Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards on Sunday said he's Team USA's top option for the 2024 Paris Games.
“I’m still the number one option," Edwards said when asked how he fits with the star-studded team."Y’all might look at it differently. … They’ve got to fit in around me. That’s how I feel.”
Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards on how he fits in with USA Basketball Olympic team: “I’m still the number one option. Y’all might look at it differently. … They’ve got to fit in around me. That’s how I feel.”It's not yet clear what combination head coach Steve Kerr will use as his starting lineup, but Edwards is definitely a name to watch as a breakout.
The soon-to-be 23-year-old is coming off a season in which he was the No. 1 option for the No. 3-seeded Timberwolves, who made it to the Western Conference Finals before falling to the No. 5Across 79 regular-season games, Edwards averaged career highs in points and assists to go with 5.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.5 blocks on a 46/36/84 shooting split.
He earned an All-Star spot for the second straight year and also got named to the All-NBA Second Team. Other guards on the Team USA roster, besides Curry, are Suns' Devin Booker, Indiana Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton and Celtics' Jrue Holiday. James could also operate as a point forward for extra ball-handling duties.
