Give me a break.  Unsubstantiated?  I saw how his career unfolded--as did everybody else on this forum, except you apparently.  You're rationalizing an unsupportable position.  Especially when you misapply the data to reach absurd conclusions, and fail to recognize the interpretive context of what the data tells you.

I think it is admirable that you are sticking up for a former player.  But your defense is misguided, as he simply wasn't that good of a player.  He was a pretty good shooter, and subpar in every other facet of the game.  There was very little upside.  Which is why his role diminished by his junior year, and even more his senior season.

Now, if you want to argue that the 89-90 team would have been better with improved point guard play--you'll certainly get no argument from me.  That was clearly the team's Achilles heel.  In large part because Edwards wasn't that good.  He was a fraction of the player that his predecessor, Sherman Douglas, was and his freshman stats were bolstered significantly by playing on a loaded team that featured the future #1 and #3 picks in the draft.

There's nothing loose nor unsubstantiated about either of those facts.
