Welcome to Boston, Carsen Edwards!

[Excapegoat]

I just wrote the same thing on the other thread.  I saw Virginia put DeAndre Hunter on him during the Elite Eight.  Edwards scored 42 points on Hunter, the best defensive player in this draft.  I am speaking as an UVA alumni.

Me too. Makes up for the wasted pick of Grant Williams IMO.

Maybe give him some time before you judge him. I think he will pleasantly surprise you.

If you're a UVa grad then you should know it's "alumnus" not "alumni" for singular usage.  ;^)

EDIT TO MY POST:  But you're incorrect.  Edwards did not score 42 on Hunter.  Bennett didn't put Hunter on Edwards until there were fewer than 13 minutes in regulation.  Edwards did hit four threes, a long two, and a layup against Hunter.  So 16 points. Then Bennett decided to start double-teaming Edwards (which worked).

All that being said, Edwards was PHENOMENAL.  And I love that the Celtics got him.  But you can't pin those 42 points on Hunter's defense.

Welcome, mr Edwards.

I wouldn't be surprised if you would turn out to be the best player from our picks this draft, even though you were only taken in the second round.

[PhoSita]

If he's Shane Larkin 2.0 I'd be happy with the pick.

Let's hope he can rekindle a little bit of the IT magic, though.  Just a few minutes here and there of heroic no-no-yes shot making would be cool.

he hasn't even put the green jersey on

Welcome, and thank you Jeff Green (LAC pick turned into #33 and MIL 2020 1st).

Isn't Jeff Green the Memphis pick?

MEM traded Jeff Green to LAC for LAC 1st
MEM traded LAC 1st to BOS for #31 and #35 in 2016
BOS traded LAC 1st for 2019 #24 and #33 (Edwards)
BOS traded #24 and Baynes for next year's MIL pick

LAC 1st was lottery protected for 2019 and 2020 and would then have turned into a 2nd

I think Edwards could be that scoring sparkplug/sharpshooter off the bench we've been hoping to get in recent years (kind of like how Reddick and Korver play, except with more athleticism and hopefully not a pure liability on defense). He just scores.

So shouldn't you be thanking Deyonta Davis and Rade Zagorac? Or Matisse Thybulle? A little love for Aron Baynes, perhaps? lol

[Who]

A taller Nate Robinson?

[Smartacus]

I took a trip to Japan about a month ago and worked a side weekend gig bar backing at Tavern in the Square in Littleton for about 8 weeks to help pay for it.

One of the benefits of the experience was that I actually got to catch a lot of the tournament games in a jacked up crowd when I typically if anything watch them alone or max with like 5 friends.

I remember one night in particular where it Virginia vs. Purdue and I needed Virginia for my bracket. I don't think there was a player in the tournament who drew more groans from the crowd than that little guy dropping 3 after 3 in DeAndre Hunter -the best defender in the tournament's- grill on his way to 42 points for the game.

Didn't know who he was but I remember thinking that this kid has my respect even if he never plays a minute in the league. Come to find out today that kid was Carson Edwards.

Welcome to Boston Carson happy to have you.

Eddie House?

I just read this comment after asking if Edwards was like Nate Robinson and the description of a sparkplug / sharpshooter off the bench at 6-1 made me think of Eddie House.

Is House a better comparison for Edwards? Pure shooter.
Or Nate Robinson? More ball-handling and athleticism.
Or neither? Are both off the mark?

such certainty with such little evidence. we must be on the internet.
