  1. doubt he slips all the way to 31. seems like a guy who will be in the 20s range.

  2. vis-major

    Somebody will pick him before that. If he is available at 31, sure.

  3. iversonAI

    Bronny at 19, golhke at 31. Lebron in free agency. See you at the finals

  4. I’ve seen similar clips of Ben Simmons working on a 3-pt shot as well

  5. Klaytheist

    I doubt he falls to 31 but this video means nothing. NBA players can hit wide open threes in practice.

    He’s having a great combine… really good scores in the lane agility, size measurements are even slightly taller than last year, good vertical for his size (not sure if he gamed it by cheating the standing reach), and a 3-point shot that looks at least developable. If he can pick-and-pop those wide-open, straight-away threes, that’s huge. Not only will he not be there at #31, I’m not sure he’ll be there at #19.

    My man wants to be the first overall pick lol

    Im jk btw… go watch Poeltl predraft shooting video. He was dribbling and pulling up from 3. Most of these big guys can shoot better than fans when they are in an open gym.

  8. Legendhauler

    I think he’s gone before either of our picks.

  9. Baulderdash77

    I think Edey will be gone before our #19 pick to be honest.

    Yves Missi or Kyle Filipowski are more likely picks for us at #19.

  10. bustthelease

    Why not draft 2 Centers. 1X at 19 and 1X at 31. Let 31 develop in the G League.

  11. ExtremeNo1952

    Canadian biased aside, I just don’t see him being a succesful player in this league

  12. TheFestusEzeli

    There is zero chance Edey is at 31 after this combine. He probably won’t be there at 19

  13. UncleNuks

    Offensively he has touch. Defensively nooooo fuckin’ thanks. Did you see him get eaten up in the PnR against UConn (https://youtube.com/shorts/lBXijA5QFMo?si=sxQEouJ6n4G9W6Dn)? Guys are gonna feast in that action over and over. Picture him trying to hedge Shai and then get back to Chet or stepping out on Hali and then losing Turner. He has sooooo much work to do defensively.

    He was able to be serviceable on defence for much of his college career because a) he was so much bigger and stronger than everybody else and b) there’s no 3 in the key rule in the NCAA so he was able to camp out in the paint for the entire shot clock. That shit won’t fly at the next level.

  14. OG_anunoby3

    He’s going to Spurs at 6th overall. Then they will trade him to us for a literal mind blowing Haul.

  15. This subreddit was telling me he’s only worth a late second round pick lmao

  16. Watching Edey play defense will make Jonas look like prime Draymond Green in comparison.

  17. headleydaniels

    Ngl that form does not look like it would develop into a consistent 3pt shot but neither does jokics so…

  18. Vandelay23

    The most talked about player nobody wants to draft.

  19. Slow-Debt-6465

    He won’t be there he’s going in the 19/25 range imo.

  20. TheBusDrivercx

    I just remember him getting absolutely abused last summer vs real NBA players in the bronze medal game. They needed him to play a few minutes and he was just simply unable to do so.

  21. Biggest concern with his game will be health and mobility. He dominated on the college level but he was playing kids not men who are much bigger and stronger. The game is a lot faster at this level and a lot less forgiving on the body with how many games there are.

  22. Massive_Secretary658

    i feel like miami or portland will take him

  23. keeeeener

    Zero chances he’s still there. There’s a decent chances he’s gone by 19.

  24. Glittering-Bank788

    I don’t think edey will ever play in the NBA. He’s slow as hell.

  25. KanyeDeOuest

    Why is everyone sure he’ll be a first round pick? I’d be shocked if he *isn’t* available at 31

  26. Latch2992

    He won’t fall to 31 he’s most likely going top 15 id say!

  27. demarderollins

    At 31 I’d 100% be down. Someone will reach for him though

  28. MassiveTelevision387

    This guy is going to need to install rockets in his shoes if he is gonna be an effective NBA player

  29. IMO teams especially contending ones picking in the teens will be looking for ready prospects even with the lower floors. Edey may not make it to 19.
