Carsen Edwards
School: Purdue
Position: PG/SG
Age: 21
Height: 6-foot-0.25
Weight: 199.4
Wingspan: 6-foot-6
Draft Range: 20 to 40
Combine Results? Yes (https://stats.nba.com/draft/combine-anthro/)
Why: Three-point bomber: shot 18 threes per 100 possessions. Can create his own threes off the dribble. An expert at using screens to get open; moves very well without the ball. Good ball-handler. Short (5-foot-10.75 without shoes) but his wingspan allows him to play a little bit bigger. Puts up points in bunches and has a history of hitting clutch shots.
Why Not: Not a real point guard -- poor passer, limited court vision, limited awareness. Unlikely he'll be able to finish among the trees in the NBA due to lack of size or athleticism. Three-point percentage at Purdue not overly impressive (36.8%). Doubtful that he'll ever be anything other than a liability on defense.
Spurs Fit: A year in Austin to work on his point guard skills would be helpful. The eventual Patty Mills replacement would be his obvious role going forward.
Spurs Comparison - Ceiling: Patty Mills
Spurs Comparison - Floor: Cory Alexander
