All throughout the career of former Boston Celtics great Isaiah Thomas, the biggest criticism has been something he has never been able to control. His height. Standing at only 5′ 9″, scouts around the league doubted Thomas’ ability to make a serious impact on the court, which is why the point guard was taken with the final pick in the 2011 NBA draft.
As for Edwards, watching him play in the Summer League, even former NBA players have questioned why the guard out of Purdue did not go in the lottery. Former Celtic Kendrick Perkins chimed in on Twitter during a Summer League game with his option on Edwards.
