I’ve been watching a lot of him the last few days and I feel he’s without a doubt the second best player in this draft and possibly the first(Lamelo is the best IMO) but does anyone else see Bradley Beal in Anthony Edwards? I swear it’s like I’m watching Bradley Beal when I’m watching his stuff.

Oladipo with a slightly a better natural Jumper and less facilitating abilities. If I was Minny, I’d probably take him first , both him and Lamelo have a high boom or bust potential imo.

Which is exactly why Minny will be stuck making the #1 pick just as Cleveland was years back with Bennett.

Beal came into the league as a shooter first and he developed as an all around scorer as time went on (mostly when Wall got hurt).

Edwards is coming into the league as a scorer who can shoot. That's a big difference to me. He's also a bigger and stronger guard so I feel he'll be a better finisher, but the pure shooting touch wont really be there.

I think Edwards has a very high floor, I don't see him as a boom or bust player at all. I think at worst he's a consistent role player 15 PPG player. LaMelo's boom or bust is like, out of the league in 2024 or best PG in the league in 2024 (:lolbron:)

If he’s projecting to be a slightly better dipo I’d take number 1 no questions asked:yeshrug:


Even Oladipo himself was the number 2 pick in a shyt draft...

Cannot shoot like Beal. More like Oladipo or Waiters

Closer to Oladipo than Beal

I think on the right team Edwards could be really good. On the wrong team, he's Waiters or Ricky Davis, a gunner who doesnt help win

My fault fellas I meant more so their movement and built and athletic ability. He moves jumps and plays like Beal to me

he'll never be the first or second best player on a title team. I can see him putting up numbers on a trash team like Beal and Lavine.
