Anthony Edwards Reveals How He’s Learning To Deal With Double-Teams

Because he’s such a fierce competitor and strong offensive talent, all teams make plans to limit Anthony Edwards as much as they can.

That means he is often pursued by a double-team defensive scheme from opponents.

Edwards is still scoring a lot despite two men on him at all times, and he recently talked to Dane Moore about how that’s possible.

Edwards said overcoming double-teams is about “little reads” that allow him to know his options on the floor but he also said he’s been studying one player in particular.

He revealed that he’s been soaking up a lot of footage of Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers, via Legion Hoops.

Even though they play at a different tempo, Edwards said he has a lot to learn from Doncic about getting past double-teams.
