How would Zach Edey fit with the Lakers?

Should the Los Angeles Lakers draft Zach Edey at No. 17 in the 2024 NBA Draft? How would he fit alongside Anthony Davis in two-big lineups?
I discussed this with Lakers/NBA draft expert Mike Garcia on Episode 34 of Buha's Block.

Edey will replace what we lost in Zubac. Still mad Magic traded him.

[@Antonio-er1gu]

Me too for nothing 🥜 😭

[@michaelslaughter54]

I’d take him. He’s a dominant inside presence. He destroyed the kid from UConn.

[@Digital_Snowflake]

I'd be happy with Zach Edey. We will see what happens on draft night.

[@kingkro2252]

He going to be a star

[@houdininova]

He's way better than Boban. That's a terrible comparison

[@CFRacle]

What’s your comp? There’s not really a player of his size and skill set (or lack there of)

[@PouonoHB]

They said Zubac is his comp too

[@Halfricanmj24]

@@CFRaclezubac with more shooting upside

[@CFRacle]

@@Halfricanmj24 what he’s shown in terms of shooting is the equivalent of what Ben Simmons has shown every off season. I wouldn’t rely on him having a shot, nor do I think he needs to shoot considering he’s 7’5. I think Zubac is a good ceiling for him

[@AvMil]

Good he’s 7’3 or 7’4 we could use him a lot hope he still available when it’s our time to pick

[@houdininova]

He's 7'4" And 7'6" with shoes. Everyone in NBA lies about height. So he'll be 7 to 10 inches taller than everyone guarding him

[@mrvxg4820]

A floor of Boban with a ceiling of Rik Smits seems like a fair comp.

[@michaelslaughter54]

Not even close. Edey is a dominant inside presence.

[@luisdejesus1836]

Boban buha buha puerto rico in the house love your coments

[@JBay05]

That intro never gets old 😂 JOVAN BUHAAAA! BUHAAA!

[@gecarlowood3412]

Move up if we have too!

[@dreamdevelopmentproduction8548]

Can we really get edey though?!

[@stevewise1656]

The Lakers drafted this guy a while back named Zubac that totally fit what this team has needed for years now. I remember, they gave him away for nothing to the Clippers.

[@rubikino7569]

Same Way Brooks Lopez Was Ready to Resign With The Lakers For Peanuts / Because He Wanted to Stay in LA

[@stevewise1656]

@@rubikino7569 Absolutely! Can you imagine that fit over since 2019?

[@jamesmurray34]

Just like most college centers does he have the foot speed to defend in space 3:09

[@sukrull381]

Def better than Boban ppl don't realise he is an all round Athelete ..Played Baseball /Hockey good cordination... a solid 300 lbs and a hard worker ..Teams might regret passing on Zach! He was in the top 5 in 3pointers in the combine !!! He never had to shoot the 3rs in NCAA !

[@williammontano7863]

Yes. Please.😊

[@ThePrivateryan]

The most questionable thing about Rik Smits were his knee high black socks! 😂 Kidding.

[@lakergang]

I think the Lakers should trade back in the draft from #17. They can trade with the Knicks who have 24 & 25 or trade with the Bucks who have 23 & 33. And with either trade, id try and get D.Holmes and R.Dunn. 2 great role players who can produce for the lakers and will for sure get playing time

[@antoniothomas6280]

Whatever James want the Lakers will give it to him. Zach edey will be a Laker tonight 👍🏆🏆

[@Antonio-er1gu]

No way he drops to us

[@TheKasaan110]

I hope they don’t draft him. He is way too slow for the nba

[@chadillac1127]

To be fair, Jokic and Luka have been called slow as well. And just to be clear I’m not a fan of either of those players and also hope the Lakers take someone more athletic.

[@Hotsauceonmy]

@@chadillac1127thisguy is no where near those guys skill level

[@chadillac1127]

@@Hotsauceonmy right, we’re just focusing on the “slow” part and how it’s not really a valid point. I would agree with you.

[@Blazin50s]

If we’re not building around him we should not draft him. We need a roleplayer. I’m not interested in Boban and Zubac either.

[@SunnyDarkness]

fastbreak keeps Zach Edey off the court

[@edgewoodaldridge]

Edey is a terrible idea for the Lakers. This has Hasheem Thabeet written all over it

[@tiffanyraglin8544]

Too slow gonna get hunted on d

[@higher1441]

Nope, he’s going top 5 in the draft.

[@mrc302]

Slow and mechanical. 🤖

[@LavxbesdolpA]

Jokic and Luka??

[@gregpollard7158]

Edey is not a Good Fit for US!!!

[@howru2055]

AD and lebron can turn him into Yao Ming
