im higher on Edey then I ever thought I'd be.

He might b a gamble worth taking

His athletic scores at the combine made me feel even better about him. Rare size and more nimble than 99% of players whove been that big.

His size is unmatched currently. Roughly the same length as Wemby, packed into a 290 lb frame.

Who is the mystery player that teams want to jump into the top five for? Is it Castle? Feels like its him.

Bryant might just opt out and Robinson is on a non guaranteed that might not be picked up.

I don't see many scenarios where Edey starts his rookie year unless Bam is hurt. The spacing issues will likely ensure this until Edey can hit his 3s in game. He's a mature player tho, so I could see him being the back up center over Love. Maybe Love moves to back up 4. I would also prefer to keep Highsmith and let Bryant opt out.
