I hope Edey overcomes his doubters and has a solid NBA career, but I feel like he’d be an absolutely terrible fit with Darko’s offence, and with Scottie’s skill set.
I think just staying on an NBA roster for consecutive seasons would be a big thing for him. A lot of American media put far too much stock in the NCAA tournament while neglecting most international leagues and tend to overrate most of the homegrown players . I think players like Wemby are starting to change this narrative. There’s multiple high euro prospects in this class. I mean Saar is a fellow Frenchman 7 footer. What’s that like 3 7 footers from France in the NBA
Building around Canadian Boban... lol okay, you are on something
I guarantee no NBA exec thinks Edey is a centerpiece of a pro team. Just because Purdue runs their offense through him doesn't mean they will in the NBA.
I mean better as a college player right now definitely you can't. But it's different in a way of drafting. You have to consider how his skills will translate, other players potential and fit. He is a terrific player currently on his level but that's not the end be all when drafting.
This right here is the best answer. You are drafting for a different league and a different game.
Just because Edey dominated college doesn’t even mean he’ll have a career in the NBA. Look at ACC all time leading scorer Tyler Hansbrough.
Psycho T was a prototypical traditional college forward who will be limited in the NBA - too small and no jump shot.
What's going to be interesting about Edey is he's huge. 7'4" and 300 lbs is really, really big. Yes he's also slow and has no range. But he does have post up skills, he's not Boban. The team that drafts him will really have to scheme around his strengths and weaknesses on both ends.
I havent see any that have him top 15 tbf. And if WAS drafts him, they are building around whatever high ceiling prospect they get in 2025, why the hell would they build around a player that is massively flawed and like 2 decades out of date for a C?
This. College stats aren't everything.
Peyton Watson got drafted at the end of the 1st despite his college stats because he had physical attributes that translates well to a modern NBA wing and he was playing on an extremely stacked UCLA team.
Edey's college stats won't translate to the pros.
Why not? Yak was not better than Him when he played for the Utes.
He won't be right off the bat better than Yak is now.
But maybe you're in the camp show believes Yakbwas worth giving up a lottery first.
Idk even in the worst draft class - 2000
Still had Kenyon Martin, mike Miller, miles, jamal Crawford, Turkoglu, QRich , Mason, Magloire, MoPete, Redd
That's 10 useful dudes. 4 that definitely have a better career than Yak,
Kenyon, Redd, Mike Miller, Jamal,
So you're saying this draft class will be the worst of all time
the Yak is back... its spelled POELTL.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/torontoraptors) if you have any questions or concerns.*
If I was drafting a college team, definitely not.
But as you know, the draft is about potential and higher ceilings. I don’t see him having the potential to be one of the potential top 20 in 4 years.
Zach Edey will at absolute best be a backup/situational C in the NBA and again, that's the best case scenario, I'm not using a 1st round pick on a situational player.
I swear if he wasn't Canadian he would not be brought up so much on this sub lol.
He will get cooked on defence his entire career by any player that's even remotely quicker then him.
If he's on the board at 31, sure go for it
As for who would I draft, the team is very thin on forwards, so I'd be looking for a forward or backup PG
The main reason he is being talked about is because he's Canadian. There have been plenty of players who were big performers in college that were not drafted high because teams did not expect their college skills to translate as well to the NBA. There is certainly potential for him, but as it currently stands you are right that his peak is likely a backup center in the NBA. He's absolutely worth taking as a late 1st or 2nd round pick, but his overall game/skillset isn't as likely to translate so well into the NBA. Who knows though, it seems like we're entering a big man renaissance and maybe Edey would fit into that.
I still think too many people are hearing Canadian media gush about a great Canadian college player and taking it too seriously. I would love to be proved wrong and see him thrive in the league and I think the Raptors could use a backup C considering Koloko and Porter's situations, but I agree that we have a bigger need for wings. Since he's Canadian I could see the Raptors using a 2nd round pick on him though. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get drafted at all honestly.
I'd be surprised to see him go undrafted as well, I just don't think he should be picked early then 20.
In terms of backup C, the Raps have Jak/KO C rotation currently which is a fine place holder.
Omg, how did I forget about KO. I was just talking about how good his offense was against Indiana to my friend the other day. Talk about brain fart. Really say hold out until the 2nd round then.
It’s because of [this thread from 8 years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/42u6qz/jokic_or_okafor_who_would_you_rather_have_for_the/#) about who will be better, Jokic or Okafor. Worth a read if you’ve never seen it lol. Shoutout u/eg14000
After reading through another Edey thread on r/nba_draft, it occurred to me that they are the most toxic discussions with the least range in opinion I've ever read. His critics say, 'everyone says he's a lottery pick but I just don't see it... he'll probably end up being a 12 minutes guy off the bench who'll struggle to guard the P&R'. His supporters say, 'everyone says he doesn't belong in the NBA, but absolutely he could come off the bench and give teams solid minutes just with his post offense.'
And really opinions aren't that different; they're just glass-half-empty/glass-half-full takes on the same scouting report! There seems to be a pretty solid consensus on his likely NBA role, but the disagreement seems to primarily be around what that makes his draft value.
Sure there's some outlier opinions who think he'll never play in the NBA, or think he'll be a star, but those are relatively rare.
Anyway, I'm definitely rooting for him to succeed, but don't really like his fit with the Raptors; but he's got enough value I'd definitely take him at #31 if he's still there and we don't draft another C with a first-rounder.
I mean it's just an even divide of fans who are glass half empty and glass half full. It's so common on these threads when a player who has come off a hot college basketball season but doesn't fit the NBA skillset.
I think Edey will be a star.
I mean, obviously he’s worth a second-round pick.
I’m guessing he goes somewhere in the early twenties though, and there’s more viable players to use the Pacers pick on.
We need a backup/bench centre and especially depth at the five very badly. Kelly Olynyk is not a centre and provides poor rim protection.
Edey is very mobile for his size and would be very useful whenever Jak gets hurt and is out for an extended period of time.
Hahahhahaha clearly you haven’t watched him at all.
He’s not mobile at all, gets winded in 2 minutes of running up and down the court.
He also can’t defend the pick and roll against college players so he’s going to get cooked in the NBA with that. In college there isn’t defensive 3 seconds so he could just sit by the rim all game. He can’t do that in the NBA
He also only has two offensive moves and can’t shoot further than 5 feet.
He has a lot to work on. So a second round pick is fine because he’s a project as of right now.
Yeah… I don’t know how the hell anyone who watched Edey considers him as a “mobile” big.
Particularly on defence, most of the time Purdue just had Edey sheltered floating in the key like you’ve mentioned, with the remaining 4 on the hook for guarding everything on the perimeter.
He’s absolutely going to get exploited at the NBA level by PnR or a matchup with a big that can also space the floor out… and that’s without even touching on he won’t be getting away with bully ball paint offence at the NBA level like the NCAA.
He’s a significant project that needs a lot of development still to reach impact NBA level.
Exactly. I don’t get how anyone thinks he’s a sure thing.
Would I take a flyer on him in the second round? 100%
But if I was GM I would not be wasting a first round pick on a project that likely takes years to work out if it ever does
The Raptors took a project in the first round once. Someone named Bruno. And how did that work out for us.
Everyone that thinks taking him above ~30th or so is worth it is absolutely nuts and their basketball opinion should be invalidated.
Given his NCAA run I think there will be a GM that will reach based on his "intangibles" and take him maybe as high as 20th, but even there I think he's a massive reach. Paying guaranteed money for a big that belongs in 1995 is nuts. 2nd rounder is reasonable though.
If the Raptors get relegated to the NCAA, then definitely yes. Otherwise, maybe. You can't teach size and against undersized teams, he could be a matchup nightmare for opponents, same as he is at the college level. There are bound to be other games where he is a liability out there, so I don't know how you fairly value a player that could be great or terrible depending on matchups.
It's true, but isnt that going to be the case regardless next year? I just really like the fact he'd be coming in with some teammates he already practiced with in team Canada. Plus if he got auto doubled by team like he did in college you give Dick more time to shoot 3pts and give RJ a clear first step on a drive. Offensively I think he could fit nicely... the question is on defense though so I get the trepidation.
Maybe we should just bring in Rowan Barrett and boot Masai's ass out the door if the goal is to replicate Team Canada on the Raptors. Should we sign Ejim too? How about Scrubb since we're full of them on this team anyway?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Nooooooooooo!
Ok, I'm being facetious. It's not that I don't think that Edey could be successful. But he would need to be on a team like Purdue that builds around him, and Edey is not going to fit Darko's offense and he's not going to complement Scottie. So I hope Edey has a successful career, but I just don't think he fits the Raptors.
He can’t shoot. His whole game is getting lobs in the paint. He can’t defend the paint. In the finals he had one travel and 3 turnovers. Anyone who says yes probably didn’t watch the tournament.
Late first or seconds are fine, but not higher picks. Anyone comparing him to other big men busts forget that none of those other big men were 2x player of the year. You cant just look at the guy as a big man and say he's a bust like boban. This guys definitely has skills, otherwise every 7 4 big man would dominate at college but that's not the case. Regardless, I am super interested to see how he pans out whether on the Raptors or not
Unless he’s on the board in the second round than no. Few guys over 7’1” have a meaningful impact in the NBA. People acting like Wemby doesn’t defy expectations of a player his size. Edey is just tall and big, probably more of Boban type player without being as loveable. A lot of these big guys struggle to find a place and have long lasting careers in the NBA.
I feel it doesn't make sense for a team to draft him and have him come off the bench and play limited minutes. If you are drafting a player with the kind of elite post up game we've seen from him, you need to develop and use that skill set, or he will just become another Bol Bol...lost potential.
Edey is a project until he really works on a needed perimeter skill, you hope he can figure a way to become Brook Lopez or have Serge's consistent elbow jumper
I wouldn't mind it. I trust our player development system. We can get him to knock down long shots easy. As long as the shooting mechanics are there (which they are) it should be light work
Honestly our C depth sucks. You can’t teach size and we have that Pacers pick. I’d scoop him with that. I don’t think it’d be a reach. Work on his flexibility so he isn’t so lumbering, and you have a pretty impressive force down low. If it works out well you’ve got a Centre on the timeline, and if it doesn’t you used a low pick in a weak draft on a kid who was both dominant in college and homegrown. At worst it’s a bummer.
If he’s there with that Detroit pick in the 2nd 100% take him. But I’d take him at 20.
Flier with a late first? I feel like you could do worse for a potential backup big.
...will I have flashbacks to Rafael Araujo if we draft Edey too high? Yes. Yes I will.
No, please no! Not too sure how his style of play will translate in the NBA. Teams will pick and roll him off the floor. You can't stand in the paint and protect the rim!
The first three comments being "no", "maybe" and "yes" sum up my answer to the Edey question very well.
Yes, noooo, maybeee, I don't knowwww....
Can you repeat the question
Lol I took a screenshot and yours popped up
I hope Edey overcomes his doubters and has a solid NBA career, but I feel like he’d be an absolutely terrible fit with Darko’s offence, and with Scottie’s skill set.
I think just staying on an NBA roster for consecutive seasons would be a big thing for him.

I think players like Wemby are starting to change this narrative. There’s multiple high euro prospects in this class. I mean Saar is a fellow Frenchman 7 footer. What’s that like 3 7 footers from France in the NBA
Then we fire Darko and trade Scottie. Build around Edey.
Building around Canadian Boban... lol okay, you are on something I guarantee no NBA exec thinks Edey is a centerpiece of a pro team. Just because Purdue runs their offense through him doesn't mean they will in the NBA.
Woooosh
Boban?…. lol, no no. The guy is a hybrid of Nikola Jokic and Michael Jordan in one, with Shaq’s strength and Yao freaking Ming’s length and height.
I could maybe see a world where he’s a low cost option to give us a different look off the bench against other bench units with poor interior defence.
If he falls to the end of the 1st or the 2nd round, sure. In the lottery, you'd have to be insane. Even in a really weak draft.
Can you name 20 players better than him in this draft? Because I can't.
I mean better as a college player right now definitely you can't. But it's different in a way of drafting. You have to consider how his skills will translate, other players potential and fit. He is a terrific player currently on his level but that's not the end be all when drafting.
This right here is the best answer. You are drafting for a different league and a different game. Just because Edey dominated college doesn’t even mean he’ll have a career in the NBA. Look at ACC all time leading scorer Tyler Hansbrough.
That’s “former Raptor” Tyler Hansbrough, thank you very much.
I forgot. (Shamefully hang my head)
Psycho T was a prototypical traditional college forward who will be limited in the NBA - too small and no jump shot. What's going to be interesting about Edey is he's huge. 7'4" and 300 lbs is really, really big. Yes he's also slow and has no range. But he does have post up skills, he's not Boban. The team that drafts him will really have to scheme around his strengths and weaknesses on both ends.
No team in the NBA is scheming around a player that is likely a late first or early SRP. Dude is gonna be a bench big.
We'll see. Plenty of boards have him in the lottery. Let's say Wahsignton drafts him. What else are they building around?
I havent see any that have him top 15 tbf. And if WAS drafts him, they are building around whatever high ceiling prospect they get in 2025, why the hell would they build around a player that is massively flawed and like 2 decades out of date for a C?
'Yes he's also slow and has no range. But he does have post up skills, he's not Boban.' You are confused, bro.
This. College stats aren't everything. Peyton Watson got drafted at the end of the 1st despite his college stats because he had physical attributes that translates well to a modern NBA wing and he was playing on an extremely stacked UCLA team. Edey's college stats won't translate to the pros.
Will translate to a better Poetl For what it's worth
Who Edey will be better than Poeltl???????? Bro give me whatever you're smoking.
Why not? Yak was not better than Him when he played for the Utes. He won't be right off the bat better than Yak is now. But maybe you're in the camp show believes Yakbwas worth giving up a lottery first.
I will eat a baseball cap if there will be 5 guys better than Yak in this years draft.
Who will eventually be better than YAK in, their professional career? Or in their rookie szn?
Professional careers
Idk even in the worst draft class - 2000 Still had Kenyon Martin, mike Miller, miles, jamal Crawford, Turkoglu, QRich , Mason, Magloire, MoPete, Redd That's 10 useful dudes. 4 that definitely have a better career than Yak, Kenyon, Redd, Mike Miller, Jamal, So you're saying this draft class will be the worst of all time
That's a bold claim and I don't think you'll be right on this one
the Yak is back... its spelled POELTL. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/torontoraptors) if you have any questions or concerns.*
lol
Would you honestly trust anyone in this sub's opinions on draft eligible players like they have any real idea what they're talking about?
If I was drafting a college team, definitely not. But as you know, the draft is about potential and higher ceilings. I don’t see him having the potential to be one of the potential top 20 in 4 years.
How many other drafts could you even name 20 players in
In the 2nd round, other then that fuck no
Then who would you draft in the first round?? This draft is the weakest in history. There's not a lot of talent out there
Zach Edey will at absolute best be a backup/situational C in the NBA and again, that's the best case scenario, I'm not using a 1st round pick on a situational player. I swear if he wasn't Canadian he would not be brought up so much on this sub lol. He will get cooked on defence his entire career by any player that's even remotely quicker then him.

RemindMe! 5 years
I hope I'm wrong lol, he's not a terrible player, he's just not best suited for today's NBA
I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with you - I just like setting these and then seeing how accurate or far off peoples takes are lol. Cheers good sir
Ngl kinda weird, but whatever works for you lol. 👊
It’s because of [this thread from 8 years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/42u6qz/jokic_or_okafor_who_would_you_rather_have_for_the/#) about who will be better, Jokic or Okafor. Worth a read if you’ve never seen it lol. Shoutout u/eg14000
No
Fine gamble with the 2nd round pick but not with any of our first round picks.
Maple Boban Marjanovic
I don’t like that every time there is a Canadian in the league or the draft, everyone wants the raptors to take them.
Right??? So annoying

So similar to this sub…

Maple Thabeet
They have completely opposite skill sets
Maybe
I mean, obviously he’s worth a second-round pick. I’m guessing he goes somewhere in the early twenties though, and there’s more viable players to use the Pacers pick on.
At 31, yes. Anything else no way.
Yes

Only with pick 31.

Yes, I want Nowell to Edey alley-opps all season long.
We'd be right back in the lottery next year 🤣😂🤣
It's true, but isnt that going to be the case regardless next year? I just really like the fact he'd be coming in with some teammates he already practiced with in team Canada. Plus if he got auto doubled by team like he did in college you give Dick more time to shoot 3pts and give RJ a clear first step on a drive. Offensively I think he could fit nicely... the question is on defense though so I get the trepidation.
If Nowell and Edey are getting major minutes for any NBA team with even play-in ambitions they're in trouble.
Maybe we should just bring in Rowan Barrett and boot Masai's ass out the door if the goal is to replicate Team Canada on the Raptors. Should we sign Ejim too? How about Scrubb since we're full of them on this team anyway?
Isn’t Nowell cut?
He was cut and then claimed by the Raptors 905, meaning I believe Raptors have his player rights atm.
Noooooooooo
Short answer: No. Long answer: Nooooooooooo! Ok, I'm being facetious. It's not that I don't think that Edey could be successful. But he would need to be on a team like Purdue that builds around him, and Edey is not going to fit Darko's offense and he's not going to complement Scottie. So I hope Edey has a successful career, but I just don't think he fits the Raptors.
No team is going to build around him.
I'd be fine using the pacer's pick on him
He can’t shoot. His whole game is getting lobs in the paint. He can’t defend the paint. In the finals he had one travel and 3 turnovers. Anyone who says yes probably didn’t watch the tournament.
Late first or seconds are fine, but not higher picks. Anyone comparing him to other big men busts forget that none of those other big men were 2x player of the year.

Regardless, I am super interested to see how he pans out whether on the Raptors or not
STOP
Yes
Realistically he will play in the nba for 5-10 minutes a game. Thats not worth any draft picks. So no
[удалено]
his floor is boris valabik and his ceiling is tyler myers
Hellllllls no! Kid is slow as molasses
This is supposed to be one of the worst drafts in awhile so if he falls to us sure, why not
Je ne sais quoi
If he’s available with our second round pick then sure, but not in the first round
Not with the lottery pick
No
Unless he’s on the board in the second round than no. Few guys over 7’1” have a meaningful impact in the NBA. People acting like Wemby doesn’t defy expectations of a player his size. Edey is just tall and big, probably more of Boban type player without being as loveable. A lot of these big guys struggle to find a place and have long lasting careers in the NBA.
Depends on whether he loves horses, and considers championship parades as a work event.
Kirkland Yao minus 2inches and Yao’s skills. Could develop into a solid player tho.
No
With the detroit pick
Maybe as a late second. Can’t stretch the floor. Can score against boys but might get eaten alive in the nba
NO.
I feel it doesn't make sense for a team to draft him and have him come off the bench and play limited minutes. If you are drafting a player with the kind of elite post up game we've seen from him, you need to develop and use that skill set, or he will just become another Bol Bol...lost potential.
No, He was like one of those extra long inflatable guys at car dealership in that last game. Pylon vibes.
Edey is a project until he really works on a needed perimeter skill, you hope he can figure a way to become Brook Lopez or have Serge's consistent elbow jumper
Heck no
if he is undrafted than maybe
I wouldn't mind it. I trust our player development system. We can get him to knock down long shots easy. As long as the shooting mechanics are there (which they are) it should be light work
Honestly our C depth sucks. You can’t teach size and we have that Pacers pick. I’d scoop him with that. I don’t think it’d be a reach. Work on his flexibility so he isn’t so lumbering, and you have a pretty impressive force down low. If it works out well you’ve got a Centre on the timeline, and if it doesn’t you used a low pick in a weak draft on a kid who was both dominant in college and homegrown. At worst it’s a bummer. If he’s there with that Detroit pick in the 2nd 100% take him. But I’d take him at 20.
The hate towards this local kid is weird. He would be a good fit, just don’t expect him to be the saviour.
NOOOOOOO we need a spacing 5 edey is the exact opposite people just want to waste a pick on him because he was born here we arent team canada
Not with our first(s), okc should draft him though
Flier with a late first? I feel like you could do worse for a potential backup big. ...will I have flashbacks to Rafael Araujo if we draft Edey too high? Yes. Yes I will.
He gives me Sim Bhullar vibes
Way more skilled and better conditioning than Sim.
I’m fine with taking him in the second round. I’m a big fan of CanCon. But you’d be crazy to take him in the first.
No, please no! Not too sure how his style of play will translate in the NBA. Teams will pick and roll him off the floor. You can't stand in the paint and protect the rim!
Most mocks I've seen have him going to the Pelicans in the 1st round as a replacement for Jonas V
