Carsen will be at least Korver version. But I expect more.
He's already a much better defender (I know, not saying much compared to KK) and as a PG clearly a better ball handler.

Korver made his living making 3s at very high rate. That has kept him the league for 16-17 seasons.Not his handing ,playmaking , defense  or whatever ....

So saying that player X is better than Korver pretty much means he is better shooter than Korver. Everything else is irrelevant in this context.

Having said that if Edwards can make 3s at a 38% rate i'd be happy
Sure I suppose, if you want to limit the discussion in that way.  The point I was responding to was that he could be better than Korver.  In what way?  Korver is one of the best dead-eye shooters in the last 20 years.  Will he be better in that way? I doubt it, but I do think he will be better and I listed some attributes in which he could be better.

I will be doing backflips if Carsen makes an All-Star game. As for now, I like the role he has been playing off the bench and expect him to be ahead of Wanamaker in the rotation once Brown returns.

I know he is pretty short, but it is really odd that he fell to the 2nd round. If he was considered such a steal, why didn't any other teams take him. I guess the same goes for Grant, but I can see teams being unsure of his ceiling.
