Jerzey Robinson claims she can beat Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards

Jerzey Robinson definitely has skills, but can she take on an NBA-level player? According to the No. 1 SG in California, she can take Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards. It seems like a bold claim, given that Edwards, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard, is a talented player averaging 26.2 points per game.

Speaking on the "Sloane Knows" podcast back in November, Jerzey Robinson revealed her dream matchup.

"I want to play against Ant for sure. Yeah I want to play against Ant," Robinson shared.

Not only that, but she was also confident about the final score. When the host, Sloane, asked how many baskets she could get, the young SG exclaimed:

"If I get ball first, I'm going to say 11-10 me. I'm always saying me and it's going to be me till it's proven wrong," claimed Robison.

On paper, the 2023 FIBA U16 Americas Championship MVP definitely looks like a strong challenger. She averaged 20.9 points and 6.9 rebounds for the 2024 USA Women's U17 National Team. Besides, in her sophomore year at Sierra Canyon High School, she averaged 22.5 ppg and 10.8 rpg per game.

In any case, Jerzey Robinson vs. Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards can be a treat for hoops fans. They can't wait to witness the ultimate clash between two prodigious basketball players.
