Carsen, don't listen to the naysayers - picking on rookies provides great pleasure for some members of this group.

Read their comments and appreciate you're making someone happy. Then, go out and have fun.

Two says ago members were looking to trade Jason T.  Tomorrow it will be someone else who will get the whip. You've done well getting such early recognition. You name the player - we've dumped on them - myself included.

Edwards will be fine. He just needs to hit a few.

Carsen will be alright...he is expending a lot of energy on defense...kinda reminds me of Avery Bradley..took a lil minute for his offense to come. Carsen will be alright. Still my favorite Celtic.

Not too worried, he's active defensively, so that's good enough for now.

He's a make miss player. He looks great when his shot is going in, doesn't do a whole lot else when its not. So far it hasn't, I expect that will change. He was probably a little overhyped for what he is, a nice microwave guy.

I feel like his shot is very flat right now.

 Guys RELAX. He literally just got to the NBA. He's playing with Stars like Tatum, Kemba, Jaylen, Gordon now.

 U don't think he's nervous? Of course he is. Let's give him half a season before we judge him.

 He will go off for 20 points before you know it. Settle down Carsen. You belong brother.

His problem is he puts too much pressure on himself to be that guy that makes shots and he is hurrying and forcing too much. He needs to concentrate on defense, let the game slow down and have the game come to him.

I think, unfortunately, for some, the expectations are just a continuation of what he did in 5 minutes to a Cleveland team that had mostly G Leaguers playing against him. The reality is NBA players and defenses are much faster, better and more advanced than those that he saw in preseason, and Carsen needs to adjust.

Once he does, he will be fine but expecting Carsen to go 4 for 5 or 6 from three every game just isn't realistic. I'll be happy if he can just hit his threes at a 35% rate or higher(even if he is just taking 3-4 total field goals a game)and plays great defense.

No he does not.

Some players need this. I remember Avery Bradley say that the assignment to D-league helped him when he was a rookie who look lost. He said playing in there helped rrmind him that he can play.

Wouldn't be a bad idea. And that doesn't mean anyone is saying he isn't good enough to be successful in the NBA. I'm almost certain he'll have some nights where he's knocking down shots like crazy. Spending time in the G league is not uncommon for a rookie, nor should it be, unless you're like the number 1 pick
