For those saying he isn't polished, I just don't see it. He has a lot of single-game clips and practices/drills on Youtube going back to his freshman year. He seems to be plenty polished for a guy his age (BTW, I think I read he is very young for a senior (like 16 or recently turned 17). He also has a very good short-ranged jump shot and has exceptional athleticism. I know Dan has compared him to Deonte Williams; however, while I cannot recall ever seeing high school tape on Williams, I have to believe Edwards, based on his HS film verses where Williams was his freshman year, is a far better player with a higher ceiling, in terms of both athleticism and skills
I've also seen comparisons to Djurisic, which I don't see at all. They are two different players with very different games. Djurisic is nowhere near as athletic or as long as Edwards. By his senior year, Djurisic had developed into a very solid player, because he was gritty, tough, and got better every year with his skills, but his ceiling was always limited.
If Edwards can add at least 20 lbs of muscle by the start of next season without losing his agility and explosiveness, and continues to progress with his skill-set, he will be very a solid contributor next year. If progresses with the same trajectory as Djurisic, then I think he's an eventual all-SEC player with NBA potential.
BTW is 6'10''/210lbs his accurate measurables?
