“I’m so impressed by Ant. So impressed by Ant. Umm, my favorite player to watch. Just grown so much since he came into the league, at 22. Just his love for the game just shines bright. And that’s something that’s probably, that’s one of the reasons why I like him the most, because he just loves basketball.
He’s grateful to be in his position. He’s taking advantage of every opportunity he’s gotten. Love everything about Ant. Everything. I’ll be watching him, going forward. And, you know he’s going to guard and play extremely hard every single night. But I was really impressed with him. And he’s going to be somebody I’m following for the rest of his career.”

His ceiling is one of the greatest players this league has ever seen. For those who do not get to watch Edwards on a regular basis, that may sound hyperbolic. But it only takes a few games of closer examination before you realize how good he really is. If KD didn’t know, he sure does now.
