Anthony Edwards Turns to Michael Jordan for Scoring Tips as Timberwolves Open Camp

The Timberwolves star detailed post-up mechanics from Jordan to add a mid-range dimension.

Overview

  • At Minnesota's media day, Edwards said Jordan advised him on getting to his spots, pulling up, and shooting over defenders.
  • He highlighted a specific post technique from Jordan, leaning with the top of the back rather than the hips to create space.
  • Edwards noted the conversations are routed through a mutual connection and described the relationship as casual for now.
  • Coach Chris Finch said Edwards has become more diligent with film and conditioning and could enter MVP contention with further growth.
  • Minnesota returns seven of its top eight scorers and emphasized offseason chemistry work, which Edwards said follows his playoff three-point struggles (11-for-39 vs. Oklahoma City).
