Justin Edwards: “I was the best player in the draft.”
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
I’m all for someone having confidence. But there is a fine line between confidence and delusion.
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.
Brandon Boston wants to be the greatest player of all time.

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.
😂😂😂😂. He’d be tough if they go to 8ft rims.
"Best skinny fat player in the draft" is what he might have said
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.

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.

You’d scream to if you manage to finally score over the shot blocking rims he had to face day in and day out.
First thing that came to mind--so thank you STL_Cat for already saying it!
Also what comes to mind-if you feel that way and are being influenced to think that way, maybe you should eat properly and engage in weight training to improve some aspects that were holding back the performance.
Delusion is a problem with parenting and "camps" around players these days--but I'd have made him take a piss test after this came out. It's time to sober up the delusion. And the only response to this should simply be "We'll all be watching-go play and show us all--that's all it takes". Then the excuses/lies/deflection begins.
The draft created by Cals ass on his way out of town
Thank God most of us never had his platform. I imagine most of us have said something just as dumb in public at 20 years old.
Per combined offensive and defensive efficiency he was the third best player on the team behind Sheppard and Dillingham. Before anyone cries about Reeves, his defense was so incredibly bad it pushed him behind Edwards.
Thank you for providing an incredibly glaring example of why analyzing statistics need to be reduced in sports and only viewed and utilized by professionals who are able to interpret them. That goes for myself and everyone else.
Nah. I didn't. Because one, humility gets you a lot further, and two, I was surrounded by people in my profession that would say, "Oh yeah, smart ass? Prove it. Right now."
I like the dude, but the problem is he's got the wrong people in his head. He may very well end up being one of the best players in the league. But he's got to step up and prove it.
Clown. And now I’m watching him already screw up in the first play for Philly in this summer league game against Dillingham.
And yet one was drafted and the other not. I'm gonna trust the NBA dudes who's meal ticket is on the line.
