Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards raves about Donte DiVincenzo: ‘New York is gonna miss him’
NY Post
Anthony Edwards has yet to play with Julius Randle since the blockbuster trade that brought Karl-Anthony Towns to New York, but the All-Star guard already is a member of the Minnesota chapter of the Donte DiVincenzo fan club.
“F–king incredible,” Edwards said after the Timberwolves’ preseason loss to the Knicks in DiVincenzo’s return to the Garden on Sunday. “I mean, I don’t even need the ball, man. You see it, I’m having fun. It’s fun to play with Donte.
“I haven’t even got to play with Julius yet. So we’ll see what that looks like. But playing with Donte is … I’m not gonna lie, it’s fun as hell.”
Edwards said he didn’t see DiVincenzo jawing with Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson after the game, but he’s not surprised by his new teammate’s competitiveness.
“Hell yeah, he’s motivated every night he plays,” Edwards said. “Even when I used to play against him, that motherf–ker was busting through screens, and when he’s going downhill, he’s going downhill. He’s aggressive with everything that he does.
“So you can’t be mad at him, man. He does everything. He makes all the right plays. F–king shoots the cover off the ball. I mean, I know New York is gonna miss him.”
