Centre or center? 🤔
Are you a Zach Edey believer?
The Raptors getting Zach Edey would be amazing. Canadian basketball players are going to be more likely to WANT to play for the Raptors, and are more likely to WANT to stay. Peace, Calvin.
We thinking outside the box this summer. Edey + Bronny! ❤😂
slower than slow mo, no thx
slower than slow mo, no thx
I like Edey but I'd rather Alex Sarr if possible
Fuck no, Zach Edey's is mobility is a huge flaw, he's gonna get cooked lol. If we somehow land #1, Alex Sarr but the realistically if land the 5th or 6th I'd like Kyle Filipowski – scoring big that can stretch out to 3. We need more spacing so why not have a big that can stretch and leave the lanes open.
Let's be a real.. Edey is another Boban lol
Edey is no 6 th pick. Liability is why raptors must tank. very silly this is second round maybe 26 th pick
I dunno about drafting Edey with our top 6 pick. Defensively there’s some big questions about his ability to stay on the floor at NBA level. Also in the NBA today a lot of big men now can shoot the 3 so he can’t just camp out in the key like he can in the college game that doesn’t have any 3 seconds rule. Imagine Edey guarding Wemby around the 3 point line 🥶🥶 he’s going to put him in a blender. I just get Shawn Bradley vibes from Edey. Shawn Bradley was big like Edey, (7’6) dominated in high school, went to college and was hyped up as the center or all center’s to the point he was drafted 2nd in the draft. Once he got to the NBA the speed of the game ate him up and he was just known as the guy everybody wanted to put on a pastor. That was literally what he was known for in the NBA. While he was huge he was just too slow.
@8:11 you said that Zach Edey is 6'4" lol
NBA gonna give our lottery pick to the Spurs so they can build around Wemby even more. They def not letting Raps get another top 4 pick. I really think Silver just gon fuck us over
jsus crist! why edey? he's blessed with height but thats it! raptors should just get the best talent available as a trading chip for a useful center
When was last time lottery pick wasn't one and done in NCAA?
Undrafted level player 2023 but lottery pick in 2024? IDK about that…
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Toronto native play for Raptors….
Raptors please trade up on draft day 🙏🏾
Yall have to realize that edey is everything to perdue so he doesnt run hard down the floor to conserve energy and doesnt contest at shots to stay on the floor. He will be used far more aggressively in the nba
The potential edey has outways his current flaws to me which is clearly his weight and his mobility to guard perimeter player. If he cuts down the weight like 20 pounds he can be very viable on the defensive end
Edey yes…in 2nd round
