Like small guys, Carson is used to being shorter but he is deceptive with a 6-6 wingspan and he has that compact lower body kind of strength ..He has proven his shooting on biggest stage against everything that gets thrown at him.
Like Isaiah these guys still get over looked .Brad will use his skills well.
He has a chance to be one of the steals of the  draft
.Romeo is 19, it wasn't till I read the age of Larry Bird 23 when he started and McHale 23 it fully hit me how raw these kids come in.
Developed properly and in the right system what an advantage where a place like Philly and Phoenix just grind them up and destroy these high picks.
Last year Robert Williams needed a life coach as well as a year of maturing and that has turned him around, Nowhere would he have got the support ,the new facility and even the short ride up to Maine for 5 games  about 25 minutes per .So believe me there was little he learned except a confidence boost and a good run. Any claims that the Red Claws had anything to do with his game are unfounded.

Last year was poisonous and ate away at the core of these young guys and the ever present threat of being traded would undermine a vet. FIBA hopefully was cathartic.

small guys with unlimited energy give the older pros fits .   Carson has that younger like  AB energy that leaves older players like Bron standing and watching the play and playing no defense .  20 year olds wear out the 30 somethings .  Thats where the Lakers weakness lies.  The energy it takes to make one mighty pro defensive stand , will kill them over the next minute or two. Celtics must stay in constant motion .

The Lakers won't even be a concern for us anyways. I have no idea why people are considering them as a shoo-in for the playoffs after last year's fiasco (I correctly predicted that they'd miss it last season, think they have an outside shot at it this season).

I bet there is another thread on my favorite Celtic, Carson Edwards.

Good points, though I’d point out that he is listed at 6’0” 199; Kemba is listed at 6’1” 184; Isaiah 5’9” 185; and Terry Rozier 6’1” 190.

I’m betting that Carsen will be the best defender of that group, a better shooter than Terry, and more durable than IT.

He has a chance to be one of the steals of the  draft.

I would only add that Grant Williams does, too.

The Lakers are in the Playoffs this year.  Winning it. I don't see it.
Edwards is going to be a great player for us. I think Danny is getting better at drafting. I think Williams is going to also give us some good minutes. If Hayward commits to DA. Brown is gone for a big, IMO.
