Overview
- ESPN insider Shams Charania reports Edwards’ top offseason focus is building a post game from the mid, high and low post, including a fadeaway modeled on Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
- Team officials believe the added post and midrange elements could become a go-to scoring option when pace slows late in games and during the postseason.
- Edwards vowed intensive summer work after the Wolves’ 2025 exit and has been training at the team facility since June to expand his half-court counters.
- The 24-year-old is coming off a season averaging about 27.6 points with a career-best 39.5% from three, leading the NBA in makes while seeking more consistency inside the arc.
- Coverage also highlights roster questions facing Minnesota, with critiques of Naz Reid’s reported five-year, $125 million deal and the loss of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, even as veterans like Kevin Garnett and peers such as Giannis Antetokounmpo publicly endorse Edwards’ trajectory.
