Timberwolves General Manager supports Edwards: The new season of "Ant-Man" will surely shine

On September 3, Timberwolves general manager Matt Lloyd was very confident in the performance of the team star Edwards in the new season and said bluntly that he will definitely perform well.

Lloyd said confidently: "Well, we can't guarantee too many things in life, but I can guarantee that he will play a great performance this year." Looking back on Edwards' five-year career in the NBA, his progress trajectory is clearly visible. Although he lost to Lamelo Ball in the "Best Rookie" selection, his growth has been impressive since then. He averaged 19.3 points per game in the rookie season, and increased to 21.3 points in the second season. Last season, he was even more fire-breaking, averaging 27.6 points per game, ranking fourth in the league, and has been selected for the All-Star lineup in the past three seasons.

Lloyd has a deep understanding of the progress of "Ant-Man" year by year: "Yes, I think one of his biggest advantages is his strong self-awareness. He can always clearly know what aspects he needs to grow and improve. Last year, he decided to increase the number of three-point shots and eventually became the league's three-pointer king. So, as long as he makes up his mind to do it and what kind of player he wants to be, he will definitely do it because he has this willpower." This clear understanding of himself and strong execution are undoubtedly the key factor in Edwards' continuous progress.

Lloyd also specifically mentioned Edwards' amazing training attitude during the offseason, believing that it will help him stand out from the competition. "And we can rest assured that he has a body fat percentage of only 3.5% in the offseason and is ready for the new season. We will track the shooting data of all players in the training hall, and since July 1, he has made 3,600 shots, which ranks second in the team. He sets the standard and benchmark for everyone, and he is the best player on the team himself." Such a self-disciplined and hardworking attitude makes us reason to believe that Edwards will face the challenge at his best in the new season.

In the new season, Edwards is expected to continue its upward momentum and bring more surprises to the Timberwolves. He may be more comprehensive on the offensive end, not only maintaining firepower outside the three-point line, but also making achievements in strong attacks and breakthroughs in the inside; on the defensive end, with his outstanding physical fitness and positive attitude, he may also become the team's defensive vanguard. Under his leadership, the Timberwolves may be able to achieve better results in the fiercely competitive field in the Western Conference.

In short, from the words of General Manager Lloyd, we feel the high expectation for Edwards. With self-awareness, strong willpower and amazing training attitude, the young star is ready to show his skills in the new season. In the new season, let us witness the wonderful blooms of "Ant-Man" Edwards on the field and see how he leads the Timberwolves toward higher goals. 【Follow me!
