The Wolves have lost 16 blowout games this season. Nobody in the league is greater in the 4th quarter of blowout losses than Anthony Edwards.

In the past two blowout losses... Edwards is averaging 16.5 ppg in the 4th quarter!
In the past 4 blowout losses... Edwards is averaging 13.0 ppg in the 4th quarter!

For the season... in those 16 blowout 4th quarters...

46 - 92 fg (50%) -- 7.7 points per 4th quarter

__________

The rest of those games and in games where the outcome is sort of in doubt and he's not playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers...

36.9% fg -- 3.9 points per quarter

So you're saying he's a perfect fit for the way we play?

*deep sigh*

This fucking team.

When we drafted Edwards some (including me) wondered whether he truly loved the game. After watching him with the Wolves this season, I'm convinced he really likes playing basketball and he certainly shows more passion than we ever saw from Wiggins. But I still wonder whether he truly loves to win and hates to lose - the sort of hyper-competitive passion that fuels all the great players.

Spot On Drew. He fits the mold.

Why are we still talking about Wiggins?
