Maybe an Ersan Ilyasova with better handles? I guess DaSilva is the senior version of Johnny Furphy if he reached his full potential in college, 3 years later.

What if Cody Williams, Tristan DaSilva and KJ Simpson were drafted?

Really though, he looks like Pascal that can shoot 40% 3-pointers. He looks more advanced than Pascal coming into the league I would be fine taking him with the Pacers pick. It would be like how Utah replaced Gobert with Walker Kessler plus 1st picks.

He'd be a great pick at 31 if he makes it. A very Darko type player. Great shooter, smart cutter, connective passer, high bball IQ. He checks a lot of boxes even of he's not a star.

I think he'd be taken in the early 20's. Knicks at #21 and #22 shouldn't let him past them. He would be much needed depth behind OG and Randle.

I would draft him like Jaquez and Podz being drafted around #18,19 in a decent draft.

Reed, DaSilva and Chomche would add potential shooting to all positions.

Edey/Boilermakers playing in Detroit and it is like a home game. No doubt Canadians love him. He would be larger than life in Toronto.

I think his form is pretty good but dude shot 46/28/75% from the line in his last 11 with his 3PT% heavily bringing down his FG%

Interesting that he had a 58TS% on the year regardless

Still think he'd be the primary target if we stay at 6 and its between him Cody, and Matas

I think some posters are setting themselves up for disappointment with Edey. He doesn’t at all seem like a Darko kind of guy. If we’re committed to Darko’s vision than I can’t see the fit. I wouldn’t be shocked to see the raps pick dalton knecht as high as 6 though. Movement shooter to spread the floor around Scottie. Seems like a Darko guy. He’s older and doesn’t play defence but him and Gradey spreading the floor would be insane.

Knecht is just a great three point shooter. So many exist in the NBA and this Knecht guy can't even score from other spots.

I think what Edey does is give this team a halfcourt offense and creates gravity we don't have. Purdue shoots 40% from three. Who stops a Scottie - Edey pick and roll?

^^Knecht looked pretty good today. He doesn't have mid range? He showed the ability to take it to the hoop tonight. 6th seems high but I doubt he's there at the Pacers pick.

6 is way too high but he won’t be there at 17. He wouldn’t be my choice at 6, I just mean it wouldn’t surprise me.

Edey missed like 30 seconds of the game. The guy is a warrior. He looked gassed on his freethrows. If he wins a title what does it do to his draft stock? Lotto?

I'm guessing Duke wins then we get to see Edey vs Filipowski.

I think the highest Edey would go is Atlanta at #18. Would New Orleans take him at #14 with the Laker pick? OKC takes one of Clingan, Filipowski and Edey?

The skinny French version went first last year.

I would love to see DJ Burns and Edey. Return of the big man. The ultimate will be Kling Kong and Edey in the finals.

He looks like the Kurgan to me.

McCain already with 11 points on 2-2 from three.
