Anthony Edwards has been electrifying in the weeks leading up to the FIBA World Cup. Coach Steve Kerr is happy about how his star man played, and Edwards has deserved the praise.
Steve Kerr, Tyronne Lue, and Erik Spoelstra bring a wealth of experience, having won seven championships between them. Spoelstra has been coaching the longest of the three, being a head coach for 15 years. He's imbibed the Heat culture completely and brought his flair to the organization.
It's not just Edwards who has been playing well for the USA, it has been the whole team. From Jalen Brunson to Austin Reaves, everyone has played their part. Team USA began their journey to the title by beating New Zealand by 27 points, and Edwards played a solid role off the bench. Scoring 14 points, the 22-year-old was electric.
