According to ESPN, fan-favorite Anthony Edwards believes he is the “No. 1 option” on the team despite the immense talent around him.
“I’m still the No. 1 option,” Edwards said. “Y’all might look at it differently, but I don’t.”
Edwards believes when the action kicks off this summer he will have a prominent role and he isn’t afraid to work for it.
“I just go out there and be myself. … Shoot my shots, play defense. They’ve got to fit in to play around me. That’s how I feel,” Edwards said.

Realistically Anthony Edwards is the youngest player on the team with more Olympic appearances ahead of him. With a team heavily filled with players heading out the door, he might get a backseat. However, if that happens it’s surely not because he isn’t made for the game or the best option. It’s a team sport and others have more experience than him which could play a factor.
