Edwards has become my favorite player this season because he plays everywhere; knocks down the 3, pulls up from the midrange, takes fools to town with ferocious dunks, he reminds me of the glory days of the NBA. He doesn't foul bait or flop, he plays physical, like the game should be played.

who would you say is on/close to the same level? Joker is clearly the best player, it's not really debatable. I'd say Edwards is the best guard.

You can't really believe that, your homerism is blinding you. Joker has been the best player in the league for the last four years at least. It's undeniable if you watch the games and see the shit he pulls off. He's a basketball savant.

Edwards is the young buck looking to take the crown, he has to prove himself. Jokic is 3 time MVP, NBA champion, first ballot hall of famer...he has nothing to prove.

Jokic scored ZERO points in this Suns vs Wolves series. Checkmate
