Edwards game remind me of Ron Mercer & Derek Anderson
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
If you took the names of everybody to play Kentucky basketball since 1948, put them in a hat, and pulled out two randomly, you'd probably come just as close as a Smooth comparison.
"He reminds me of Jimmy Dan Conner and Heshimu Evans."

He reminds me of MKG that’s left handed. Probably a little less athletic, but a better shooter. Both play hard and tough. Do a lot of damage inside. Good handle to score at all 3 levels.
He reminds me of the guy on the American Sniper movie.
This is who he reminds me of more than the other comparisons. But no comparison is perfect, obviously. MKG was a guy who did a little bit of everything, a stat sheet stuffer. 2 big differences between he and Edwards- he couldn't shoot like Edwards and he wasn't a lefty. But he was a winner and he made winning plays at key moments, which is what I've seen from Edwards in his short time at UK.
I see a little of mercer and mkg in his game.
Derek Anderson was a play making 2 guard.
Mercer was more explosive, more athletic. Probably one of the best finishers we’ve ever had. But he was more of a slasher than a shooter. That’s kind of where i see some comparisons. Edwards seems to have a solid jumper but is gonna do more of his damage going to the rim. I think Edwards ball skills are a little better.
He plays angry like MKG. Prefers to get to the rim like MKG. Better shooter. Not the same motor.
I always thought MKG was a power forward in a small forwards body. He was a better facilitator than Edwards imo. When Edwards gets the ball he’s always thinking “score”.
