I guess his absolute ceiling is Isaiah Thomas, but a) it seams highly unlikely that he'll reach that ceiling and b) I was never a fan of IT anyway cause he's a liability on D.I could understand drafting a guy like IT at #60/late second round. I wouldn't draft Edwards at #33/early second round. Anyway, it's still early in the season. Hopefully he'll bounce back.IT almost singlehandedly willed the team to the nba finals. And you won't pick that guy with the 33rd pick in the draft?!Dude, you are lucky to get a rotation player at 33.No team can make a deep playoff run with IT being their best scoring option.

Everytime I read a box score, this guy Carsen has 0 pts. Incredible

I must be missing something - or do you not consider getting to the ECF a “deep playoff run”?
Quote from: Hoopvortex on December 02, 2019, 01:41:14 AM He and Grant Williams are getting generous developmental minutes because the coaching staff think they’ll be a contribution down the line. Edwards is being groomed for a similar kind of spot as Terry Rozier had - namely, a “scoring point“ or “lead guard“ or something like that. Actually it’s kind of remarkable the similarities: low turnovers and high defensive rebounding are two of the surprising similarities, despite their different builds.Built like a fireplug, has toughness and gets up into his man.Nice tight handles, excellent left hand, has a real repertoire for getting shots off the dribble, going left or right.If I am his coach, I keep telling him, “keep making the right play, young fellow, when it’s your shot, shoot it. We believe in you, keep shooting.”Don’t get hung up on the box score. There is a specific role for him to play, and he’s got what it takes to step into it. Do I need to remind people that he is a rookie who has played fewer than 20 games?Grant Williams will probably play 10 years in the NBA even if he doesn't get any better just based on positional flexibility and general basketball awareness. He's constantly in the right place and doing the right things. There was a play against New York where he was following Kemba on the break. When Kemba looked up to pass to him for a decent shot, Williams hollered to pass to Tatum who was streaking behind him, literally pointed behind him so Kemba would see where the ball should go, and then screened two defenders out of the play while Tatum rose up for a catch and shoot three. That kind of heady - team oriented - play is going to make him a favorite of teammates and coaches for a long time.Langford was injured all through college, and has been injured his entire pro-career. Seems like that's who he is. Not really durable enough to be a professional - some guys just aren't. Edwards doesn't look like he's ready to contribute this year, I could see him being similar to San Antonio's Bryn Forbes in a season or two. Great college scorer who has to find his NBA niche.

Looks like another one tonight

As long as he (...) continues to try to impact the game in ways other than scoring he'll be fine eventually.
Guy is not an NBA player..oversea future for him
