Edwards wasn't in Team USA's initial starting lineup, but he's solidified his spot with exceptional performances in five exhibition games.
“Anthony Edwards, that’s gonna be a household name,” USA assistant coach Erik Spoelstra said Wednesday. “ it already is.”Edwards acknowledged that his performance in Team USA’s five exhibition games has drawn attention, but said of the Germany game, “I was just the guy that night. Another night it might be Brunson, it might be Ingram, Haliburton, Bridges. It was just my night, but we have a team full of great players.
On Thursday, Edwards said Kerr had called him before the start of camp and “he was telling me about coming off the bench. Kerr has told the story of how the Americans’ first starting lineup of camp was picked — by him asking all the other coaches in the room to write down the names of the players they thought should be out there. By the second scrimmage, Edwards was a starter instead of Johnson, and nothing has changed since.
