A skilled lefty, stands out with his advanced mid-range game. He creates separation before rising into a smooth jumper, and his preference for the fadeaway to his left makes him tough to defend. Edwards complements that with soft touch around the rim and the vision to drive and dish when defenses collapse. In transition, he makes quick, decisive reads that keep the tempo high and teammates involved. His mid-range scoring gives him a reliable weapon that consistently puts pressure on opponents.
