Edey's problem with Scottie is that Scottie needs to run because he can't create well for himself in the half court, and Edey needs the ball walked up the court so that he can get there. It's not an ideal fit. The reason to take Edey is he might translate and be good enough to build a team around, with the second reason he is the BPA at 19 in a draft where there's probably only 10 guys worth remember in 10 years.

I still think Edey will go between 8-15.

I agree. But Edey doesn't need to play more than 24 minutes, they should coexist for 10 at less effi iency.

Edey can become dominant if he gets a 3 in high pick and roll. Paired with Scottie, if he is taught to shoot with a high release he will be a killer like Porzingis++. Then when Scottie is out resting, you put Edey in the low post. Make sure Dick is in his spot, him and IQ could be deadly if they collapse on Edey.

I'd spend the 19th pick without hesitation, in case it may pan out.

Plus I think Edey is almost my neighbour (no I don't know him).

I venture to bet Edey will translate in transition but for limited minutes. Edey would be a backup until Poetl leaves and rightly or wrongly that will be in a yet to be determined timeframe. I definitely think Edey is gone by 19 and there will equal or better drop candidates.

I can’t believe there are people who want 7’4” 300 lb Zach Edey to develop a 3 point shot. Put him in the paint and keep him there.

I'm seeing a lot of Edey buzz on my X timeline. I don't think he will fall to 19.

Edey being available at #19 is not falling IMO

Edey is pegged to be draft around #19 (+ / - a couple picks)

I'd do it, it would help get a better 2025 pick and we could take an upside swing on Williams/Holland or Castle if he fell

If Memphis is moving #9, I'd have to imagine they're going to want get out of the tax in the process as well.

I think #9, Kennard, Clarke & Watanabe for Poeltl, McDaniels works to clear them out of the tax. I don't want to give up any of our picks to make this happen either.

I will put my vote in for Jaylon Tyson at 19. I actually had the chance to watch him in-person back in February at a Washington/Cal game and I knew he was an NBA player the way he carried himself. He really reminds me of Josh Hart the way he can contribute with scoring, defense and rebounding. He was a decent defensive role player at Texas Tech to star who commanded double-teams at Cal.

I think now that he is training at Impact and apparently doing a private workout with Toronto, it is reasonable to see him drafted this early.

Ultimately he can play some back-up PG (he still has a learning curve there), but he can eventually play with the starters in scoring line-ups. He is just going to keep getting better and he is a great team guy whose competitive spirit and good nature will fit well.

You like him better than Tristan De Silva. I'd give the edge to Tristan because he's bigger, If Tyson had more bounce or athletic ability to pop & finish i'd be sold. If he did tho he probably wouldn't be there at 19.

Yuta already is leaving the NBA. Kennard is a team option.

#9, Clarke and Konchar for Poeltl and JFL

I also like Da Silva better than Tyson. I like Da Silva’s shooting touch little better and probably more adapt at being a role player in the league. Bigger like you mentioned as well. I think Tyson is jack of all trades, master of none, without clear NBA skill

Based on who the Raptors are reported to have worked out or scouted I would probably go with Tyson and Ware. Take Ware at 19 and hope Tyson makes it to 31. If not then I'd look at George or Djurisic. George reminds me of Banton but with more advanced shooting ability.

I could definitely see Tyson at 19 and I don't think he will be around at 31. Does anyone see a Dillon Brooks type of player with him? One of the few 2-way players in this draft, that should be efficient with lower usage.

[WuTang_CMB]

If Ware or Edey are on the board, they are taking 1 of them at 19 IMO

Nice to see Ware doing well in interviews. My concern with him was the motor issues but people saying its overblown. Raps worked him out and im sure went out for dinner with him .
Also he has same height / wingspan as Dereck Lively

I watched a lot of Colarado games and I really like DaSilva too, but he is almost strictly a pullup and catch and shoot scorer with some straight line drive capabilities. I would not expect to see him running much in the way of side pick and rolls given his limited burst and stiff handle. Still, I trust him as a volume shooter given his track record.

Tyson has some stronger creation skills. He has some knack on putting defenders on his hip and can elevate at the rim. He isn't super bursty, but he has some craft like a bigger Jalen Brunson. Self-creation is my swing factor. I think Toronto is in desperate need of guys who can get a bucket at the end of a shot clock and I think Tyson in a smaller role will be really impactful.

DaSilva is a nice player for a playoff team that just needs a few minutes of him to stretch the floor. I know people like to think of him as this year's Jaquez, but he isn't that level of athlete.

By the numbers, Tyson outscores, outrebounds, passes the ball more and is probably a more versatile defender, plus he is two years younger than DaSilva. I think DaSilva is probably going to be around at 31 or later.

How are we trading 31, and still drafting at 31 lol

I have really tried hard to get into Ware's game, but he is mostly a prospect who looks good because of his physical stature. It is cool to see huge improvement in year 2, but he is physically a lot bigger than guys in his conference. In the NBA he will be a 215 lbs C who will have some rebounding challenges. He is this year's Noah Clowney with a little worse upside. His defensive awareness is a long way from being NBA ready. I would take a swing at him at 31.

Tyson is probably more of a guard with better self-creation skills which I think Dillon Brooks lacks. Maybe his best comp is Ayo Dosunmu who does a little of everything but is not a master of any one skill. He is a little bigger than Ayo and probably a better shooter, which is why he is worth the pick.
