C - HT: 7’3” - WING: 7’10” - WT: 310 - A: 22

- Huge center who is an elite rim protector and post scorer
- One of the best NCAA players of all-time
- Great post game but has great touch with his long floater, giving the floor more space
- Good connective passer
- He’s gotten way lighter on his feet this year, and with this giant wingspan has been way better contesting perimeter shots - could be the swing skill he needs to stick
- A 1 of 1 with his giant size and weight. Would be the heaviest player in the NBA. Makes smaller centers look like wings.
- Will need to scale down his usage and remain efficient and involved at the next level, focusing less on scoring and more on role player attributes (rim pro, screening, passing)
- Older prospect. His recent improvement is amazing but he is more of a finished product than young 18/19yo prospects. A contending team should pick him over Yang or Clingan
- Shades of Joel Embiid, Brook Lopez without the range, Jakob Poeltl but huge
- Best fits: OKC, POR, TOR, IND, SAC

"Petit" Yao Ming car Edey lui ressemble en tous points mais lui rend environ 5cm. La question étant est-ce que ce profil peut encore prospérer dans la NBA actuelle ? Oui, répondront ceux qui se fient au retour sur le devant de la scène de pivots dominants. Non, pour ceux qui voient surtout des joueurs capables de s'écarter chez Embiid, Wemby et consorts. En tout cas, Edey prétend savoir shooter à 3pts prétextant que ce n'était simplement pas son rôle à Purdue.

GSW position: C

Highs: can defend the paint, get rebounds, can create his own shot in the post

Lows: he’s not versatile (a traditional big man), big risk on taking him, has to add more to his game

Strengths:

Big

Great Post Game

Solid Passer

Good Finisher

Terrific Defender

Very Strong

Weaknesses:

Older

Slow

Player Comparisons: Joel Embiid

What else is there to say?

My biggest question with Edey is the defensive footwork. If he can develop some good lateral movement, even if it means sacrificing a bit of the weight, we've seen what 7'4"+ CAN do defensively.

Offensively he won't be able to dominate like he did in college, I don't think. He does have a nice touch, and as a whole I think he'll be able to get his points.

If Zach Edey can move up and down the floor at an NBA pace, he can be an absolute problem.

Ceiling: GOAT conversations Floor: 7'4" Charlotee Frank Kaminsky Comparison: 2015 Euro Cup Boban Marjanovic

Favorite Fits:

1. New York Knicks

2. Philadelphia 76ers

3. Orlando Magic

Pros: One of the best collage players ever-top 10 foreshore. 7,4 and not skinny. Has a beautiful right hook and it has lots of range due to height. Draws fouls like no other-great free throw shooter. Just so dominant in the paint. Paint D is also Great with his blocks.

Cons: A little slow. No 3 ball. Game could defiantly fail to translate.

Range: Top 10 maybe-Late 1st. Age: Old Aura: 8/10 Board Magnet, Bruiser, Paint Can, DOG, Bucket, Leadership, Clutch

Notes: This guy is an all time college great and March helped him a lot but theirs no telling how good the game will translate.
