2014, WF, 6-foot-7, 195 pounds
Edwards showed he is starting to turn potential into production. He had a couple big-scoring games during the tournament, even though his U-16 team was playing up in the U-17 division. Edwards held his own, with his team losing to the eventual champions, Reach Legends, in the quarterfinals. He has a nice skill set to go along with his size and length. He does the majority of his work in the mid-post, around 10-to-15 feet, and can score with his back to the basket or facing up. He used his length to finish around the rim and showed off a soft floater in the lane. The smooth wing shot it well from deep for the majority of the tournament. In the quarterfinal game, he came out attacking defenders early, showing how good he could be. Once he becomes consistently productive, he could be special.
