WATCH: Kemba Walker, Carsen Edwards drain 3-point shots

It took a little bit longer than some may have expected, but Kemba Walker has made his first bucket as a member of the Boston Celtics.

Just under five minutes into the first quarter of the game, Walker pulled up from behind the arc to take a 3-point shot. It went in and was a near-perfect swish.

It's safe to assume that Walker will be making many more of these types of buckets during the course of his four-year deal with the Celtics.

Walker wasn't the only Celtics point guard to make his first three as a Celtic on Sunday night. Rookie second-round draft pick Carsen Edwards also made sure his first basket in green-and-white was a 3-pointer.

It certainly seems that the Celtics backcourt is in good hands with these two scorers. We'll see how quickly they can become the floor generals for the Celtics and replace the departed Kyrie Irving and Terry Rozier.
