OKC Blue: Rob Edwards Has Received Interest From "Multiple" Franchises in The Last Week
As first reported by Ben Creider of InsideTheThunder, Oklahoma City Blue guard Rob Edwards has received interest from “multiple” NBA franchises in the last week, per sources.
Edwards, age 24, has played for the Thunder’s G League affiliate Blue for the last two seasons. This season, the guard has posted averages of 12.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 20.4 minutes while placing double-digit scoring efforts in 8-of-13 appearances.
In Edwards’ rookie campaign, the former Sun Devil placed double-digit scoring totals in 11-of-15 G-League contests, highlighted by two 20-point scoring outputs. In the guard’s bubble stint, Edwards shot a team-high 44.0 percent from deep across 6.1 attempts.
While playing for the Thunder’s Summer League roster, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 11.2 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in a 17.5-minute span across five games. In two contests, the guard posted 23-point efforts, good for the roster’s highest single-game output.
Edwards’ role has seen the guard utilized as Oklahoma City’s primary scoring threat off of the bench. The 24-year-old’s play style sees him enact as an on-ball shot creator, oftentimes unleashing stepback jumpers, pull-ups in the mid-range, and more. But with a hallmarked left-winged transition three– he also works off-the-catch. In his two seasons, Edwards has shot a career 35-of-69 (50.7%) from the left wing.
Edwards is currently playing with the Blue for the Winter Showcase Cup in Las Vegas, Nevada.
