Edwards’ production was balanced across several categories. He contributed on the glass, created defensive activity with 1.8 steals per game, and avoided turnovers throughout the event.

Why he earned the badge: The Work Horse badge fits Edwards because he impacted possessions in multiple ways. His rebounding, defensive disruption, and ball security suggest a player who can help his team even when he is not the primary scorer.

Developmental focus: Edwards can continue developing his passing reads, especially when attacking closeouts or drawing help defenders. Turning more of his defensive pressure and rebounding opportunities into transition playmaking would elevate his two-way impact.
