With LaMelo Ball on the roster, Edwards is happy that he can return to his original position and be the team’s shooting guard.“I feel like I’m a natural two guard at heart,” Edwards said. “I know [coach Chris Finch] harps on me passing the ball, but now we got LaMelo, so I’m happy.”“Now I got LaMelo, I got point guards,” he continued. “So, I don’t really got to bring it up at all. I can go to the corner for three, four plays in a row and just guard the best players.”Ball is an elite floor general who averaged 7.3 assists per game during his six-year stay in Charlotte. The star guard can also score when needed. The 6-foot-7 star averaged 20.8 points per game with the Hornets.More NBA News:“He Sets Standard”: Matt Lloyd Shuts Down Critics Qu
