What is Edwards supposed to be good at?

Shocks me it is not below 20%. Probably because he goes 0-fer when it matters.

It's never "do what helps the team win" ... it's keep "trying to do" what the NBA scouts "expect" to see based on the hype. None of Cal's purpose is to WIN but to MARKET these players for the draft. If winning happens then great but it's certainly secondary to Cal. Just what I see and I hope I'm wrong.

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.

I for one cannot wait to have a coach at UK whose main priority is to bring a Natty to Lexington.

Cal made that clear from the beginning. But we all accepted it as long as UK was going to Final Fours.

I was hoping Edwards could be like Poythress.

I think he's got potential but something just not right.

He was also listed as a guard. Which means he's got handles.

I didn't.

1. Cal has stated publicly that Edwards does not prepare for games like he should
2. Edwards looks soft, he clearly isn't spending a lot of time in the gym
3. He's out of place on defense
4. He doesn't box out
5. His shot has no touch
6. He has butterfingers and apparently no grip strength
7. He gets bumped out of position easily by guys smaller than he is

He's next to useless.

Other than that, what else you got? 😂
