Summary

On today’s show, Britt Robson of MinnPost joins to discuss his most-recent column on the ascension of Anthony Edwards, highlighted by Edwards’ 40-point explosion on Tuesday evening against Portland. We discuss Edwards’ growing ceiling and how the nature of his ceiling is different than Kevin Garnett’s was and different than Karl-Anthony Towns’ is, in part due to the position that Edwards plays. The list of topics today include: — Edwards reaching a new level as he further prioritizes attacking the basket while his 3-point shooting numbers also tick up drastically — KAT staring in his role of late but being a limited offensive option, and why that too needs to evolve — The upcoming Golden State, Phoenix, Utah schedule gauntlet — Chris Finch continuing to effectively tinker with both the style of play and who is playing Learn more about your ad choices.

kind of unavoidable.

0:54.3

And I thought you just nailed it.

0:55.8

I thought you nailed the, the ant column.

And not only where he's coming or where he's grown, but kind of, you know, who he is.

1:08.1

And that really, to me, that resonated with me because I think if we're watching this team every night,

1:16.5

you're kind of as a fan, you're falling in love with Anthony Edwards,

If you say Carl Anthony Towns, if you say DeAngelo Russell, you begin to look at things,

1:38.5
