Anthony Edwards did not want to come off the bench for USA Basketball?
On Thursday, Edwards said Kerr had called him before the start of camp and “he was telling me about coming off the bench. “I mean, of course I wasn’t cool with it,” Edwards said. “If that’s what it takes, I mean, I am willing to do it, but nah, I’m never cool with that. … He said Dwyane Wade came off the bench when Kobe played. I was like, all right, we don’t have a Kobe, but all right. But it was cool.”

Steve Kerr says Anthony Edwards is “the guy” and he might be.
But why is it that the NBA’s best athletes are so seldom great shooters?

As Team USA begins FIBA competition, it will be with five players under age 25, but not the only under-25 American who’s both made All-NBA and been on MVP ballots
On Ja Morant, sidelined, and Anthony Edwards staking a claim to Best Young American Player

More on this storyline
He could not be happier for Edwards, though. The two get along incredibly well. Edwards said after signing his contract extension in July that one of his main missions was to help Towns get back into the MVP conversation. And Towns swipes away any discussion about whose team it is. “There’s a respect factor. I respect him and he respects me, and that’s why everything works,” Towns said. “At the end of the day, there’s a lot of egos that come with being on an NBA team. To have people respect each other is something that’s very hard to come by. I think he understands that I just always, unequivocally, want the best for him.” -via The Athletic / August 24, 2023
