Yes, I know the college passing results are not great, but he is also facing double and triple teams and has like 30% usage which is going to go down in the NBA.

Overall, as a big guy he has nice touch and I think the passing will be better with NBA spacing and experience. I don't know how much college ball you watch, but these teams have 3 people in the paint all the time with Edey, so he has it tough. That said, he has to adapt to making faster decisions when he hits the NBA because the doubles will come fast and right now he seems a half beat slow to react.

Why would you want a 7'5" 300lb C to pass the ball out? That's an automatic and1 from 12 feet and in. He's shooting 63% from the field.

Because he will get doubled and you need to know how to pass vs a double team as a centre or it's an auto turnover. The doubles will come from different directions, watch how Nurse exploited JV when he played against us. Doubles coming from different spots every time until he was mercifully substituted.

They're like little gnats swarming him in some of the minutes I've seen. It won't be so bad in the NBA. I think his passing will be fine. Hard to see him playing more minutes than JV for defensive reasons though.

If he's getting 10-12+ fouls a game, it's Shaq rules. Teams don't have enough bigs. Once the C and PF foul out... it's onto the guards.

I hope you're right. I would love an era that returns to big man. I think he'll be limited as a situational big. It's hard to be a big in this era.

Absolutely not. Just renounce Brown and make a big offer to him. See if Chi matches.

I would think about a sign and trade with Brown and including the Indy pick to get it done. He'd be a great fit.

I would do it for the Pacers pick, Bruce Brown, McDaniels and cash. On a more sharing team, I think Williams would be more involved.

The Bulls would take the best PF/C available.

I've brought this up before as a possible trade. Wouldn't be against something like this.

I recall the head to head battle of Reaves vs Cade and Brandon Miller vs GG Jackson; Reaves and Jackson held their own.

Has Knect faced UConn this season vs Castle? Edit: No they haven't met.... yet.

I can see Knect drop to #16 Philadelphia, who would be good with a plug n play wing for a team that would be back in the top 5 in the east next season.

PG Maxey
SG Knect
SF Paul George
PF Reed
C Embiid

Knecht and Reaves have completely different games.
