Boston Celtics: Carsen Edwards player comparison

Though he may have fallen to the second round of this past June’s draft, Boston Celtics’ rookie Carsen Edwards has managed to capture the attention of both fans and players alike.

During this year’s Las Vegas Summer League the combo guard played as good as anyone participating in the tournament as, per 36 minutes, he put up a whopping 29.8 points per game while shooting 46.7% from deep and netted a true shooting percentage of 64.3%. With his level of play, the 21-year-old earned himself a four year, $4.5 million guaranteed contract with the Celtics.
