An anxious Kessler Edwards sat on his couch in his living room in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., on July 29, 2021 at 5 p.m.
It was the night of the NBA Draft, where the lives of 60 basketball players would be changed forever. Multiple mock-drafts had Edwards drafted as a second-round pick.
With his eyes glued to the TV and family and friends surrounding him, Edwards said the excitement in the room built once he saw his name on the next 10 possible draft picks available.
“I remember when the second round started, I got a little nervous,” Edwards said. “And then I found out like right before my name was called that I’m going to be picked by the [Brooklyn] Nets. So, it was kind of crazy.”
