Anthony Edwards LOVES Naz Reid:
“I just told him in the locker room, I said, ‘You nice, Naz. You nice.’ Like I don’t think I have that in me to come in a game (when I haven’t played the entire game) to come in the fourth quarter and I go 5 for 7 and score 14 points. Am I right?” pic.twitter.com/pqVUCSmtSI9:38 AM

Anthony Edwards on his defense:
“I think when I’m going against a premier offensive player, I think my defense is a lot better… I think I need to work on, even when I’m not guarding the best player, I still got to act like I’m guarding the best player. So I got to be better.” – 11:27 PM

More on this storyline

Christopher Hine: Anthony Edwards: “It’s just normal for me to be bad on back-to-backs throughout my three years I’ve been in the league. Every time I have a back-to-back I do bad in the second game. I gotta figure out whatever that strategy is. I’ve gotta get that together.” -via Twitter @ChristopherHine / October 25, 2022
Jon Krawczynski: Edwards on Naz Reid: “I just told him in the locker room, I said, ‘You nice, Naz.

A few NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype believe Anthony Edwards can take another step forward in his development this season and contend for an All-Star appearance. “Edwards just has the total package,” one NBA executive told HoopsHype bluntly. “He’s capable of being dominant on both ends. Very few people have his tools physically, and he loves to hoop. If he starts to love to compete, look out.” -via HoopsHype / October 19, 2022
