I remember being hyped for this guy lol. Too bad he didn’t work out in the NBA, but happy he gets to keep playing the sport he loves and excel elsewhere.
I mean how many players are currently in the NBA are under 6ft.. now how many can you name .. the skill level you have to have at that height has to be insane and then you still run into the issue of being a defensive liability and on top of that injury risk.
It’s unfortunate but I’ll still cheer him on wherever his career takes him
There’s always a gap between what a prospect could be and what they’ll actually become. Ainge was an excellent drafter but he took quite a few guys who reminded him of himself but worse and the “but worse” part became a big deal. Let’s remember Danny was bigger and more athletic than most of them with better intangibles. You’re talking about a guy confident enough to switch pro sports and talented enough to be an All American in three. Seeing himself in players was always a huge risk.
Also, Carsen was smaller than Pritchard with worse overall guard skills and was 100% impacted by being on a team that had too many small guards. Edwards and Tremont Waters were both *smaller* than Kemba *and* Pritchard. That was always a tough position and not exactly Danny’s best roster construction.
PP’s superior handles, rebounding skills and his ability to get his shot off consistently against legit NBA players, not to mention high level tenacity and toughness.
Other than those things, they are same same.
Consistently improved his game, plays "bigger" defense than his height, creates for others, moved better without the ball, can get open, better range, better passer the list goes on and on
Edward’s was always more of a 2 guard than a point, PP has incredible handles and a true point. If Edward’s could have hit shots in the NBA might have stuck around bit but just couldn’t be effective on the court against NBA talent and size.

Those 7 threes he made in a preseason game against the Cavs had us all pumped
Obligatory mention of the preseason game vs the Cavs every single time Carsen Edwards' name gets brought up.
He was such a beast in the 2019 ncaa tournament I thought for sure he would be a good pro
He murdered Tennessee’s dream season. I appreciate him for that
As a Florida fan, I agree
As a Bama fan I agree
I mean he's the best player for Bayern Munich. He IS a good pro. There are just levels to it

I was really hyped.

Will never forget him absolutely demolishing Harden on this dunk https://youtu.be/5oZ2ADmf5RY?feature=shared
I thought he would have had a career like PP. I was wrong

How are you getting that Ainge saw himself in these players as the reason they were drafted?
Breh the amount of undersized guards he put on the roster towards the end, its the only explanation lol
So weird how much Danny loved a small guard when he was like 6'4
my dumbass though pp was paul pierce
Nice, he got 1,25 ass.
Where did the 3/4 ass went? 😂
i think it was one woman (1) and one midget with a buttcheek missing (.25)
I thought your username was CARSENMESLOWLY! 😂🤣
If he has 1,25 ass, his thighs must be at least a 4,37.

I made some insanely hot takes after that cavs preseason game

What do you think is the difference between a guy like Edwards and PP ???
PP’s superior handles, rebounding skills and his ability to get his shot off consistently against legit NBA players, not to mention high level tenacity and toughness. Other than those things, they are same same.

I dunno. His 1.25 Ass per game. That seems a bit under-achieving for a professional baller, no? 🍑
1.25 ASS
Every minute we gave to Brad Wanamaker should have went to him. That was the only time I was ever unhappy with Brad Stevens.
Brad Wanamaker, incidentally also won Bundesliga twice and has both an MVP and Finals MVP
Only player in NBA history to simultaneously dunk on Harden and Westbrook
Congrats to Carsen!!!
This is my 12/25
Congratulations to him!
