Drafting four rookies wasn’t always the plan. In fact, it was reported several times that the Boston Celtics didn’t intend on keeping their four selections in this years draft, but such is life.
Kyrie Irving and Al Horford left. Anthony Davis was taken off the table in a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers and the plan changed.
Out of all the rookies taken this past June, Carsen Edwards — 33rd overall pick –has perhaps drawn the most attention so far for his explosive shooting ability and small stature.
Throughout the Las Vegas Summer League, Edwards averaged 18 points on 52% shooting from the field and 40% from behind the arc.
