Anthony Edwards with 15 points to lead Team USA in the exhibition win over Slovenia. But it’s the defense and the off-ball movement that Wolves fans should be most encouraged about. Doing a bit of everything. – 5:33 PM

Slovenia building some slight momentum to end the third quarter, but #TeamUSA is up, 67-49, entering the fourth quarter. Anthony Edwards leads USA with 12 points but 5 players (Reaves, Brunson, Banchero, Ingram, Johnson) have scored 7 or more.

Anthony Edwards and Jalen Brunson are the go to guys of Team USA this summer. Both they play fast and smart at the same time. Coach Kerr puts his mark in the team. #USABMNT #FIBAWC – 4:39 PM

More on this storyline
Earlier this summer, Edwards had told the Star-Tribune that he planned to train with Gobert in France. He provided an update about that on his birthday. “I didn’t get time to go out there because when I was supposed to go out there with Rudy, I had like a week and a half,” Edwards told HoopsHype. “I had to come here so it was just like man, I’m not worried about you.” -via HoopsHype / August 12, 2023
The Timberwolves were also able to resign Naz Reid, who was on the Select Team, and one of Edwards’ best friends in Minnesota. Edwards admitted the front office talked to him before Reid resigned from the club. “I loved it, that’s my dog,” Edwards said about Reid’s new deal. “I love every bit of it.” -via HoopsHype / August 12, 2023
The team will see Karl-Anthony Towns back in the fold after missing 51 games with his right calf injury this past season. A lot of reservations have been brought up about Towns’ fit with Gobert, but Edwards doesn’t seem too worried. “I think if we get KAT for a whole season, we’ll be alright.” -via HoopsHype / August 12, 2023
