Edwards has looked sharp in the Celtics’ first two Summer League games. The Purdue product had 20 points and three steals in Boston’s opening win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Edwards followed that up by posting 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
He’s a bit undersized, but Edwards is a great scorer, boasting NBA range while also showcasing an ability to get to the rim with ease off the dribble. He’ll likely provide Boston’s backcourt with some solid depth for the foreseeable future.
The Celtics look to go 3-0 in summer league play when they take on the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET.
