The condition is slightly average! The performance of the former Timberwolves inside star in the FIBA ​​are worrying?

In the previous group match of the 2027 Men's Basketball World Cup European Qualification Preliminary, the Netherlands defeated Bulgaria 97-70. After this game, the Dutch team's record increased to 3 wins and 1 loss, and successfully advanced to the European qualifiers; while the Bulgaria team's record dropped to 1 win and 3 losses, ranking at the bottom of the group and was eliminated.

Although the Netherlands won the game, the team's starting center Jesse Edwards was not particularly outstanding. He played 9 minutes and 36 seconds in the game, made 2 of 3 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, scored 5 points and 2 rebounds, and had 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +8. Edwards can be said to be affected by foul issues, which has also led to his very limited playing time. He cannot play the role he should play on the court. He has scored some points on the offensive end, but he really cannot play a greater value on the defensive end. As the team's starting center, this performance is more or less bleak. With Edwards' ability, he should be able to play more roles in both offense and defense, but he obviously did not do this, and such performance seemed a little helpless.

During the qualifying round of the European Cup, Edwards averaged 11.9 minutes in these four games, with averaging 6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.3 blocks, 0.8 turnovers and 3.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 66.7%, free throw percentage of 44.4%, and averaging plus-minus value of -3.3. Edwards' performance in these games has always been relatively average. He has not fully demonstrated his threat on the offensive end, his scoring ability has always been relatively limited, and his contribution on the defensive end is also seriously insufficient. The Netherlands team has a very good record and the team has easily advanced. As a result, Edwards' average positive and negative value per game in these games is actually negative, which can even show that he cannot help the team stabilize the situation when he is on the court, and it even has a negative impact in many cases. Edwards, from the Netherlands, was born in May 2000 and is 25 years old. He was the undrafted in the NBA draft last year. According to data from the joint trial physical test session before last year's NBA Draft, Edwards' bare feet were 212.1cm tall, weighed 107.3kg, wingspan was 226.1cm, and standing height was 281.9cm. Edwards played for the Minnesota Timberwolves as a two-way contract player last season. He lacked enough playing time and performance opportunities in the NBA arena. His performance in the NBA Development League is not particularly outstanding, but can only be considered a sloppy level. This summer, the Timberwolves cut Edwards and he immediately joined the Australian NBL team Melbourne United. I don’t know what Edwards will perform in the NBL next season. With his condition in the FIBA ​​arena, we will also be a little worried about this.
