This kid deserves his own thread.
I remember going to the blue/white scrimmage the year we had Julius Randle. There was a point during the scrimmage where he took it coast to coast for a big dunk. I remember it vividly because I just turned to my dad and said “wow”. I knew then that we had something nobody else in the country had that year.
Though he is a totally different player, Justin Edwards has that same wow factor. The fast break he ran off Burkes’ inbounds steal yesterday was jaw dropping. Check out the hesitation move to blow by his defender. He made a similar move in the halfcourt against Canada, gliding in for a silky smooth finger roll. This man has guard skills, and a gorgeous jumper to go along with them.
It’s crazy that we have such depth and talent at guard that nobody is really talking about Edwards, but he is going to be an absolute matchup nightmare for our opponents.
