Warriors draft target Anthony Edwards should attack more, siblings say

Share

The Warriors might end up with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Anthony Edwards -- a 6-foot-5 shooting guard who spent his freshman year of college at Georgia -- is projected to be one of the top selections.

Naturally, Warriors fans are paying attention to anything and everything related to the 18-year-old.

Well, Edwards' brother and sister recently sat down with Steph Curry's parents, Dell and Sonya, for a conversation on the "Raising Fame: Sports Edition" podcast.

So what do Antoine and Antoinette believe Anthony needs to improve on at the next level?

"I think he needs to work on attacking the basket a little more," Antoine said. "He settles for the jump shot a lot when he's pretty strong and big. He gets to the hole with contact -- people slapping and grabbing his arm -- and he still can lay the ball up.

"You do that with ease. Why sit out there and make a difficult shot when you do something easy?"

Antoine wants to see more of this:

Edwards was a very streaky 3-point shooter in a Bulldogs uniform. He made at least four 3-pointers in a game seven times, but only he shot 29.4 percent from deep on the season.

Sometimes you settle for jumpers when you know you have this in your bag:

Antoinette agrees with Antoine, and told the Currys she would send Anthony a text message before every game to say: "Just remember, nobody can check you. Go to the hole."

"His jump shot is great, but sometimes it's off," she explained. "It's just off that day."

Edwards -- whose main sport was football entering high school -- still is learning how to play basketball.
