Man, I think Zach Edey is going to still be pretty good in the NBA. Even if he’s slow, he’s big, strong and skilled. Some team will get a sleeper with him as people focus on his weaknesses instead of how good his strengths could be.

i'm 50/50 on Edey....i could see him like another tacko fall just any potential just killed by lack of mobility and lack of range....on the other hand zach is way more mobile than tacko imo, but does he have some range? can he defend in space and not be exposed? it's intriguing because just his size and his strong base? he can bully players day 1....on the right team and the right role? i can see him working in the league

I mean, put him on the Spurs for Twin Towers 2.0. Wemby can cover space and Edey can fill space.
Edey looks as mobile as Goga to me, so I think he’ll have enough speed to get by, but he’ll have weaknesses. He just seems to have the head to either figure them out or figure out a workaround.

I don't think we're keeping our pick personally.

I personally don't think you have considered the impact of what saying this means.
You need to be more considerate. Cash considerate.

True true. I just meant as a priority. but... i loved what i was seeing. Defensive capability.... with shooting.... and a lob threat still..... that facilitates the ball as well?!?!? JJJ with passing.... I'm down!

I can see his NBA draft stock go up if he declared!
He is perfect for what we need as a front court help.

We havent been exactly in this situation before.
2 raw rookies and being lead by 3 guys still in rookie contracts plus the core vets ( JI Moe Fultz WCJ Gary ) all under 30... big cap space...
And the most important is... we are ready for the next step. That means we cant get any younger.
So yeah, im with him. Im ok playing out of the draft this time.

i'm not ready to say "can't"....we shouldn't be afraid of young talent.....plus as i take a look around the landscape, unless some star gets disgruntled with their situation the only guys available are players not quite aligned with our timeline or players old enough to be in ring chase mode....realistically we are still fairly early in the rebuild, it feels accelerated because we hit on players in the draft but make no mistake it's still early and we are quite literally still figuring things out...I feel like we're going to do what we always have done per se....that first rounder is probably going to used, but that second is probably punted...
Who we use it on? there is so many ways we can go depending on decisions made on certain players....Should Gary and Kelle be brought back? My take is both of those guys recently have shown they're not dependable....we should go for a veteran guard, we need a steady hand who's dependable....We could use some SF depth....What are we doing with Dell/Goga? should we upgrade the Center position? it's going to be an interesting off-season and depending on what happens some people are going to be pissed....like for example me, if Gary and Kelle are brought back....if they're brought back that tells me the Front office is not interested in winning, They just want good vibes....chemistry.....family.....

Terrence Shannon Jr seems like one of those guys the Thunder/Heat take in the late teens and the rest of the league is wondering how the hell that happened..
For that reason we should take him
He looks ready to be a rotation guy day 1 - could be our backup 3 right off the bat

Anyone watching the sweet16 games?
Yeah i think im gonna drop Clinigan from my wishlist. Even in college he looks slow.. probably same speed as Eddey but not his offensive dominance. If college guys can run rings around him, i shudder in the nba.

Markelle Fultz lol
Don't we have two first round picks in 2025 draft? Along with Franz Wagner/Mo Wagner should be enough to get Cooper!
