Summary

Anthony Edwards might have played the best game of his young career on Wednesday night. On tonight’s pod we dig into Edwards’ very-full (not empty) 42-point performance against the Grizzlies — that was completely absent of the rookie mistakes that have plagued much of the rookie’s first year in the league. Putting the 30-game run Edwards is on since the All-Star break into perspective. - It’s time to remove the “inefficient scorer” label from Edwards game. The stats back it up. Looking at Edwards’ shooting efficiency compared to other high-volume shooters in the league - Is the Donovan Mitchell player comp for Edwards beginning to come into focus? - All KAT-DLo 2-man game down the stretch of the 4th quarter. Who gets the ball in late-game situations? - D’Angelo Russell moves back into the starting lineup. Has Finch given up on DLo minutes next to Ricky Rubio?
