Sophomore sensation Jaeden Roberts registered a game-high 24 points Saturday night, as second-seeded Burke clinched a trip to the Div. 4 boys basketball semifinals by unseating last year’s state champion with a convincing 68-50 rout of No. 7 Randolph.“Every team is different,” said Ryan. “Every team’s different offensively and defensively. They really bought into defense. As a coach, when a team does that, it’s really special. New guys, new faces, but they totally came together, especially during the mid-part of the year. I’m super happy for them.”Burke’s Josh Jean Charles, left, looks to shoot over Randolph’s...

Timberwolves need Anthony Edwards to show patience against switching defenses

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:24:05 GMT

Anthony Edwards has displayed the ability to adapt and react as defenses flash various looks in attempts to befuddle, or at least slow, him all season. Now, the Timberwolves guard has the next scheme he must master — switching.Minnesota’s past two opponents, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, have switched nearly every ball screen. Previously, opponents were often blitzing Edwards off of screens, sending two bodies at him. Edwards adjusted nicely, getting off the ball the moment the second defender came.That allowed his teammates to play offense essentially in a 4-on-3 situation and led to quality possessions.But with the switching, there is no easy key that triggers an automatic pass. Edwards is instead usually lined up against a slightly-lesser but still capable defender standing in front of him after the switch. The third-year guard seems to be interpreting that look as a signal to attack.He’s doing so early in shot clocks off Minnesota’s initial action, usually against...
