Edwards will surprise people in the nba

[smooth as butter]

He is going to be real good in the nba .

 

[ukcatz12]

I hope he is so this board can eat some crow.

 

[uk78]

Passing = C-
Defense = C
Rebounding = D
Athleticism = D-
Inside scoring = D

I have never in 40+ years of watching college basketball seen a player on any team be as bad at finishing around the rim as he was.
I think he could of improved enough to be a good/solid college player next year. But no way does he have a chance in the NBA next year. Someday, possibly. But not next year.

That's an ambiguous prediction. If you see a badger wearing lipstick, that's also a surprise.

 

[Cleatortoises]

I think the op is correct.
If he is good in the NBA, I will certainly be surprised.

 

[blue cincy]

I will say this. Do not care what he does in NBA. He can be good, bad or the worst does not matter. He could not do a dang thing here. Glad he has moved on.

 

[KentuckyMildCats]

I doubt it but I hope he proves me wrong, no reason to wish ill on him

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I'll be surprised if he's in the NBA by Christmas, so the bar on "surprise" isn't all that high.

 

[chroix]

He surprised people in college. That’s for sure.

 

[know1]

Doesn't matter what he does now. I personally don't care.

 

[blackcat714]

Gonna lead the league for getting blocked by the rim

Our fans….”I hate this one and done nba minor league factory….I’m glad that freshman is gone! He didn’t do squat here!”

You got fans complaining they leave early in one breath and saying good riddance in the next.

I actually think that he likely did what many 17 or 18 year old kids would do and that is take time to adjust to a huge change. Once he gets more comfortable I could see him carving out a bench role pretty quickly and possibly work his way into the starting rotation somewhere.

I wish him the best. It didn’t work out the way any of us wanted it to, including him. I’m sure he would have loved to dominate every game, win it all, and go on to be drafted first overall. I don’t understand our fans getting angry at a kid because he didn’t perform to their expectations.
