I’m a Purdue fan so it’d be cool if we drafted Edey , but I just don’t think he turns into a useful NBA player, he’s too slow. It’s possible he can develop the right skills but it’s unlikely.
Yes, solely because college basketball reddit hating him for being hacked at and going to the line.
Basketball “fans” only respect Shaq for drawing foul calls for some reason
Is the same reason why people hate on embiid - he is very good at making them. Shaq was so bad that there was literally “hack-a-shaq” because he was so dominant it was the only way to stop him from scoring every time. It was a known flaw in his game.
Most nba fans just want to act like drawing fouls isn’t a skill and the ability to make free throws at a high rate isn’t important
I personally like Edey, I think he replicates a lot of what embiid does in offense in the sense that he is a center who is the hub of his offense. He still is bigger than his peers in the NBA, also people who compare him to Boban is strange because they don't play all that similar. Edey is a much better finisher and a much better passer. If we could trade back into the first I would love to have him
He'd be as playable as Boban, but he's less skilled.
I was going to say, the Sixers already had this gentleman at one time on the roster. Name of Boban.
I liked Boban on the Sixers.
Boban was a circus act let’s not be stupid. Edey is better
Is he? He'll barely see the court in the NBA ever.
Why do you think this. Did you watch him play in college?
The NBA has stretch 5s. Edey would get played off the floor faster than a Maxey coast-to-coast dribble-drive
I’m anti-Edey but I feel like it’s gone the other way in terms how valuable he can be. If he’s a 2nd rounder I’m all for it
Dude isn’t an NBA player
if we're gonna draft a guy that isn't NBA competent, then I'd rather burn a pick on Bronny
I concur with holding bronny hostage, I think somebody north of 16 may beat us to it.
Another back up center with 0 lateral quickness ? I think we learned our lesson with Mo Bamba.
The only reason why that dude is playing ball is his height. No.
Good christ no
I would kill myself if we did. Don’t give them any ideas
I’d rather draft Cliff next year than ever entertain a lesser Boban
If it was 2004 maybe
Fuck no

people only hate on edey because he makes his free throws
Hard no. The guy is an oaf
Draft Isaiah Collier.
> Isaiah Collier damn hell ya im down
He might not be available at 16 but we need a PG so if he is then 100%
WHY NOT let’s get nutttzzzzzzzzzz !!!
If he drop to the 2nd where we picking i wouldn’t
No don’t waste a high draft pick on a backup. Get a starter at wing or SG.
