Why are Anthony Edwards impact metrics so poor relative to his hype?

I love how much he backs up his play on defense too.
Really from the same mold of young kobe and wade where they are superstar scorers but don't neglect the other end.

Agree. As much as I love SGA his defensive tenacity on ball just doesn’t compare. Sure, it helps when the guys next to and behind you are so dominant on that end, but he’s much more likely than SGA to defend the other team’s star. Where as SGA is great at playing passing lanes.

He improved a lot since the beginning of the season but at the same time he was injured the last couple months so it's hard to see from stats. Now in the playoffs, he is both healthy and improved. I am sure his 3pt shooting pct will come down but overall game is still impressive. For us Twolves fans that watched him over the years, we know the improvements are real and not just abnormality.
