gets to play OKC. Wow. The West is stacked with young talent, including Wemby who just needs a few pieces around him. Exciting times if you're a true fan.

He has the confidence without the selfishness and without the arrogance. In every post game interview, he goes out of his way to shout out his teammates, his coaches, their playmaking, their defense. He has all the confidence in the world, but has coupled it with true leadership. I personally feel that Mike Conley has been an amazing mentor to him, and it shows in his outstanding confidence coupled with leadership and professionalism. As a life long Wolves fan, we have never had a player quite like him. I'm excited.

Being exceptionally strong and exceptionally quick at the same time, that's very MJ like, a young MJ doesn't cross you over, he simply run past you. However Ant didn't "get that from day 1", if you can remember, his rookie season he got a lot of questioning, because he is not big enough to play like that, Ant grew 2 inches after that, which solves the problem, that is not a common occurrence, most players don't grow into a role, they change styles.

How does he play in reg season compared to playoffs and where specifically does he elevate his game during plays?

Great video, I can give a little context to whether the playoff 3 point shooting is chance or not. If you assume Ant’s shooting abilities don’t improve in the playoffs, there’s about a 20% chance he could have shot this well in the playoffs just out of luck. In the statistics world, that’s what we call “statistically insignificant”, so we can’t draw any conclusions about his playoff 3 point shooting yet. He’s still an incredible player though, and he really balled out against the Suns

And the leadership aspect is key for Wolves to be in contention for years to come. In real time during game you can see him cheering, directing or yelling at guys. Giving his team props every single time and backing up his words through his play. I hope he will cook Jokic in pick n roll, paint play and use Kats offensive prowess to tire out Joker. That'll be big in winning the next series. And also he will probably guard Murray in clutch time and lock him up. If these dudes win the next series, imma be hella happy!
