Boban isn't just tall, he is an absolute gym rat and has a lot of skills. His career PER is 25.3. Yao's was 23, Porzingis's 20.7, Tacko Fall's 18.8, Shawn Bradley's 16. Boban is also ripped and shoots 5% better than Edey on free throws at 76%. He just can't stay on the floor defensively.
Over his career he has taken 3 shots a game and they are almost all within 3 feet of the rim. He’s nowhere near the skilled scorer inside that Edey is and he’s less mobile, which is hard to be. His PER is based on 8 minutes per game and being “ripped” doesn’t matter.
He can pass though.
Boban aside, Edey is big, skilled near the basket but slow footed and lacks a 3 ball. I'm hard-pressed to think of a current starting C that has that mix.
I mean we started Vuc all season lol.
Valanciunas, Poetl.
And I don't see the need to find a direct comparison for him. There's no direct comparison for Giannis or Zion either. That's how true physical outliers tend to work.
