Teams are worried about Edwards' drive and enthusiasm for winning, and according to a source, the Golden State Warriors aren't a likely landing spot due to these concerns.

Despite media projections and upside that everyone acknowledges, he has a shaky reputation within NBA circles.

Scouts and executives have mentioned that his teams haven't won at any level, and that he even forgets plays and actions.

Meanwhile, the more we ask around about Edwards, the more we hear concern about his professionalism and ability to impact winning, even if his scoring production carries over.

This doesn't surprise me. He seemed way to eager to jack up threes when he could easily get to the basket whenever he wanted. Grinding to the hoop takes patience and persistence and he just took the easy way out too much for me.

He's never "had" to win.

That was the issue going to Georgia. I heard that as a criticism for sure.

I can see that. I watched him play in person and he took plays off.

Happy go lucky kid and perhaps a bit immature. His teams probably haven't won because of the other four guys more than him but it's the NBA, they should be used to teenagers by now.
