He gets to the line more than Shaq, and shoots 71%.
But in this timeline he's supposedly a second rounder.

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.

Since you’re comparing him to Shaq lol who played in a different era and was easily more athletic…does that mean you think Edey will be an all time great, top 5 C in the league or what level are you expecting him to be at?

My summary of the article and with Edey in general is that he is a great but deeply flawed player. He cannot come out of the paint and is susceptible to floaters and will have issues with pick and roll. He is a non-jumpshooter who is around 70% from the freethrow line which doesn't exactly make you think he has another leap in him as a shooter.
The most damning thing is that over his entire career he has a negative assist-to-turnover ratio. When you watch him pass they are usually quick, short-range hits to cutters, no kick outs to corners, no probing options.
He does come in with elite size and strength and a simple but effective post game. I was surprised to find out he is only 21 - so he has a lot of time to further develop. I am very curious about how good it will be for him in the NBA with spacing - maybe too unstoppable even for Wemby.
I think if we end up with three picks there is zero chance Toronto will pass on him with that Indy pick.
What I think is ultimately it is a benefit to have an Edey because it is an arms race in the NBA. Joel Embiid, Jokic are the past two MVPs, and now we have Wemby. You need size to compete for a title, so Edey as a dominant big will help change the dynamic for Toronto. At worst I think he is going to be Jonas Valancuinas level of impact, which is going to at least create a credible bench threat.
The problem is our style of play currently, just doesn't fit him. If we dumped Darko ball for more of grinding Thibs ball, we would have something.

You''ll have a hard time finding five players better.

determines if his game translates to the NBA as a starter, really. if teams just PnR him to death and the team doesn't have enough defenders (with offensive capabilities) to cover his weaknesses - he ain't going to flourish.

It's the non-French name holding him back.

All may have better pro careers than Edey but Edey has the highest floor of this list.

If we are dead set on a center with the lottery pick I would go with Sarr or develop Salaun into a big. The draft looks bad and picking based on position will just land up a scrub.

I think the scouts who are evaluating him, have never seen a player like him with their own eyes.

Maybe so but now if you don’t mind answering the question of how good you would estimate he might be??

The Knicks should take him with #21 or 22. Sarr, Clingan, Filipowski, then Ware and Edey. Edey needs a right situation to be a starter.
