2021 NBA Draft scouting report: Kessler Edwards

Peachtree Hoops continues it’s series of NBA Draft scouting reports, with this edition profiling Kessler Edwards out of Pepperdine.

Currently ranked No. 45 on ESPN’s big board at the time of writing, Pepperdine’s Kessler Edwards represents one of the best values in the draft, to my eyes, with his 3&D skill set and positional versatility at forward. A recent trend in the NBA has been to downsize at the power forward position with 6’8-6’9 shooters who can hold their own defensively, with Jae Crowder, Cam Johnson, and Dorian Finney-Smith serving as good examples.
