Justin Edwards: “I was the best player in the draft.”

I’m all for someone having confidence. But there is a fine line between confidence and delusion.

 

[ib4ky]

He wasn't even the best starter on UK last year and probably wasn't in the Top-5 players on the team either!!!

People that are 'experts' and put their reputations on the line to provide for their families said that at least 58 players were better or had more potential to be better. He has the confidence to say it, but does he have the drive to prove it. I wish him all the luck.

Do the Sixers drug test?

Brandon Boston wants to be the greatest player of all time.

 

[Col. Angus]

He wasn’t the best player on his team. Wasn’t the 2nd or 3rd best player on his team.

GTFO.

He's the best at screaming at opponents after layups in the draft.

Obviously the NBA did not think so. If he really wants it he needs to go out and work his butt off and shut up.

Cal said so!

😂😂😂😂. He’d be tough if they go to 8ft rims.

"Best skinny fat player in the draft" is what he might have said

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

And I'm a pretty pony.

 

[Cleatortoises]

I had the highest body fat percentage in the draft?
He actually got chubbier during the season.
Bless his heart.

I will say this

Despite this confidence being somewhat misplaced, I almost feel like you have to have that mindset.

I've seen it the other way. Talented guys who lacked confidence and thus not amount to what they should have been.

So I guess Edwards has one thing going

He’s talking PlayStation basketball, not actual basketball, right? Right???😭😭😭

First top three prospect to go undrafted. Good job cal.

If he was so good, why was he a starter for Kentucky?

Everyone knows the best players at UK came off the bench in Cal's system.

"Best skinny fat player in the draft" is what he might have said

and sadly Richard Simmons may have been the only one who could get him in shape.

Think the AAU or Highschool team he was on gave him some false confidence.

It's not impressive dunking on 5'9 kids - seems he fooled the scouts though.

He's the best at screaming at opponents after layups in the draft.

You’d scream to if you manage to finally score over the shot blocking rims he had to face day in and day out.
