This is the new face of Team USA: Anthony Edwards. Extended this summer for 260 million dollars, the back of the Wolves won everyone over with his personality and his talent. Always so detached from professional sport, he wants to take advantage of the World Cup “to win, progress and be ready for the season. »
In Asia, he could cross paths with his teammate Rudy Gobert, whom he ultimately did not join in France. “I didn’t have time to go because when I was supposed to go with Rudy I only had a week and a half”Edwards told HoopsHype. It was therefore in the United States that he learned of Naz Reid’s contract extension. ” I adore ! He’s my buddy” he reacts, revealing that his leaders had consulted him before this extension.
Edwards is delighted with the current squad, and he appreciated the arrival of Mike Conley during the season: “He’s a great catch-and-shoot player. He’s a veteran, and we just needed that presence. »
And then there is Karl-Anthony Towns, a franchise player who is coming out of a season marred by a big injury. His name has been floating around in transfer rumours, but Edwards is counting on him, as he is counting on a more ambitious squad. “I expect us to be hungrier, to play a little more eagerly. We will have to give everything on the field” he warns. “If KAT is there all season, everything will be fine. »
