You've already thrown multiple personal attacks my way. I'm being pretty lenient.
no you're being a jerk
instead of having initially asked to clarify my statement if you misunderstood it you went into attack mode constantly provoking me, claiming I outright claimed edey IS shaq which is false and have been trying to use this take against me constantly when in reality it was an excellent take
edey is in 81st percentile in EPM thus far and many people said there's no chance he's worth a t5 selection and is basically boban
not only did i share with you recent data about edey's pt/reb production as rookie starter that put him in company of shaq, the reality is that he started popping after taylor jenkins was fired and apparently will be given more freedom in the offense going forward. as someone who started the game late i expect there to still be some developmental success over the next few years for him. he's also a tireless worker.
memphis has asked him to adapt his game to the modern nba and he's doing just that and doing it successfully. it's perhaps not even valid to compare players to players from another era like shaq because the game has changed so much but if edey were playing in that era he'd be at that level and there's still a chance memphis will gradually up his post-up looks over time. the way the refs are calling the game is also different and he's just not getting the whistle but it remains to be seen in a couple years whether or not his FTr can climb to a better spot.
overall edey and shaq 100% come from same player tree but are playing in different eras. it remains to be seen if edey can get his ast-to ratio at about 1:1 but otherwise the rest checks out. we know edey can handle high USG and high volume from being a total ironman at purdue and currently being in the best physical shape of his life.
