You saying this reminds me of people that say Edey won't be able to play in the NBA.
He started and was 3rd leading scorer on a playoff team in a competitive professional league. It is obviously untrue that he doesn't know how to play.

We are going to see who was right and who was wrong. I think after a couple years you will be saying something different.

He's 6'11, athletic, and can shoot a basketball. That alone will translate into something.

That isn't enough. Did you watch the entire film session. I did. It is hard to make it through a 1:30 min video, I admit. You can't watch this and come away that he is remotley prepared for the NBA or has any idea how to play.
It's cool if ya'll just want to drink the cool aid. I dont' care. I am just being honest about what I see. If you don't want to watch the film session, watch summer league. Watch his G league games. Watch him if he ever gets in the rotation. You will see. I just already know what is coming, because I watched that 1:30 min video that includes all his offensive possessions. He doesn't know how to play. That isn't going to fly in the league. Teammates will be unhappy with him doing stupid suff in the game, if he ever gets in the game.

I won't be wrong that he knows how to play basketball. That has already been proven by the fact that he was a valuable contributor to a playoff team in a competitive professional league.

Did your watch the video?
He makes bad decisions.

Again you completely ignored that I said that he rapidly improved from the time that video was made to the french playoffs and I even posted a video of a breakdown of said french playoff game and you can see he plays completely different. THE REASON he was drafted #6 is because of his rapid improvement in his age 18 year.
Sure, i’ll post a video of Edey freshman year and laugh at why Memphis drafted him 9

I'm feeling somewhat alarmed Vecenie (who's doesn't speak gospel by any means) tags Salaun as most limited as a ball handler which lowers his ceiling as a shot creator, not to mention connective mover on offense.
Like JT Thor was a black hole the size of MKG when teammates delivered the ball to his hands.
You have to buy the shot big time. It still boggles my mind Bradley Beal shot mediocre in college yet the scouts (except Richard Cho's) just knew he would rip the nets in the pros.
When he takes a 3, who comes to your mind?
I may listen.

He is Oubre 2.0, 1000%
Tsunami Pepe
He has good size but plays like a shooting guard. The best thing he does is hit some 3s like Oubre but you are not really sure if you want him taking some of them.
He is a nonpasser and nondribbler at this stage on the level of Tyrus Thomas. He makes questionable decisions on both sides of the ball like Oubre. He doesn't look like he has good feel on either end. He just has such a long way to go and it doesn't help that his english seems a little limited.

Cmon Bobs the dude can't even stay healthy. He's not thinking about demanding a trade. All this noise about Melo being unhappy is just weird. Kid is smiling having fun with his teammates. When has it actually looked like he was unhappy in Charlotte?
He doesn't want out as far as I know. Wouldn't blame him if he did though.
We have been a terrible franchise for 20 years and it doesn't look like anything is changing. We are doing the same dumb stuff.
