Carsen Edwards lit up the Las Vegas Summer League representing the Boston Celtics, and a major shoe company is rewarding him for it already. Nick DePaula of ESPN is reporting that Adidas and Edwards have agreed on a multi-year shoe deal, which is massive news for the 33rd pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Edwards averaged a smooth 19.4 points on 48% from the field and 47% from 3 over 5 games as the team’s leading scorer. Historically, it’s been rare to see second-round picks garner shoe deals so soon, but maybe that trend is changing.
