Mike Conley: ‘This season has been one of the toughest ones I’ve had to deal with’

Edwards has been telling teammate Mike Conley and others: “You got to be willing to shoot five straight catch-and-shoot threes, don’t turn anything down.” He specifically mentioned Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels as players who need to capitalize on scoring opportunities when the Lakers collapse on him.” And I got to be willing to make those passes every time to open the defense up for me to be able to get downhill,” he added. -via Clutch Points / April 18, 2025
