Anthony Edwards Reveals Harsh Criticism From Steve Kerr
Recently speaking with the media, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards revealed harsh pre-draft criticism from Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr
"I thought I was working hard," Edwards said of his pre-draft workout with Golden State, per Jamal Collier of ESPN. "When he came, I was going through drills and he kept stopping them, like, 'That's all you got? That's all you got?' And I'm like, 'Bruh, I'm going hard as you want me to go. What you want me to do? I'm sweating crazy.'"
Edwards added, "He's like, 'Man, you've got to see Steph [Curry], KD and Klay [Thompson] work out," Edwards said. "They still was continuously telling me, 'You didn't work hard enough. If we had the No. 1 pick, we wouldn't take you.' And I was just like, 'Damn, that's crazy.' Me and my trainer riding home after dinner and we're just talking like we got to pick it up," Edwards said. "I don't know how, I don't know what we got to do, but we got to pick it up. After that. I became a madman at the gym."
Motivated by Kerr's comments, Edwards improved his work ethic, and is now one of the most dynamic young players in the entire NBA. With the Warriors having the second pick, they missed out on the chance to draft Edwards anyways, but they told him he needed to work harder in order to have the chance to join their organization.
