Welcome in.

Indeed, former Georgia Star soon to be MBA player Anthony Edwards to the jump.

It's nice to see and talk to you again.

Anthony.

Nice to see you finally meet you.

Absolutely.

You know what?

I love that you said there.

I've been living in a pandemic because all I want to do is play basketball.

It's funny when you were going through your freshman season and your name started to crop up right to be at the top of these mock drafts, you probably had one idea of the draft process.

But now, during a pandemic, it's pretty different.

What is the biggest adjustment you've had to make?

I feel like just it's been no adjustment.

I feel like I've always been in the gym, and that's the only thing I want to do.

Like I said, it's get better.

So it's been no adjustment.

Luckily, I had a gym that was private.

No.

One, uh, no Corona.

So I was just always in the gym.

Focus on getting better.

Well, you are ready then to go for next week.

You know, you and Tyreese Maxie took part in that made for TV Pro Day a couple weeks ago and just like oh, is everyone has an opinion, right?

There was some criticism.

What do you have to say to the people who did not like what you all did?

Um, I really have nothing to say to him.

I just hope they stay blessed and, you know, find a way to get better every day like I do.

I don't really care about the critics of the product that is very gracious of you.

Certainly looked like you guys were having fun there.

What was that experience like for you?

It was It was one of a kind.

I mean, just working out in front of all the superstars working out in front of the NBA champs and then just I feel like the clutch program just being being blessed to be a part of that and then being blessed be the workout on TV in front.

Everyone, absolutely.

Now we've heard you mentioned Dwyane Wade as someone you might compare yourself to, or look up Thio, and we saw Duane not only agree with you, but he says that you could be better than he was, which is pretty incredible when someone like that Hall of Fame caliber player says something like that.

But does it put any extra pressure on you as you go through this process of becoming a pro?

No.

It puts no pressure on me.

It just It just makes me feel like my ceiling is just get higher and higher, and it makes me wanna go harder every time I get in the gym.

Yeah, for sure.

And look, your Georgia coach Tom Creen coached, weighed at Marquette.

Did he give you any advice on how to become a Dwayne Wade like player?

I just feel like the only thing he told me was Dwyane Wade didn't come in how I came in, so that probably only the only thing that made me feel good, he told me I came in different than Dwyane Wade and Victor Oladipo.

Look, you can make certainly your own name for your own self, one of one.

By all accounts, you really are expected to be one of the first names off the board, which is pretty cool.

Caesar's William who Hill has you, is the odds on favorite to go number one right now.

If you could pick, is there any specific team where you would want to start your MBA career.

I just whatever team is just gonna take the chance on me.

I feel like I'm gonna go there and give it my all.

And I'll be blessed to be able to play for any one of these organizations, no matter who it is.

No matter if I go one, and no matter if I go 60 I I feel like I'll be blessed.

We'll see all these answers.

You're clearly ready for the n B A.

You are given all the right things the teams want to hear.

And Anthony, this draft is, of course, virtual.

You're not gonna physically walk upto Adam Silver and shake his hand, but still, you're gonna be on TV.

Do you have any plans for what you wanna wear on draft night?

Are we gonna see some drip here?

What?

You're going to see a little drip?

It's gonna It's gonna be all right.

I mean, I don't really wanna, you know, spoilers.

So I just want everybody to be surprised when they see me.

But you got something brewing.

Yeah, I got some going.

All right.

See, that didn't disappoint me.

either.

I'm very happy to hear it.

Anthony.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Best of luck.

We will be excited to see where you go next week.

Thank you.

So thank you so much for having me.

And it's nice.

Me.
