I'm going to back away...I've been in the hooch. Fk that guy. Sarr or Rishawhatthehellever should be the pick. You can't prove otherwise and you know it too. No one can prove otherwise to me and the reality is, you can't stump someone who has done the research to the level that I've done it for this particular prospect. Tell me who in this draft is better than Edey? You can name names but none have the data. None of them. The stats. None of them. Edey even has the measurements and testing. You can just tell me who you prefer but None of them are as good as Zach Edey. Edited May 20 by NBASupes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one. And I mean no one has Edey close to one. It's a flat out lie to say otherwise. Supes..you my guy but you're killing it with these takes on dude at one. I hope they fire anyone remotely thinking of that dude at one. And I don't even hate the dude. I like him. At 10 and beyond. All I'mma say is hotSupes was just as high on Obi toppin. And fought just as vehemently against all those who opposed him ............. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted May 20 Author Report Share Posted May 20 If we had RAS in basketball. Edey would be in the #1 center since 1980s. Edey 100% height 99% weight 99% wingspan 3 quarters - 78% Lane agility- 97% Shuttle run - 97% Standing Vertical - 30% Max Vertical - 55% You got guys like Ware, Kaman, Dwight, Gortat, Oden, Miles Plumlee, Drummond, and Mason Plumlee, Miles and Mason were the best testers but both lacked measurements in particular, wingspan which knocks them heavily. Drummond and Edey are probably 1 and 2 in the last 25 years. https://www.tankathon.com/players/andre-drummond https://www.tankathon.com/players/zach-edey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shit would sink us. Defensively, it wouldn't be bad though. Offensively, it would be a nightmare. JJ out of position and Sarr playing way before he's ready Offensively would be really bad. Defensively, they just need time. Like a shitactlar flip of Trae and Murray. Offensively, Trae and Murray need time. Defensively, DOA. But those three would be way worse on offense and probably need as much time on D as Trae/Murray needed on O Edited May 20 by NBASupes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post aali34 Posted May 20 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted May 20 I went ahead and watched a couple of Sarr's games to see what some of the complaints are, and here are my observations: - He doesn't screen for shit, there was a few possessions where he made contact, but his first instinct is to occupy the short roll area regardless of what the other team's scheme was. - Doesn't like to muck it up much, likes to float around, but he does look to box out. - Doesn't know where his spots are yet or how to utilize his tools, reminds of Cam in this area. - Was surprised at how much he was moving around the court, you can theoretically run a lot of actions with him due to how light on his feet he is - Solidly locked in, not a super motor but he stays engaged - Makes plays on defense at a pretty consistent rate, but still green He's lucky he'll be sharing minutes with Trae and Jalen, they're gonna make him serviceable on offense while he develops his bag. His NBL teammates are basically like the Clippers without Harden, no vision. He might have the best passing instinct on his team lmao. Also Okongwu will have to start with him, I don't know if he's at the point to play the 5 with Jalen. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 If there was RAS for basketball, Edey would be more similar to D’Vondre Sweat. I talked to Kent about it, and he’s not interested enough in basketball to do a formula for it. He said his give a damn for basketball is lacking.

Gonna have some real gems to read through To be fair to Supes: Edey is easily the best player in college the last two years. There's no one else even close to him IMO. Edey's proven skill sets are more than solid for the NBA. Edey's athletic measurements were WAY better than NBA scouts/execs thought it would be. He tested well beyond what even his biggest supporters thought he would. Add those three things up and Edey is going to be a top 10 pick in the draft. I can tell you and I know the other insiders can as well frankly that the Hawks are in fact very serious about Edey just not at #1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
