Cut him.   Another Danny Ainge draft failure.
ha ha ha ha, i get it. you are making believe that picking someone in the second round of nba draft and not having that player work out is sign of poor drafting. after all, all those other GMs ace their picks in the second round time and time again.  ::)

Some college three point shooters who hit their shots at only an average or above average rate, simply don't translate to the farther out three point line and the speed with which defenders close out on them. His shooting woes have nothing to with his size, it's just he wasn't a great three point shooter in college at a closer ranged shot and he can't adjust to the NBA game.

Fultz isn't the comparison. R.J. Hunter is. Edwards game just doesn't translate to NBA success, much like Hunter. I doubt Edwards finishes this year in Boston.

Edwards seemed to take a ton of NBA distance 3's in college.  I like the Hunter comparison though.  I guess the moral of the story is if you are drafting a one dimensional player to be a shooter, you better make sure he's a great shooter or else you are probably wasting your time.

He might at times need to play with Tatum, Brown or anyone who plays isolation and draw defenses to them to give him open looks. He needs his teammates to create for him. If he makes his shots, I guess it could get him going and build on his confidence. His other problem is when he's holding the ball, he mostly tries to find a way to take a shot (which most of us know that it would only get deflected or blocked by anyone near him) instead of trying to create plays like hitting the open teammate.
