Draft is a success. I love this guy. A little iffy on the rest of the draft but this rocks.

Absolutely dominant at Purdue. Carried them the whole Tourney. 24 PPG. Great pick.

As a fan base who loved IT everyone will love this guy, especially at the cost of a 2nd rounder:

Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Another guy who gets to the rim...Our FT rate is going up by 2000 % if our rookies get playing time...

The big question is, with his size, can he actually replicate that in the NBA? That short guy the Cavs drafted few years ago - the one they used to compare to IT - was like Edwards in college but couldn't cut in the NBA.

Really? Undersized PG, bad on D, iffy court vision and more turnovers than assists?

What does he do well other than shoot?

So Danny has drafted a short Horford and a tall IT?

Broke Steph Curry's Tournament scoring record. Force of nature. A rocked out Isaiah Thomas can moonlight as a 3rd down back for the Pats.

Honestly I would have been fine with him at 14. I really love this player he may have won me money multiple times.

Been wanting Carsen Edwards for months.

I watched all the Purdue games because of him.
He is 6’0, but built like Van Fleet. Also has a 6’6 wing span.

He broke the record for most 3s made in tournament history, breaking Curry’s record. No one can shoot like Curry, but Edwards has Curry type range.

I’m not going to over hype this pick because I don’t want to jinx it but let’s say I’m pleased with this pick :)

I really like this pick. Carsen was totally awesome in the NCAA playoffs. Even though they lost to Virginia in OT... he didn't quit. Made 10 of 19 three point shots for a total of 42 points. Very relentless... the kind of guy you want on your champion team.
