Anthony Edwards is the top scorer for the U.S. so far in the Basketball World Cup at 16.5 points per game.
The first big test of the World Cup awaited the Americans on Friday, and Edwards made sure they passed. He went scoreless in the first half; the U.S. trailed Montenegro 38-37 at the break. He knocked down his first jumper after halftime and went on to score 17 points the rest of the way; the Americans outscored their underdog opponents 48-35 after halftime“He’s a guy who we count on to generate offense and he had a tough first half but hit that first shot of the third quarter,” said U.S.
He was asked about the U.S. chances in upcoming games: “I mean,” he said, pausing briefly for the slightest giggle, “I think we’re going to win.” And he’s even taken on a fan who tends to shout when players have taken free throws in Manila. Edwards swished one in a group-stage game against Greece,earlier this summer, a deal that’ll easily exceed $200 million over five seasons and cemented his family’s financial future — says and does all those things with a smile, one that’s been on his face for much of the last month since the team assembled in Las Vegas for training camp. On this team, he’s The Guy.“It’s a team sport,” Edwards said.
His big scoring effort so far: 34 points, as the U.S. rallied from a 16-point deficit in an exhibition against Germany. Edwards capped the winwith 59 seconds left in that one, and Reaves is still marveling over what he’s seeing.
