Haters on Edey don't understand or want to understand that he is running an offense that is based on this play style. That doesn't mean this is all he can do. Edey shoots well from the line and at the draft combine he hit multiple 3's in a row with great form. At Purdue he did what the coaches asked of him and clearly excelled. Why I think he has a chance to be good in the NBA is he wont have 3 guys draped on him at all times, he will ALLOWED to be more creative/shoot and the BIGGEST reason is he is unbelievably durable/in shape. I've never heard of a guy this big playing entire games before and he doesn't miss any games. Idc what you say that's mind blowing - he's 7'4 and 300 pounds.

He moves like my 70 ovr MyCareer player from 2k13 who still finishes every game with a A+ teammate grade

Welcome to Memphis Edey...you are grit and grind like us.

Now this is a true Center. Crazy that everyone is saying no one is gonna draft him. It doesn't matter because there are still teams that value the classic center role.

in the pick and roll, Edey surprisingly does not look that slow moving to the basket. His game is essentially all of what Jakob Poeltl is, a 7'+ big who's slow, a good shot blocker, decent rebounder, a floater/push shot and hook(Edey will probably develop these). he also has the height to be able to shoot over guys in the mid range, like Porzingis. He might not be that strong, but being 7'4 he is heavy enough to punish other centers in the paint, catch lobs and maybe some spin moves if he learns. Edey basically has more offensive skill than Gobert(primarily he dunks/catches lobs), and almost as much as Poeltl. Both of these guys are successful defensive big men in the league. Tell me how Edey, who has even more height than both of these guys, and a longer wing span, can't be able to thrive in the NBA. like y'all don't think with an NBA shooting coach he can't develop at least a midrange??

The Heat needs this guy! He will be perfect alongside Bam so Bam can play the 4 where he belongs.

[SpudHippo]

We will miss you Edey. Great player, Purdue is gonna hurt with losing you

[rodneyfrederick]

I think he plays like Tim Duncan he is a old school type of center great player

[norm]

did not know he was Canadian. Canada producing great ballers

[HeyJasson]

Lakers if you get the 17th pick back from NO and this man is there, TAKE HIM

[ProfessorDrex]

Man didn’t start playing until he was 16, could have some serious upside.

[DeepztBlu]

People saying he's only big in the NCAA and will get bodied in the league. They often compare him to Zubac (or heck, 6'9 Tyler Hansborough, lol). C'mon now, Edey is going to be a giant in the NBA as well. He's 7'4 with a 7'11 wingspan. Zubac is 7' with a 7'4 wingspan. That's a massive difference... The only player with similar size with Boban (and if Wemby goes on steroids), but Edey is clearly more coordinated and athletic. People also complaining the league is soft now - well great, even easier for him to take over.

[smokeworldl]

Great feet and nice touch around the basket. Seems like a steal to me

[johnnydenmark]

Hes a full blooded center.. a rarity today... any team with this type of center can become a great team.

Nba has moved way off balance with the centers playing sg, pf, pg.

I hope edey gets drafted and proves the traditional center can function against todays nba.

[martinvalle]

Can’t wait to see him in the NBA. Who ever drafts him is getting a great player

[kelseydortch]

Ja
Bane
GG Jackson
Jackson Jr
Edey

[NEP]

If Rudy Gobert can get a big contract in the NBA, I can guarantee Edey can make an impact.

[kimberlysun]

He does not only play like Yao Ming, he even looks like Yao Ming
