Once Anthony Edwards wrapped up his season opener, in which he scored 15 points, Timberwolves head coach Ryan Saunders commended the poise that he played with, especially as a rookie.
That was once again on full display in his second NBA game.
He shot 8-of-12 from the field, including 2-of-3 from 3-point range, and flashed his overall offensive scoring ability, from driving to the rim to even hitting a Dirk Nowitzki-like fadeaway shot.
The performance by the 19-year-old helped the Timberwolves stay unbeaten to start the season, and it also earned more praise from his head coach afterward.
Confidence and poise, that’s how I’ll describe him right now. He is going to be a really, really good player in this league and he already is, Ryan Saunders told reporters.
He is going to continue to take steps because he has a growth mindset, which is something we love about Ant. I thought he made plays within the offense and you don’t see that a whole lot from a teenager, Ryan Saunders told reporters
