Since the start of the NBA season in 2023-24, in addition to the amazing Magic counterattack, the Timberwolves, who have temporarily ascended to the top of the Western Conference, have obviously exceeded the expectations of fans.
When asked by the host about the experience of being selected for the All-Star Game and representing the United States in the World Cup, Edwards admitted that he does not like to be called an All-Star, because for him it is just a replacement, although most people will not care about this detail, but for him, it is obviously more meaningful to be selected as an All-Star on his own.
I wouldn't say it counts, Edwards admits that last year's selection was only due to an injury, so in his opinion, it can't be classified as one of his own accolades, while also emphasizing that this goal will be achieved this year. In the 2023 Star Game, the Warriors Curry, Suns Durant and Pelicans Zion withdrew due to injury, and after being replaced by the original bench, King Fox, Edwards, and Raptors Siakam were selected off the bench.
The 22-year-old Edwards is forging his own era, conquering the world's fans in a unique way with his impressive performance against the Nuggets in last year's playoffs and the centerpiece of the World CupHe has played 17 games so far this season and has averaged 26 per game2 points, 59 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 with 1An all-around report card with 3 steals, in which he shot 464%, and the outside line grasp is as high as 377%, a number of career highs, and even praised by some players as contemporary Jordan.
