Zach Edey’s draft range is from Nos. 9-19, per @DraftExpress (espn.com/nba/insider/st…). The Grizzlies, Jazz, Bulls, Thunder, Trail Blazers, Heat, Lakers and Raptors are all interested. It seems very likely Edey goes in the top-20, but could become a lottery lock after private workouts.

At the end of the day, Miami has been linked to him for quite a while now, and perhaps they think he and Bam can be a frontcourt that can work. Our FO could think Jimmy can replicate his 3-point shooting from last season – 41% on 2 attempted 3’s where he honestly wasn’t bad from the corner, and for Bam to continue to do his work around the mid-range area while Edey roams around the painted area.

I personally don’t see it and wouldn’t agree with the pick, but it isn’t shocking to believe if our FO sees him as someone who has good touch for a big man around the rim and an NBA-ready player. We shall see, but if he’s available I wouldn’t be surprised if we pick him as our 15th pick.
