Anthony Edwards: 'Just can’t come out being selfish, worrying about however many points I wanna score'
“Starting with myself, just can’t come out being selfish, worrying about however many points I wanna score,” Edwards said. “Just playing within the game, playing within the flow, I think that’s the main thing with me. I be worried so much about scoring and how many points I got and how many points I’m tryin’ to get instead of just worrying about the little things, rebounding, boxing out, getting back on D.”

Completely random thought I meant to share earlier but earlier was 5am and I wasn’t trying to tweet then
Anthony Edwards midrange game looks much improved and maybe it was only Saturday night but if that thing gets comfortable then watch out – 6:19 PM

Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards have spent the first part of the Wolves season searching for the right offensive mix. They found it against the Jazz, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of the team’s potential. theathletic.com/5031136/2023/1… – 9:48 AM

Anthony Edwards has made 15 of his 28 3s on the season (54%).
Ant when asked if the 3 has felt good this year:
“Aw, hell yeah. I don’t think I shot it good from 3 today. Did I?”
2 for 4…
“So, 50 percent. Shit, that’s pretty good.” – 12:14 AM

If Anthony Edwards is guarding you, you just gotta have some self awareness and move the ball. You are very very very unlikely to beat him off the dribble….too strong, too quick and he’s a dog – 9:00 PM

More on this storyline
In the first half Wednesday, he looked more like a vintage Towns on that end of the floor. He faced single coverage in the post, something that rarely used to happen for him, and he took advantage on multiple occasions to help the Wolves build their big lead. He was physical without committing offensive fouls. “It’s weird. It’s different,” Towns said of the single coverage. “But I’m blessed to have guys like Ant, Rudy, Mike. My teammates are amazing and super talented and we have a deep locker room here. It feels good to know it can be any one of our nights.” -via Minneapolis Star-Tribune / November 2, 2023

For a night, it didn’t, and the Wolves handed the defending champion Denver Nuggets their first loss of the season with a 110-89 victory. There was a key difference Wednesday that wasn’t present Monday. When things got hairy, as they did for a few moments in the third quarter, the Wolves ran their offense through Mike Conley, who was feeling much better after a bout of food poisoning in Atlanta. Even as Denver started making a run, the Nuggets never got closer than 14 points in the third quarter. Conley, or “Bite Bite” as Anthony Edwards refers to him, scored 10 of his 17 points then. “He look like he’s ready to bite something,” Edwards said when asked why he calls Conley that. “Bite bite came through big tonight.” -via Minneapolis Star-Tribune / November 2, 2023
