Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards recently faced flak for comments criticising the older generation of NBA players lacking skill outside Michael Jordan, which put him on Rasheed Wallace’s radar.
In the most recent episode of The Sheed & Tyler Show, the one-time NBA champion expressed his feelings regarding Edwards, stating that he still has a long way to go before being regarded one of the league’s elite, particularly because of his defence.
“I like Ant-Man too, but here’s my thing: at this point in his career, in my opinion, he’s not better than Derrick McKey,” he remarked. “He isn’t better than Grant Hill. He is not better than Scottie Pippen. Do you understand what I am saying?
“I’m discussing both sides of the issue presently. You are aware that Derrick McKey was a defender. He is not a defender. “He’s improving, but he’s not that defender yet,” he said.
Edwards had his greatest season yet in 2023-24, averaging 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.3 steals in 79 regular-season games while shooting 46.1% from the field.

Anthony Edwards is just improving for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Anthony Edwards made himself a national name in the NBA last season because to his outstanding performances. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the 23-year-old swingman has the sixth-best chances of winning the NBA MVP award at +1,200. With their core largely intact, fans have higher expectations for Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves next season, and it will be intriguing to see if they can outperform themselves last season.
