I think the most amazing thing about edey is despite how huge he is, it all looks effortless, and the superpower is if he's on a team he has high chemistry with like this, he's an amazing passer and the pivot point is so high - - it's like he's passing from a birds eye view. Huge compliment this, but he reminds me of NBA MVP Jokic. The passing is really good already. I can't wait to see him in the NBA. Hope his knees hold well, knock on wood.

[@zyxwut321]

This is not meant to be a backhanded compliment but with NC State, rarely has a team gone further with less talent. The last Final Four team with this level of talent was George Mason University back in 2006. None of their players are NBA prospects, though Burns is a possible NFL prospect and O'Connell is a professional lacrosse prospect (lacrosse athletes can often make excellent basketball players). They simply played well together and with great experience and poise. These are the runs that make the tournament so exciting and unique in sports.
