I don’t care, I love this pick. Low risk, high reward. Everyone keeps talking about this being a weak draft, and we take a big swing. What more do you want?

I’m not a big fan but I trust Kleimnan. I don’t really like anyone in this class though so it’s not like there was an obvious miss on someone else. Ware has no motor and Holmes might end up being a another tweener like X or BC or JJK or Santi. We have too many of that archetype

Yall should trade him to the raptors for Jakub Poeltl, dudes nice and would act like a Steven Adam’s for you guys

I was a huge Clingan guy but at 9 in this weak of a class and with a massive need at center I will take Edey. He is a question mark sure but he is a high risk high reward pick I mean just having him on the court makes us a defensive juggernaut and he’ll help with rebounding issues as well.

How disappointing

Great risk for the pick. We have no path to a true big without mortgaging the future. If the Grizz can get positive +/- and 10 rebs for 20-22 mins this season and let JJJ close out at the 5, it’s a win given the situation.

The only college players to be 7’1″ and score over 750 points in a college season are Wilt, Kareem, David Robinson, Shaq, and Zach Edey. The only players to win multiple unanimous NPOYs are Bill Walton, Ralph Sampson, and Zach Edey. Big men who came to basketball in their teens and became college stars after playing another sport in their youth include Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Zach Edey. There are no serious Edey comps who’ve come into the league in the past 20 years. Boban only had one year in Europe in which he played more than 20 mpg, so he’s never really had the stamina to play big minutes. We might not know exactly if a player like Edey will work in today’s NBA, but we also don’t know if it won’t work either, and the scenarios in which it does work are pretty appealing.

Edey’s game will compliment JJJ very well
