Re: 2024 NBA DRAFT THREAD 2
One thing I’ll say about Edey that I’ve noticed is he doesn’t seem to have a heavy base. Although he gets a lot of rebounds it seems like he’s moved by smaller guys easier than he should be. I’ve seen a couple possessions in this second half alone where opponents have gotten offensive rebounds that they shouldn’t even think about trying to get to with Edey there.
I’ve also seen the same thing on offense. I don’t think anyone should be able to hold their position in the post against Edey, but a lot seem to do decently enough whether or not he scores.
With all that said, I’m in on Edey as an NBA guy. I just worry that if guys with NCAA strength can hold their own against him NBA guys won’t have any issues.

Castle might be a guy. I like most of the tape I’ve seen of him so far reminds me of Jrue a little

In my opinion he’s the type of guy that could be a guy who is selected from 5-10 that ends up being the best player in the class right off the bat.

Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Edey learning the sky hook would be special. I wish someone big really tried to add possibly the most unstoppable move in NBA history to their arsenal.

Proctor been disappointing this season, just not providing enough.

That Osobor guy is pretty strong himself. 6 foot 8 and 250 pounds. Dude is a tank.

The thing is, those guys are a dime a dozen in the NBA.

At 6 foot 8 though? But I hear what you're saying. When I checked the top heaviest it had 13 guys at 270+. I was surprised to see Nurkic listed as first with 290.

Filipowski invisible. McCain proving to be the better Duke prospect as I expected.

It would be a score for a team to get McCain and Filipowski in the draft to play together.

Yeah, I just worry that Edey’s centre of gravity isn’t ideal.

He's on pace for over 16 pts 8 reb 4 assists 4 steals and 2 blocks and he's "invisible". Sure.
