coach Steve Kerr during their time together for Team USA at the FIBA World Cup this summer, but Edwards revealed on Thursday afternoon that wasn't always the case.
Edwards joined Kerr and Bob Myers, then the Warriors team president, for dinner later that evening, where they reiterated the same message, including telling Edwards if they had the No.1 overall selection, they would not have drafted him."He's like 'man, you've got to see Steph [Curry], KD and Klay [Thompson] workout," Edwards said."They still was continuously telling me 'you didn't work hard enough. If we had the No.1 pick, we wouldn't take you.
