Chris Finch reveals he regrets playing Anthony Edwards out of position as a point guard
Anthony Edwards is a pure shooting guard, but he has often had to play point guard.
During the 2025-26 season, Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch was obligated to employ Anthony Edwards as a point guard. This decision was beneficial for the team as Edwards improved his relationships with his teammates. However, the natural point guard LaMelo Ball proved to be a superior choice for this position. Finch acknowledged that the team did not create enough catch-and-shoot threes for Edwards, which hindered his performance.
LaMelo Ball's presence on the floor significantly increased Kon Knueppel's three-point shooting accuracy by 7%. With Ball and Edwards as the backcourt, the Timberwolves will experience a more straightforward system, making it challenging for opposing teams to counter their dynamic offense.
