Carsen headed overseas
- Thread starter SCBoiler1
- Start date
Hopefully, if Carsen has a good year overseas, that he will get another shot for the NBA.
I would say that it is a good chance it is only Ivey. With Moore missing the whole season last year with his knee, there is a good chance he could be done with his age. Trevion is on the Warriors, which is probably the NBA's most loaded team right now. Mathias with 76ers is probably a long shot too.
With respect to Carsen its kind of how I thought this would play out. He gave it a try to get back into the league going the gleague route. I could be wrong, but I dont think he'll play in the NBA again. That being said, barring injury, he should be able to make millions overseas.

Williams isn’t expected to make golden states roster. But by being on their team, some other team will notice him just like golden st noticed him
Playing for Boston. It’s still possible but not probable .
Boston signed some journeyman yesterday to fill their needs. It appears more teams are signing more older, experienced players who have little proven talent than the younger players out of college. Tre has a lot more talent and a lot more to offer than some of the latest signings I am seeing. I wish him well in finding the right fit.
Boston signed Noah Vonleh, the former lotto pick. He's only 26 years old and had an 8+ ppg and 7+ rpg season with the Knicks in 57 starts a few years ago. He has been an underperforming but high-talent player in the NBA. Last year in the top China league he was very good from 3 pt land.
Vonleh is arguably far more talented than Trevion WIlliams. Trevion Williams will likely have two choices, both of which are very attractive choices:
1) Go overseas and make six figures, but be away from possible NBA attention.
2) Go to the G League and do really, really well defensively and show some ability to consistently hit from NBA three range in games, get a 10 day deal at some point, and impress enough during the ten day deal to carve out an NBA career of some type.
A comparable? Juwan Morgan from IU was undrafted but a really solid locker room guy. He did well in the G League and parlayed it into an NBA roster spot for most of the last two seasons. He was a 4/5 in college but knew he would never be in the post in the league, so he developed a solid NBA three point stroke.

The G-League route is high risk, high reward. The risk is injury before the player has gotten the chance to create some financial stability. Also, there's the downside of giving up a year or two of prime earnings to see whether they can crack an NBA roster and become pension eligible.
Interestingly enough an NBA player needs three years in the league to be pension eligible (baseball is only one game). One game in three separate NBA seasons and you’re in with health benefits starting age 50, and for at least $57k annually and up to $195k annually.
So Carsen Edwards is already set at the low end; so is Juwan Morgan, even though both Edwards and Morgan had less than five NBA appearances last year.

I was impressed with the passion of the fans I met when in Italy. Carsen could be a real fan favorite. There are worse places to live than Europe if you have the money to do so.
Still think he would have helped himself to stay for another year at Purdue. Would have made for an interesting year for sure.
Yeah Carsen leaving early has been brought up numerous times on this board. CE is the epitome of striking while the iron is hot. Im not sure how anyone could possibly doubt his decision.
Unless he was going to grow a other 5" that year he gad nothing to gain.
NBA executives love a shiny object - Donte DiVincenzo is a prime example. Role player at best on Villanova and goes on a wild run in the tourney and gets drafted 17th.
I think Isaac Haas is playing for a Chinese team [Beijing Royal Fighters] that is in the Chinese Basketball Association.
