Anthony Edwards seriously notes teams trying to underestimate his capabilities on the three-point line. Edwards continues to improve in his downtown shooting, adding another skill for the formidable guard.

Particularly, Anthony Edwards had a heated streak from three against the Portland Trail Blazers when he had nine shots out of 15 from afar.
While interviewed by Sneaker Reporter, Edwards shared how he began developing his downtown shots. He also warned his opponents that he’ll continue providing more threes if they don’t guard him.
“(Micah Nori) be telling me like, ‘Try to get downhill.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, they’re going under.’ I work on my game too much to try to force going downhill if they’re gonna keep going under. I’m gonna shoot that. I really be surprised at this point, like, I made two threes in the first quarter today,” Edwards said.
“I’m gonna keep shooting this b***h. I don’t know what they doin
g, but I’m gonna keep shooting it… I’m happy. I hope they keep going under. I’m gonna keep lacing that b***h.”
Anthony Edwards averages 29.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists so far in the season. He and the Timberwolves are currently 6-3 in the conference, while they’ll attempt to continue their three-game win streak against the Miami Heat on November 11.
