What is Edwards supposed to be good at?
- Thread starter kydmb99
- Start date
Yet Cal starts him every game.
If there was any proof Cal lives and dies by forcing his projected lotto picks to play through shat, Edwards is one. At least DJ played out of his funk.
So Cal rewards him by continuing to start him and giving him 25-30 minutes a game?
Yeah but to his credit it hasn't hurt his confidence. It cost the team, and nobody else thinks he can make them, but he does.
Cant guard a light pole and he is soft as Charmin and thinks he is better than he really is.
He is easily the most disappointing player on the team thus far and cost us the game today.

He’s great at finding a quiet place on the perimeter to float around in
I like Edwards and think he can become really good - he’s just soft. I’m hoping the switch flips in his mind and he gets tough and mean. PJ Washington seemed kind of lost his freshman year until the very end. Then he matured and became dominate. Hoping the same thing happens here… but before the end of the season.
Edwards 4of14, it happens. 0of5 from 3. Why's he taking 5 3s? We were coming back and he chucked it up twice. STOP TAKING 3S EDWARDS!!! We have Reeves, Shep, Mitchell, Dilly who all shoot well from 3. Every game at least a few of them are on. They 4 went 5 of 12 from deep tonight and that's with Dilly going 0 of 2.
Never assume a player is coming back as long as CCC is here.
He creates offensive rebounding opportunities.
I hope you’re right. Should be but he’s made some really dumbass moves last few years so hard to have much faith but I agree with your logic on this for sure.
I don’t think it’s going to turn on. As I pointed out, Edwards will be 20 years-old in TWO weeks. He’s nearly half a year older than Thiero.
Shame we have no one that can get them
Thiero sometimes can. But he only played 25 minutes. Can’t get any on the bench.
I think Beeker is more composed lolHe's slow, and looks like Beeker when he's out there.
Edwards, it appears, is just doing his time here, has one foot out the door. And Cal will do what best positions him for the League. Wash, rinse, repeat.

But his stock, along with Wagner’s, is rapidly falling. Dilly (bad game for sure) and Reed are moving up the list.
That's right. But guys like Edwards come here knowing they're leaving after one year no matter what. To me that would be incentive enough to bust my ass while here. Don't know the kid so can't say why he's apparently not putting in the work. Probably overestimating his value due to all the hype. He could be in for surprise come draft night. But never fear, Cal will whatever he can to get him in the green room.

after 8 games, Edwards is tied with Dillingham in rebounds (35). Fewer than every one else who plays 15mpg or more.
Yesterday he shot more 3’s (missing them all) than Reeves and Dillingham combined. That’s bad for all 3 because the other 2 should have shot more.
He constantly fails to finish at the rim.
I hate to say it, but he is on his way to BJ Boston status. I correctly predicted Boston failing, but I thought Edwards would be really good (better than Knox was). Right now a good comp for him is FR or Soph Darius Miller. Can we at least get JR or SR Miller from him.

so the coach says the kid doesn't prepare for games and isn't as dedicated as he should be
but he still gets a lion's share of minutes in the game over a supposedly deep team?
the math doesn't add up

Put Reeves at the 3, send Edwards to the bench, and let him watch Thiero play like a grown ass man at the 4. He can spell Thiero from time to time, and be pushed to actually improve.
Never gonna happen though.
nope, not unless we lose 4 more games between now and mid January
Hi misses a lot of shots around the rim (likely a strength issue). Had he made that lay-up on the long oop attempt from Reed yesterday in the second half when we were rallying, Rupp would have absolutely exploded. Instead he missed and we lost that momentum.
It's really frustrating because I feel like we really need him to make a run.He just doesn't seem to be strong at anything.
The scouting reports were out there. There were a lot of them I'm sure, the ones I saw were spot on from what he's put up so far.
Just look at Livingston ... no matter what, he is gone. Even as a second round pick, he got 4 years, $7.7 million (first two years guaranteed), more than most on this board will make in decades of hard work.
Start Bradshaw and bring him off the bench- haven't saw much from him yet and he was supposed to be a top 1-5 NBA draft pick
Damn, I forgot about that. No wonder he was really good in HS. Lmao Dude needs to sit.
Then get rid of him. Or sit him. Ridiculous if Cal and staff count on this guy Jan- March. You don’t win w guys like Justin Edwards.
Damn was that who missed that?! I heard it but didn’t see the play. Of course it was fvcking Edwards. 😑
Indeed. It summed up his contributions to the team overall.
Lots of examples of how Cal plays his favorites to get their draft stock up. He’s willing to sacrifice UK wins in order to do so. He can’t leave soon enough for me.
