- Offense: Possesses shooting range out to 22ft., however needs to improve consistence. Must develop a consistent pull up jumpshot; especially in transition. Has good court vision and court judgment, but overdribbling causes turnovers and allow the defense to recover. Good finisher around the basket and quality body control when driving into the lane.
- Rebounding: Rebounds well for a point guard. Does a good job of boxing out his man and not giving up offensive rebounds.
- Defense: Plays excellent one on one defense but needs to improve his defense away from the ball and on the help side. His footspeed allows him to stay with any player in a one on one situation. Must work on not gambling defensively for steals.

- Strengths: Footspeed, Quickness, Court Vision, Physical Condition, Competitive Edge.

Edward established one of the fastest footspeed drill times at the combine and performed very well over the entire weekend. Edward must continue to not show emotion on the court when something negative occurs for him or his team.
