Chuck: I Think Anthony Edwards Has Regressed | Inside the NBA · Bleacher Report

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Why is it the Minnesota is where they are right now.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's a bad year. They're seventeen
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and fifteen right now. But when you compare this team
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that you're watching to the one we saw last year
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: that was thirty games over five hundred, what are you seeing?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Night and day is night and day because they really
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: miss Cat, Really, they really miss Cat. You see Nixon
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: won nine Cats on fire right now, but number one
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: when Rudy Gobert is in the game earner, they're playing
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: five on four because Rudy's not scored. But the one
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: thing that is hurting they really have screwed up nas
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Reeds because he's not getting any shots at all, basically
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: because Julius Rondo is a good player, but he's so bald, dominant,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and he gonna get his shot and he's not worried
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: about anything else. And I think, I actually think Anthony
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Edwards in my opinion, has regressed because he's become an
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: outside shooter. He's not aggressive like he was last year,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you know, And you can look at those numbers right
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: there and say he's averaging nineteen points, in my opinion,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: is not a good nineteen in my opinion, But how was.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: How was Anthony Edwards regressed.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Because he's taking too many threes? In my opinion, he's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: taking it because Ernie, when he's such a terrific player,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: if you guard him, you want him shooting threes because
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: if he's going to the basket, he's dunking on people,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: he's getting you in foul trouble. He's getting you inde
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: penalty sooner when he shoots threes, even though he make
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: him think about this. The one game we watched him
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: early this year, he came out and made like six
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: threes the first quarter and I said, I hate the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: way he's playing, even though he made six, but the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: defense is like they'd end up losing that game.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: They end up losing that game.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: But first of all, no disrespect. He shouldn't even be
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: on this list.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Let's stop it. Let's stop it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: He's just one of those curious his first aid games
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: against the Celtics, he's had at least twenty and I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: tell him and it gets shocked on the list. Y.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: That's my point. All those other guys in the Hall
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of Fame. One thing we do on television that's so stupid,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Like last year we says this dude, like Michael Jordan,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they just both black. He's not Michael Jordan. And I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: think he's a great kid and he got a chance
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to being a great player. But I personally think he's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: regressing become a jump shooter. He's not aggressive. Uh, he's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: gonna have to become more of a leader.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: When you have a breakout, it doesn't get easier, it
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: gets harder. But like I say, I think Judus Randall's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: game is really heard in os reed. But I think
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the biggest issue is, Uh, Rudy is just not a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: score ernie. And you're playing five on four and you
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: don't have to think about this cat. You have to
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: play cat out to the three point line. You don't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: have to do that with Rudy and so Afy he's
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: really he's selling for jump shots and he's really playing
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: five oh four, uh four, he's playing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I would agree with Chuck one hundred percent. And we
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: talked about that comparison last year that people were saying
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Michael Jordan. Well, there's a quote I do remember Michael
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: talking about when he hit the seven threes. He says,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that's not my game because he takes me out of
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: attack mode, he says, And so when Anthony Edwards is
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: in attack mode.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: That's what he's at his best.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: What happens is the weak side defenders are now playing defense.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: When he's shooting threes, the weak guy's side defenders, the
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: guys who's got guarding the guys on the other side
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: of the floor get the rest. But when he's driving
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: the basket, you gotta go help.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: He kicks it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Now you got to sprint back out. He creates so
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: much havoc. So I would agree with Chuck when he
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: turns back into the attacker and not the shooter, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: that's when he's going to be different.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: To add on to that day, we annoying that him
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: is great, but if you want to become greater, you
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: have to show a little bit more consistency. And I
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: have to agree with you up by him just stepping
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: out there and then shooting threes, he's he's digressed. Once
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: he get back to mixing his game up, he will
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: become a great player.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Can I can I ask you a question, a trivia
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: question that you have absolutely no shot at?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: What's that? Okay? Okay?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Julius Randall, Yes, double figures in all thirty two of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the games he's played with Minnesota. All Right, who's got
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the record from Minnesota? Doug West most most double digit
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: games to start your career.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Because they do. Kevin Love, he looked j ol Righter.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Try Tony Campbell with Nice.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: State, Right York City. He play. He's twenty five. Don't
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: start snitching.
