At the very least FIBA last year, this NBA season, and now USA Olympic basketball this summer Edwards will definitely get his stamina up. I can only hope this long season and running out of gas at the end motivated him to work on that for the future
Apart from hitting Rudy on the roll and throwing lobs, Ant'a playmaking hasn't been bad. At the end of the day our players missed plenty open shots. If they would of made them, the narrative around ants playmaking would be different. I think the biggest development for ant is to know, when to playmate, when to be aggressive. He doesn't have that feel yet
I don’t necessarily agree that you need to be a Luka/Jokic level playmaker to be a true tier 1 superstar. Jordan, Kobe, Leonard were all two way, score first wings with decent but not elite passing chops and they were all the best player in the league at various points. I see Ant as that archetype, as opposed to the Luka/Harden archetype. He’s not a point guard and that’s ok. The last thirty years of NBA history have proven that you can win with an assassin two way wing and a good team around him.
Bro came into the league as a traditional scoring guard who put up 3-4 APG. However, these playoffs he was forced to create more and averaged even 8 APG against the Mavs, which is too much IMO. Not to mention, he played 40 MPG and that also boosted his stats. But he should stick to scoring, Kobe or MJ won titles by scoring, not facilitating. Without Conley on the floor, Ant had to play the PG position a lot and that's not optimal. He didn't feed our bigs as much as he should, which hurt Rudy and KAT. Mike should move to the bench, let's get someone like Dennis Schroder and we are good!
He doesn't trust Gobert. At all. Seems like Conley is the only guy who clicks with Gobert, and he's a 36-year old 15-year vet point guard. I agree he misses easy lobs to Gobert but I think it's less that he doesn't know how to do them and more he expects Rudy's stone-hands to result in a turnover. Something the coaches need to work on with them and get them both comfortable with
Disagree… a player like Ant can learn patience and can slow down, when necessary. But players like Luka and Jokic, ain’t gettin any faster or athletic. Slowing down a step, is a cognitive adjustment

Even with that said he still averaged 8 ast a game in the conference finals. I do agree that at times Ant needs to slow down but hes 22. 🤷🏾♂️
