Anthony Edwards, who led the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Western Conference playoffs last season, was candid about his role on a loaded Team USA.
"I'm still the number one option," Edwards told Las Vegas reporters Sunday. "You may see it differently, but I don't. I just be myself outside.
Edwards smiled broadly as he stated, "Shoot my shots, play defense, and they gotta fit in and play around me."
The 22-year-old has always been confident, and his play has made him Minnesota's franchise player.
However, Edwards' confidence as the top scorer on a team with Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Steph Curry has boosted it.
However, that may allow Edwards to become one of his generation's top players.
Edwards, who turns 23 this summer, averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists for the Timberwolves last season on 46.1% shooting from the floor and 35.7% from three.
