We’ve not seen sufficient of Anthony Edwards fiercely assault the rim this season.
The Orlando Magic – and particularly Anthony Black – have seen sufficient after this Dunk of the Yr candidate from Edwards on Thursday night time.
Black is available in to chop Edwards’ path to the rim, watches Ant take off and instantly regrets his life selections, however he does not have time to get out of the best way.
Even Edwards was impressed along with his work.
Edwards completed with 21 factors and Minnesota received the sport 104-89.
Final season, Edwards made 22.8 % of his pictures from inside three ft of the rim and had a dunk in almost 85 % of his video games. This season, with out the identical spacing round him, Edwards is making 14.7 % of his pictures inside one yard and he is dunk in almost 45 % of his video games.
Edwards is taking and making extra 3-point pictures this season (42.9% on 10 makes an attempt per recreation) and with that, his total capturing effectivity is barely larger. Nonetheless, his drive to the rim was a key a part of Minnesota’s offense final season and a part of what made it dynamic. This has been completely different this season and is linked to Karl-Anthony Cities saving cash for Julius Randle commerce.
It was good to see Edwards come again. Hopefully we get to see extra.
