Anthony Edwards Is NOT NORMAL…

Anthony Edwards Is NOT NORMAL…

If he wants to he can smoothly shift the defense and jump out the gym like a madman just detonating on the defense like a Swiss army knife he can carve the defense up with bad intentions in many different ways with the handle and when needed he can set up

Shop deep in the distance load that sniper up and hit his Mark with pure accuracy like a top rank shooter Anthony Edwards bring so many different skill sets to the heart wood that can leave you in amazement and at 22 years young to be able to put the

Pieces together like he has is something you don’t see often from literally anywhere and I’m talking anywhere on the floor Edwards can find his way to put the ball in a basket and this can happen at any time so the defense must always stay on their P’s and qes on this play

Here you can see ant ducked off in the opposite corner so as Devon Vel is ball watching heavy once Anderson gets deep in the paint Edward slides through the back door and gets the easy robbery without being detected it’s not always a sneaky action that can get him a bucket

As he can get in the mud to get a little dirty just cutting off XM and stealing this pass and when on the break instead of going up with his highflying nature and used the deceleration to get XM on that trampoline and although it could have been called a travel the whistle

Was never called and it’s an easy lay for Edwards so far in this 2023 24 season Anthony Edwards is putting up 26 points five rebounds and nearly five assists per game while maintaining shooting splits of 46% from the field and 38% from Deep now are these numbers

Groundbreaking I wouldn’t go as far to say that but when you pair these numbers with the eye test that’s when you really see how special Anthony Edwards is and this is just his fourth year in the league there’s honestly so much hype around Edwards simply because the amount

Of passion he plays with when he’s on the floor and if I’m being honest you don’t see this from a lot of young players in the league nowadays you can see the constant Improvement in ant’s game from year to year and with him being the leader of this Minnesota

Timberwolves team who are first in the Western Conference it shows you just how much potential he has and how much value he brings to this team already me personally I can’t help but Marvel at the amount of precision ant moves through the lane with as in real time

You might miss it but when we rewind it back you can see that once he starts going downhill off the screen he’s cut off by giddy so instead of pushing through this Gap right here he changes Direction with the through the legs crossover and now with him in full

Pursuit he could continue to go left but this would put him in a tough position having to go through two Defenders so an shifts directions once more into this gap between Giddy and Shay and this is split through the both of them for a

Kiss off the glass yeah I know a lot of people were used to a being this Soul high flyer who could just impress us with his high level of athleticism but he’s matured his game and displays more of a methodical approach to it by breaking down the defenders in the most

Elegant way possible even when you look at his shooting ant never seems extremely rushed or out of place as he can get to the exact spot he desires so when he comes off this screen he could rise up for the jumper right away but with one defender in front of him and

Dennis rer trailing him on the right side the use of the up fake get rer up in the air and now with a good look at the room it’s straight cash from that free throw line area I mean let’s keep it real when you get into that flow

State it isn’t much the defense can do to really stop you and when watching Edwards operate on the floor you can see the comfortability confidence and fluidness with every movie makes on the hardwood there’s a multitude of ways Edwards can rain in the buckets on the court but when we take his slashing

Abilities and put it under that microscope this is when we can really see the small details that lead to him being more than an exceptional driver and some of you may hate me for saying this but when it’s said and done if he stays on this trajectory he could go

Down as one of the best slashers the NBA has ever seen on 13 drops per game and attempts nearly seven shots off these for a 50% conversion rate which ranks him at number seven in the league amongst all guards who have played at least 20 games and attempted at least

Six shots or more when attacking the basket before we dive in I want you all to tell me your favorite thing about Anthony Edward’s game and by the end of this video we will see if it’s still the same now as we all already know Edwards is a supremely gifted athlete who can

Use his high level of agility to his Advantage so when he bursts past Defenders with that quick first step it leaves Defenders completely in the dust while he coasts inside for the bucket when he’s coming up the court as he starts to slow down the defense thinks

This is the perfect time to creep up high but this is all a setup for him to blow right past you and even if you’re able to recover for a good contest Edwards can use his body to keep that gap between you and him on his way to

The rim and use that left hand to finish the bucket that body control helps him still convert the basket once he gets by the initial Defender so when he flies by Jan Tate in a blur on this drive when he meets inun at The Rim he can stay sturdy

Through the contact and bank this off the glass it’s something about these two skills that make his driving even more deadly because with the quickness to blow by his man it leaves the backline of Defense in a vulnerable position and now they left standing there trying to

Contest him but it results in an an one for Ant-Man it may look simple but the task of staying in front of Edwards is probably one of the hardest things a Defender will be asked to do on any given night and when you blend that with his ability to maneuver through the

Defense with ease is truly a testament to how athletically gifted he is just like a skilled racer weaving through the traffic Edwards can slow it down before bursting away from this double team and when he notices LeBron slid into position for the charge he seamlessly Euros around King James to avoid the

Offensive foul and then flowes up high to beat the shot clock once Edward sees those gaps in the defense that he can exploit it’s no issue for him to get there in a quickness and by the time the Defenders can even react he’s already in

The air at the basket to rack up two points there’s many reasons as to why this is difficult to guard but if we want to keep it at his simplest nature when a receives the pass and is working out that triple threat it gives him three key options such as shoot the ball

Attack the rim or pass it away so in these moments the defense is very vulnerable as they have to wait and see what he decides to do and even if the help Defender rotates over to stop him at the rim and can stop on the brakes stay can post through the contact and

The bank is always open if he wants to cash in a huge reason this is all possible is because an is a 38% shooter from Deep so the defense is forced to pick him up high but this right here is literally the worst position a Defender

Could be put in because wh with your heels above the line when Edwards gets his momentum and pushes downhill there’s not much you can do to get back in front of him and it’s just a beautiful English finish at The Rim so as you can see an

Can get to step on the defender in a split second with his explosiveness but that’s truly just his slashing in the simplest form as it can honestly get way more complex when he ties in this explosiveness with his change of Direction that’s when you see Defenders really have a lot of trouble guarding

Him as he makes them look like cones he’s just out there running drills on these shifts are so quick that Defenders can’t seem to turn their hips fast enough to stay in front of him and to all of us viewers it’s more than eye-catching when you see an cross up a

Defender on his way to the basket with the head of steam going at Derrick Jones Jr when an sees Kyrie slide over to take away his angle he snatches Jones abruptly and goes back the other way and it doesn’t matter if he’s surrounded by three Mass Defenders Edwards can still

Find that slither of space to get this up and in it’s really a high level of creativeness that comes with this when you analyze things as when he receives his pass curling off the pin down with Jackson Haz in the palm of his hands and can angle the drop towards the middle of

The floor before going back left and since he rips through low while Hayes has his hands out it allows ant to draw the foul and with one hand on The Gather is easy money off the glass to be able to beat the defense in such a quick

Manner like this you have to be able to read what they’re giving you and just be two steps ahead of them at all times when curling off another pin down this float over the top to Le go Bear’s pass that we would love to see an make but

Instead of that happening he patiently waits to attack and then with hardenstein in front of him Edward shifts Direction with that mean Euro Step and tops it off with the Nifty English reverse these moves are so quick that it honestly shreds defenses night in and night out and not many have

Figured out a way to stop this it all comes down to his handle timing and footwork when it comes to these smooth Direction changes and sometimes it might not look like a direction shift but as we’ve slown it down you can see just how lucive he is when he’s angling his

Drives in different ways to get past the defense having this skill is key for Edwards as he will have many Defenders running at him or will be getting baited into traps so knowing how to reroute your path to the basket to still score is very important his knack for changing

Directions on the court throws off Defenders completely but it also seamlessly transitions into his acrobatic layups just as he shifts his momentum and Direction with Precision during these drops to the basket Edward showcased a remarkable flare for finishing at The Rim in the most acrobatic fashion times where ant

Attacks to close out to pursue the rim to then Glide past Aid Defender while adjusting in midair shows just how well versed he is around the basket and other times when he’s met in the air by the defense by floating in the air to finish this stretched out left-handed L it just

Shows you his body control and ability to adapt in midair to still convert the bucket this ability to contor his body twist pass defenders in case the ball off the glass with finesse is nothing short of breathtaking and honestly it’s like he’s choreographing a highflying routine right there on the hardwood for

Us all to enjoy these acrobatic layups are not only a testament to his athleticism but also to his creativity and tight situations much like the finishing guys such as Kyrie Irving Edwards dazzled Spectators with his ability to finish plays at the rim with a high level of artistry that leaves

Fans and opponents in a days now I’m not saying he finishes just as good as Kyrie or just like Kyrie I’m just saying that his acrobatic ways make a lot of us admire his game and be entertained at the highest level it’s special to see him be so flexible with his finishes

Because usually when that’s the case guys will have a harder time converting shots when it comes to crashing inside with Defenders but for a this is no problem at all just by not being afraid to initiate contact with opposing players and effectively use his strength and body control to create separation to

Then maintain his balance while going go for the bucket here on the drive versus OKC Edward sizes up chat just shifting him left to right so then when he decides to attack the rack he can blow by with ease and although L is there waiting an muscles him out the way and

Finishes this high off the glass for the an one you have to have a certain amount of strength and gray Center or gravity to consistently hit Defenders and steal score the bucket and with Edwards you see this on display time and time again with his 64 65 Burly frame he can all

Out move the defense out his way to go score and this makes him that much harder to stop when he’s attacking the basket having all these ways to score the ball inside gives ant many different options to choose from as defenses will try every which way to stop him but

Honestly they’re going to have a difficult job doing so this high level of finishing just demoralize the defenses as just when they think they have him figured out well that’s where a shot creation comes in handy and and totally gives the defense a run for their money he may only be connecting on

37% of his 148 attempts from the mid-range right now which is a poor percentage but when you watch the games and see the shots an is taking you’ll quickly realize why his percentage isn’t higher Edward sends to opt into very difficult shots in this in between area and hey they make for eye-catching

Buckets but they also result in him not being able to knock down as many after getting ad on that trampoline on this hesi and Crosses through the legs while bursting out to the rim and once Davis’s momentum is going down downhill and snatches back with aggression to create

Space But even with this gapper room to shoot look how good Davis still recovers for the contest these snatchback can totally catch the defense off guard as it happens so quick so when you try to lead him into sticky situations an can pull back on a dime and it’s a Money

Ball these funnels that the defense draws up can be very sneaky but if you look here the Lakers are packing the paint so ant can’t push towards the right so going towards this Baseline is his only option but VOA Prince is there waiting for ruy to send him that way so

With ant knowing this directly off the single dribble out the size up he gets into this pullup but since ruy was expecting a drive he to deci side of ant shading him hard towards that Baseline and he isn’t in the greatest position to contest the shot you must always and I

Mean always have a counter for what the defense throws at you so you’re not left looking clueless and on times where you can’t get all the way to the basket here’s where we can see these spin back Fades come in handy it can all out get

Crazy when an is in his Zone on these pools because it won’t matter if he attracts the attention of three Miami Heat Defenders he’ll still rise up to drop it in this amount of Versatility in his offensive game adds many layers of complexity to his play style and by

Fine-tuning his game every season Ann is starting to look like a chess player who can attack from different angles keeping opponents constantly strategizing on how they would defend him effectively if you enjoyed this video be sure to drop a like And subscribe before heading out I
