Carsen Edwards becomes the newest addition to new Pablo Laso's project at FC Bayern Munich with a one-year deal and completes the team's guard rotation, according to the official information.

"Carsen is a scoring machine, and when he came to Europe, everyone thought, 'Wow, what a fantastic transfer'," recalled coach Laso about Edwards' move to Fenerbahce a year ago. "It will be his second season in Europe, and we are getting a versatile player who can fill various positions. He is creative and very aggressive in offense, strong and quick in defense. We have high expectations for him because he is someone who can hold his ground against anyone."

BasketNews' Donatas Urbonas reported that both sides were close to an agreement on July 11.

Last summer, the 25-year-old Edwards signed a one-year contract with Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and started his overseas career.

In his highest-scoring EuroLeague games last season, Edwards poured in 22 and 19 points in two matches against LDCL ASVEL Villeurbanne.

Overall, he averaged 8.0 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 4.9 PIR per contest while shooting 44.6% from the two-point zone and 34.2% from the three-point range in 34 EuroLeague games.

In the Turkish League, the agile guard registered 13.3 points (50.9% 2P, 33.3% 3P), 2.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.

Prior to Fenerbahce, Edwards played for the Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz's G-League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.

Purdue University standout went 33rd overall in the 2019 NBA Draft when he was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers. His draft rights were traded to the Boston Celtics where Edwards spent two seasons between 2019 and 2021.

The 1.80-meter guard has NBA career averages of 3.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists across 72 duels.
