If Carsen Edwards was a few inches taller, you could make the case that he would be a lottery pick. Nevertheless, at 6-feet tall, Edwards will likely be taken late in the first round. This is where the Celtics could protect from losing both their point guards this offseason.
There’s a chance Kyrie Irving walks in free agency, and that Terry Rozier gets a contract too rich for Boston to match. Edwards is a player that the Celtics could invest in and play behind a player like Marcus Smart.
Again, I’m not sure Edwards is the answer to any team’s problems at the point guard position, but he certainly could help in the time it takes to find it.
