He played four seasons at Syracuse and was named to the All-ACC Third-Team and ACC All-Defensive Team in 2023. However, he transferred to West Virginia for his final collegiate campaign. In 23 appearances (22 starts) as a Mountaineer, Edwards averaged 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.7 blocks in 28.3 minutes per game. He shot an efficient 61.3 percent from the field but struggled at the free-throw line, making only 52.3 percent of his attempts. Edwards also suited up for the Netherlands senior team during World Cup qualifying and Eurobasket in 2022. 出生於阿姆斯特丹，JE移居美國就讀IMG學院，之後進入大學。他在雪城大學 打了四個賽季，並在2023年入選ACC年度第三隊和ACC最佳防守陣容。然而， 他在最後一個大學賽季轉學至西弗吉尼亞大學，出賽23場(22場先發)，每場 出賽28.3分鐘，場均15.0分、8.0籃板、1.2助攻和1.7阻攻。投籃命中率高 達61.3%，但罰球命中率相對掙扎，僅有52.3%。JE也曾代表荷蘭國家隊參加 2022年世界盃資格賽和歐錦賽。 Analysis At just under seven feet tall, Edwards has a large frame, which he uses to excel at clearing space on post-ups, setting screens and grabbing rebounds. He is not a natural scorer but has great energy, allowing him to score on putbacks and lobs. Edwards has good patience and decent footwork in the paint but lacks an elite touch around the rim. He was able to block shots at a high rate and didn’t commit many fouls in college, showing good defensive discipline, but there’ll likely be a learning curve on both ends of the court at the professional level. 身高接近七呎的JE擁有寬厚體格，他利用此優勢在低位單打、設掩護和搶籃 板等有出色發揮。不是天生的得分手，但擁有傑出活力，能藉由補籃和空中 接力取分。JE在禁區內擁有良好的耐心和腳步，但缺乏頂級的終結能力。他 在大學期間能夠送出大量的阻攻，且控制犯規次數，展現出良好的防守紀律 ，但在職業層級的攻防兩端可能需要一段成長期。 Projection An undersized center who excels at rebounding and finishing lobs, Edwards draws comparisons to Dwight Powell, Brandon Clarke and Trayce Jackson-Davis. All three of those guys have carved out solid NBA roles after being older prospects taken outside of the lottery. Edwards has the potential to do the same, it’s just a matter of if he falls into the right situation. 作為身材相對矮小，擅長搶籃板和空中接力的中鋒，JE會被拿來與Dwight Powell、Brandon Clarke和Trayce Jackson-Davis對照。上述三位都是樂透 區之外中選的大齡新秀，但能在NBA站穩腳步。JE也有潛力辦到，取決於能 否進入適合他發揮的環境。 --
