Tim Connelly on Anthony Edwards: He can be the best player in the world
Tim Connelly on Anthony Edwards: “The guy can be as good as anybody in the world. That type of talent, he’s certainly got the winning DNA that we’re all looking for. So, I just don’t want him to ever lose that joy. It’s pretty special to watch a person who’s that comfortable in his own skin. We can’t skip steps to be an elite team. He can’t skip steps to being an elite player. But there is no limit on what he can do. He can be the best player in the world.”

Had a good time doing a quick little draft story with @Jon Krawczynski today. We talked potential options at No. 19, why I’m a huge fan of the Tim Connelly hire, and more.

More on this storyline
Tim Connelly on Karl-Anthony Towns’ future: “I hope he’s here forever. I hope we have the type of team success that would allow us to look up and see Karl’s jersey being hung up in the rafters.” -via Minneapolis Star-Tribune / June 20, 2022
Tim Connelly on draft process: “If you can’t do it exactly like the way you had hoped, you have Plan B’s and C’s and feel good about those as well. Hopefully, we argue like crazy, respectfully, and challenge each other’s opinions and once the door opens it’s a “we” decision. No decisions from this group will be made by individuals. It’ll be made by the collection of colleagues.” -via Minneapolis Star-Tribune / June 20, 2022
