Speak now :D :lol:


He's a 1st rounder...and if anything he will probably play up more in our SIM than real life.

I didn't think this guy would be available at 11, and initially I was much lower on him, but after taking a second look at the guys I was considering, I feel like he has the most upside and a pretty good chance of reaching that upside.

I always remembered how Wiseman helped you that first year...I was plotting on Edey for that reason before
I did the JJJ-Lively deal...

Edey has actually gotten faster and progressed every year. Not sure how much of a challenge the NBA game will be for him
but based on his jorney so far - if given the opportunity-I think hes up for it...

regardless, my curiosity is looking forward to what his ratings will be...

There are some really nice options right now that I’d love to take a stab at. I’m holding out hope one of them is on the board for me at 18

I am guessing that he will be valued much higher in the BAF sim than the actual NBA, so the higher pick is justified.

yeah there are rookies they certainly get juiced and he could be one if they go off some of his college metrics.

Reposting one last time :D
This may interest a particular type of GM...He can shoot in the NBA...shot 37% in his rookie season last year...check him out:
You can have him for free today or for a second tomorrow :lol:

EXEMPT LIST- Sasha Vezenkov- $1/3 years

EuroLeague MVP (2023)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandar_Vezenkov
""While Sasha Vezenkov remains frustrated with the lack of playing time in his first NBA season with the Sacramento Kings, I’m told by several sources that there is no truth to the report of his desire to leave the NBA. One source close to Vezenkov called the report “off base” and that he will honor his contract."

"I’ve also been told the Kings want to keep him, but there’s also a market for him. Sacramento or perhaps another team that offers a larger rotational role remains to be seen.""
