John Edwards (Basketball)

Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John Edwards is
an American professional basketball player who is currently playing for
the Iowa Energy of the NBDL. Edwards played collegiately for Kent State
University. While at Kent State, Edwards was part of two of the Golden
Flashes‘ trips to the NCAA tournament which included their appearance in
the 2002 Elite Eight. He was named MAC Defensive Player of the Year in
his final season and holds the Kent State record for season and career
blocked shots. He was invited to the Indiana Pacers‘ training camp in
2004. Mainly due to his size, and some unexpected injuries to the
Pacers‘ big men early in the season, he was the only free agent training
camp invitee to earn a spot on the main roster. Even so, he was expected
to be released as soon as the Pacers got healthy, but the rash of
suspensions resulting from the November 19, 2004 brawl at the Palace of
Auburn Hills enabled him to remain on the team. As a result of this and
other injuries to the bench, the Pacers were only able to dress six
players and Edwards constituted the team’s entire bench.
