This NBA season, Anthony Edwards has elevated his game to new heights. The young Minnesota Timberwolves standout has been knocking down three-pointers with remarkable precision, leaving opposing defenses scrambling.
In a recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Anthony Edwards dropped 35 points, hitting nine of 15 shots from beyond the arc. His ability to score from anywhere on the court has made him a constant threat to opponents.
“I really be surprised at this point. I made two threes in the first quarter today, and in the third, I made one, and they kept going under. I’m like, ‘Alright, I’mma keep shooting this (expletive). I don’t know what they’re doing, but I’mma keep shooting it,’” Edwards said.
Anthony Edwards issued a strong warning to players trying to stifle his offense: “I’m happy. I hope they keep going under. I’ma keep lacing that (expletive)” Edwards said via @SneakerReporter.
