Edey is an incredible talent with a high work ethic and character. A rare commodity in the World today.
Edey is still developing. Each year at Purdue he’s gotten considerably better. He’s smart. He’s coachable. He just scored 37 against the best team in College. There is an NBA team out there that can use him.
Zach will be fine. He is improving. He is playing for what his coach tells him to do. He can definitely be trained.
Bro dropped 40 and 10 on the best college basketball team I’ve ever seen. It’s not even a question
Best college team you’ve ever seen?
I've only watched the finals game, Purdue's gameplan was just to stuff the ball to Edey inside. Most of his opponents are 6-8 inches shorter than him, outweighed by at least 40 kgs. That would change in the NBA.
What drives the analytics is efficiency. This guy has an extremely efficient game it just goes against the current trendy form of efficiency. Which means is his form of efficiency is counter to how all other NBA teams have been constructing their roster to compete. So, they won't be built to handle his game. My prediction, this guy is going to feast in the NBA, most underrated prospect for sure.
His work ethnic and intelligence will get him to the top.
All I know is there is always room on my team for a 3-pt sharpshooter and a 7'4 dominating center. Gee which one is Edey.. theres plenty of 6'6 - 6'8 guys but none of them can push a 7'4 out of the paint or drive on one let alone a dominating player of the year guy.
All the 13 year olds who n RUclips and ticktock disagree with you Jay!!! Also the internet coaches / experts as well.
When he gets to the NBA, they will give him instruction in positioning,shooting, defense, screening. He will be a good player.
Grizzlies GM exclusively listened to Bilas 😂
If Edey could turn over his right shoulder, he wouldve had 50 last night and Purdue wouldve won. I don't understand why he never used a drop step.
Purdue wouldn't have won, regardless, but you're right about Edey not going to his right shoulder enough.
@@OsirisNin Maybe me saying Purdue wouldve won was a stretch. lol
He outplayed Clingan by a large margin, but he has all season. The only play I remember him going right in that game, he rolled under the defender and got an easy layup. One thing a lot of people don't realize is that Edey had decent 3/4 court times and was hitting mid range as well as 3s in the pro tryout. His 3/4 court times were nearly identical to KDs so he isn't as slow as he seems.
If they would have called the 7 goal tends on Clingan & traveling on Newton every time he dribbled & called a technical & thrown Dan Hurley out of the game for being on the court & pushing a player while the game was in progress, Purdue would have won.
@DannyNoonan74 Purdue fans are better than this. We lost fair and square. Hurley is a jackass and should stay off the court and shouldn't run his mouth to opponents' players, but that didn't cost us the game. He is a good coach but is disrespectful to the game.
Miami Heat draft Zach Edey. They need him and size.
He brings it every game…every practice
Let me spell it out for y’all. Compare Zach Edey to Trayce Jackson-Davis who went late in the 2nd round last year. Zach Edey has a standing reach of 9’ 7.5”, Trayce has 8’10”. But Trayce jumps seven inches higher than Edey both standing and max, so total Trayce gives up just 2.5 inches vertically, with both jumping. But Trayce has way faster lane agility and 3/4 court speed scores than Zach has. So Trayce is way more suited for the modern NBA, and despite this, he was the 57th pick…
Correct. All the things TJD does that makes him good in the league, Edey can do none of that.
What Edey can do is dominate trayce in the post.
@@EJ_7715 last time TJD played Edey he had 10 and 8 while Edey had 26 and 16
@@cam8868 how is that relevant?
@@EJ_7715 how is it relevant to compare the two in the first place. I was comparing the last time they went against each other. They are completely different players with different skill sets to offer
He’ll be awesome in the NBA & have a great Fan Following especially this Grandmother from Massachusetts!! So glad I watched the College NCAA Tournament!!
Why not structure loan deals like in international soccer/football especially for players developed by mid majors…
Zach Edey to Nuggets. Double coverage on the Joker and he just dumps it to Edey.
Hey Jay... on a recent broadcast your announcing partner said that the next games will be played in the nation's capitol. You replied by saying that you thought it was going to be in Washington, D.C. What did you mean by that?
Edey #1 pick
Size will always be valuable even without agility. Ivica Zubac is giving hella meaningful minutes against Dallas in a playoff series playing exactly like edey.
The age detractors don’t make sense when the guy has only played basketball for what 6-7 years?
Your just a hate and don’t understand basketball if you disagree
Maybe the nuggets could draft him as a backup for Jokic.
God I hope he doesn't have a long career. 3 seconds might actually get called against him in the NBA. If it is then he won't last long. Him and Purdue were unwatchable.
I'm rooting for Zach but Jay Bilas is no expert when it comes to the draft.
Jeremy Lin rated #7 on 1st round wasn't even drafted. Zach might go undrafted too LMAO
I mean he not a Psychic...😂
I think he is too slow for the nba.
0 shot. Did he watch the championship game?
He should be the top pick at 1
Lots of big men can have long careers… might not average double digit minutes but it happens
I’m a longtime UConn fan. love having Clingan and feel his game is no where suited to the modern NBA. Same issues as Edey. If it were 1976, both would be locks. But the game is vastly different. I see both guys getting some PT next year in G League and probably saying to themselves “where am I?
“
Clingan needs to stay a year and work on things. Edey has no choice.
Edey could stay another year because of Covid. He’s choosing to go, probably because he’s tired of the hate and is ready to prove himself.
I doubt it
Edey doesn't do anything that is gonna keep him in the league.
Time to interview casuals now? “As long as he stays healthy…” yeah, name a 7’ plus 300lb player who stayed healthy? He is too slow and no range on his shot. Show me a 35% shot from three and we can talk about a longer career. Edey going to be a traffic cone on defense, not much of a plus on offense. Bol Bol with slower foot speed and not as good a shot.
Like Bilas alot, but disagree completely here. Edey is slow and unathletic. He will be pick and rolled to death and will be a 100% liability on defense, and is one dimensional on offense. Zero jumpshot and played against smaller competition his whole career. He will wind up in China league like Takko Fall after he gets whichever NBA GM that drafts him fired.
He's fundamentally sound, and is at least as good as guys like Brook Lopez, Zubac or Kevon Looney. Not a star, but a role player who needs to go to the right team. Like the Spurs or Knicks perhaps. With the Spurs, he could be Wemby's backup and bodyguard. Definitely an improvement over Zach Collins!
I'm telling you that Zach can shoot from mid range and can run but it was just the way that Purdue ran their Offense and it would have been nice if he did that some during the season but people don't know that cause they don't get to see practice!
@@garyspence2128 Nah. His ceiling is Zubac.
@@Michael-gu5klEven Ben Simmons can hit 3s in practices.
Zach can shoot from outside, Painter just coached him to score in the paint. He has a soft touch. He made a three pointer in a game at Mackey Arena!
