Should the Sacramento Kings draft Zach Edey?

Should the Sacramento Kings draft Zach Edey?

let’s get it going get them talking we also have the draft coming up here shortly and the Kings continue to work out players and yesterday amongst other players coming in guy that uh pretty hard to sneak in being that he is 7 foot4 uh Zack Edy was in town working out for your Sacramento Kings the two-time defending NCAA player of the year now to be clear the Kings have worked out I don’t know at least probably 30 40 guys doesn’t mean that you know that this doesn’t mean anything but let’s have some fun for a second what if I almost want them to take Zack Edy because I don’t really know any of these other guys and it’s like the upside with him’s there and you’re drafted number 13 so screw it just go for it whatever but he also might be like uh slightly better simar I don’t know I think he’s a lot better than simar I think you’re right I I I truly think you’re right yeah I mean he had a decorated college career we know that doesn’t always translate into the NBA but I think to me Zack Ed is the classic case I saw some people you know commenting about the Kings having him like oh but how is he going to do in the pick and roll people are just going to set uh you know get him out on the perimeter and try to you know um take advantage maybe of his lack of uh speed side to side I’m like okay again we go right to the negatives right um he’s going to be able to rebound for sure I think he’s gonna be able to protect the paint for sure he’s going to be able to score around the rim for sure so there’s plenty of positives it’s just to me the question is the fit for the Kings um they don’t generally play two bigs together sabonis is going to be primarily on the floor we haven’t seen like sabonis and Len or sabonis and McGee or sabonis and whoever over over the time he’s been here um but could he be a guy behind sabonis then in that case or as time develops maybe he he does become a guy you play uh with sabonis but um I think they really should look at him weigh all the options and see if that’s the best player they believe at 13 the difference in size between Zach Ed and damont sabonis is exactly six inches which is significant which is significant when you it’s significant when you consider uh the difference between let’s see uh Davon Mitchell and uh Harrison Barnes nah that’s eight inches excuse me um it’s a big difference yeah and I am haunted by the fact that I was once told this is over a year ago that the Grand Vision for the Sacramento Kings is that Damonte sabonis is a four that they ultimately want to put him at the four they want to put him at the four and they want to be able to go with a line of Keegan Murray Damonte sabonis and Center X which is why a guy like Edie to me is intriguing which is why when there’s a guy like Clint capella out there I look not necessarily I’m not I’m not pushing this as the right move and I think ultimately if you’re gonna have a five in there with sabonis one of two things has to happen either it has to be a stretch five MH there aren’t a lot of stretch fives out there and and by the way Miles Turner was a stretch five or or or and this is the one I think is probably the more likely is that damont sabonis has to become a stretch four and he has to he has to go Brook Lopez style and if I’m sabonis and if I’m the Kings all summer I’m like don’t work on anything heal your body up get healthy get the bruises to go away all we’re doing is three-pointers that’s all we’re doing we’re just doing threes that’s it because next year you’re 53 pointers or3 whatever it is because if sabonis now all a if sabonis can become a stretch let’s say for example whether Ed or somebody else if you have a true true blue Big Boy Center in there and sabonis becomes a stretch and he can still run the offense obviously it’s probably easier for him to run the offense if he’s a stretch if he’s hitting elbow jumpers and threes all day long that opens up a whole new world for this offense it’s a big if yeah it’s a big if because to me a lot of what this offense has been spacing floor spacing and part of the way you get floor spacing is by literally putting people out on the perimeter and then letting people like dearen take people off the dribble or sabonis with Cutters so that’s the part of the question I I wonder about the fit of Ed I think Edy will come in and play and be fine on whatever team he’s on but does he fit the style of what the team wants or do you tweak it can you have two versions of your offense let’s say hey like Ed’s in we’re going to do it a little differently and those are those are questions that the front office has to weigh and it’s you know look I don’t want to poo poo the number 13 pick a lot of really good players picked at and after 13 it’s not you just want to waste it if Ed’s not the guy Ed’s not the guy but I I do think before okay let me say this before a game is played next year is Zack Edie the most intriguing player in the draft is there a player that next year regardless of where Ed’s drafted is there a player in this draft that you go I want to see I want to see what this guy can do on the floor I mean there’s no one that’s got the hype of like wean Yama from a year ago and even scoot Henderson to that like at this point like they were right really talking about him a lot too we talked earlier about the quote we always pull from the one draft scout that uh Alex SAR and uh you know Rob Dillingham and those guys at the top would be graded out last year at Best in eight to 10 pick that’s how that’s a different draft it’s a different draft and and look obvious the there are overwhelming odds that there will be multiple players in this draft far better than a guy like Zack Ed that’s just the odds I just can’t think of anyone I’m more intrigued by because I truly don’t know with eting I don’t know man I I instinctively I want to say Luca Garza Tyler hansboro Christian leer Cherokee Parks you know Shawn may the list of these NCAA studs that got the same Awards it doesn’t translate on the other hand I’m like 74 with hands 74 with pretty good hand eye coordination and the ability to not just block shots and rebound because he’s a big Goliath but that this guy was scoring and not just scoring and D he wasn’t shacking it Zack Edy had moves yeah and kind of I mean look if we do past Trends fits ammani like he’s been around in college developed as matured and I would say could play day one like if you’re drafting at 13 normally on a normal like pretty high level draft you’re probably trying to find a guy that potentially could be a starter to me at 13 I think the Kings need to be drafting someone this year that’s in the rotation yeah I agree with you Zack e would be in the rot in my opinion would be in don’t you think he’d at least be in the rotation agree with you well he’d start in the rotation he I mean he be a part of the open Rotation yes 100,000% kle we of Indiana 7 Foot Center Jameson Battle of Ohio State 67 power forward Boogie Ellis he another Boogie another Ellis a 61 shooting guard yeah another Ellas uh and Jonathan mogbo uh from South Florida 69ine Power Forward amongst others that also participated in the workout yesterday as well we’ll take a quick one minute break when we come back three for madness uh it’ll be all about uh

Purdue center and two-time NCAA Player of the Year winner Zach Edey worked out for the Sacramento Kings this week.

Carmichael Dave and Jason Ross contemplate the big man’s NBA potential and fit alongside Domantas Sabonis if the Kings were to select him with the 13th pick in next week’s NBA Draft.
