Carsen Edwards – Boston Celtics

The guard had quite a season for the Purdue Boilermakers this past season, dropping 24 points per game. He also possessed with the power of unicorns in the NCAA Tournament where he broke the record for most three-pointers made in the entire tournament.

A second-round pick by the Celtics, Edwards will be a sneakily fun player to use in NBA 2K20 and carries a balanced style of play. Yes, he’s known for his streaky scoring, but it also a solid defender as well, and can get some swipes during games.

Similar to White, this can lead to some juicy fastbreak opportunities. Be prepared to snatch the rock and pop a three at the other end.

Pick Pocket and Limitless Range could potentially be the key badges for Edwards and that’s a deadly combination. Don’t be shocked if he also receives the Microwave badge, which can fill up his Takeover meter in a hurry.

Put him on the floor at the same time with Fall, and you may have a dynamic duo off the bench with two guys who can score in their own ways. Fall can get the inside looks while Edwards can step outside and knock down consecutive triples.

On top of all of this, he can create his own shot as well. The March Madness legend may be a steal from the draft, and he’ll undoubtedly be a joy to use in NBA 2K20.
