thanks for two smart and wise TV commentator!!! NBA professional teams can not figure out Zach Edey, something is wrong!

[@GG-si7fw]

Zach reminds me of Rick Smits, who played for Indian Pacers.

[@alanadrienne8870]

The perfect fit is the Denver Nuggets. He literally just fits in seamlessly. They have all the young developing shooting and ball handling he needs to be successful on offense. Defensively he will learn spacing and timing from Jokic, the Art of shotblocking from Jordan and have time to not be rushed in due to Zeek. There future second unit of PWat, Strather, Braun, Tyson and Zack would run second units to rags

[@hansgordy]

He's a great college player... but he plays stiff and doesn't have a good jump shot. He's very competitive and has a great attitude. He'll be a good role player in the nba... possibily a 6th or 7th man. I wish him well... and good luck this weekend.

[@YeIIowNBA]

Look up “Zach Edey pro day workout highlights” He can most definitely shoot, but Purdue doesn’t need him to stretch out the floor like that

[@hansgordy]

@@YeIIowNBA ... that's good. He should have used it this year. He's one dimensional right now.

[@YeIIowNBA]

@@hansgordy They don’t need him to stretch the floor x2 That isn’t his role. Basketball players have roles. No that many people can contain Edey in the paint, so there’s 0 reason for him to play that role of a stretch big. It’s like saying if shaq could shoot, he shouldn’t be in the paint, it’s where he’s most dominant. Purdue shoots #1 in 3PT% in the country, no reason for him to be shooting when everyone else on the floor can.

[@hansgordy]

@@YeIIowNBA ... you make a good point... but I've watched Purdue a lot. There's been many times where he could have turned and shot the medium to short jumper. Better than 3s. That would have opened up the paint even more. I can't argue with Purdue's success. They're a good team... but not great. Edey should be more dominant than he has been.

[@Jajsnsjsn]

@@hansgordyhe the most dominant ncaa player this year

[@user-zx1iy6cp3c]

Zack will b hulk in the nba because he so strong and smart! He is very athletic and quick! He has great skill making other players and people jealous and they only put him down! Lady and gentlemen, please b honest and b nice to Zack the incredible hulk!

[@Clarkthefaceofwnba]

Passing up on Zack Edy is just like passing up on Shaq with a shot at the free throw line

[@liamconverse8950]

No honestly Shaq could do a lot of things that Edey doesn't do

[@Jajsnsjsn]

@@liamconverse8950like

[@SuperJay12jay]

@@liamconverse8950 Shaq can't shoot and eats a lot more fatty guy.

[@DougC83]

this comp is an insult to shaq😂

[@user-gz6gl5lt5v]

as where his game has shines in March madness I would be surprised to see him out of the top 10 ... I think he's gonna end up being the steals of the draft he works hard in the NBA he will lose a lot of weight and add speed he started a playing basketball late he will eventually learn the 3 like embiid did

[@CHARLESJOHNSON-gv7zy]

ZACH EDEY#15 CAN BE A PRODUCTIVE NBA 🏀 PLAYER ..

[@Clarkthefaceofwnba]

A star

[@ZeroG]

The Blazers should draft him, but they won't.

[@SuperJay12jay]

Edey #1 all the way! Next Yao Ming HOF! Rare to see 7'4" 300 pounds baller!

[@tkamel18]

His defense will be a problem in the nba. Can’t recover and isn’t quick enough…UConn abused him on that end

[@TimMeeks-nk1nr]

Orlando magic lets goo

[@oaklandtraphouse]

If he was European he would

[@joseph1150]

Dragging Purdue kicking and screaming through the whole tourney is a legendary achievement. The college has always been on a mission to botch games when it counts the most, no matter the sport lol. This is coming from a WL native.

[@qwerty4126]

Please stop. Edey is a 10 minute player at best in the NBA. Suggesting he's anything other than that sets this very impressive young man up as a bust in the eyes of team that takes him in the draft.

[@vietnam1978]

Bet that’s what they thought about him out of high school as well

[@seanibbott4791]

Let's come back in five years.

[@Zepp710]

While I agree it's unlikely he will be a major contributor in the NBA, the wild card here is that he's still getting better so who knows. His shot mechanics are not terrible and he's smart so if he develops he could be alright

[@qwerty4126]

@vietnam1978 if you think the jump from high school to college is the slightest bit comparable to the jump from college to NBA...I don't know what to tell you.

[@forthelasttimeforever1169]

He's not going high. He'll be in the second round 31 pic. K he can't shoot the ball, he doesn't barely move.

[@tray22]

His proday in 2023 says otherwise. He was hitting from mid and 3pt ranges and his times were right with KDs. He needs an NBA team that will help develop his skills more but I think he will surprise a lot of people in the NBA.

[@Clarkthefaceofwnba]

Could Shaq shoot?

[@tray22]

@Oscar_Robertson Not to save his life lol.

[@Clarkthefaceofwnba]

@@tray22 😭

[@vietnam1978]

Funny how the best player “barely moves “

[@dylanlieck]

Zach Edey shouldn’t even be drafted

[@CharlestonWhite12]

Gilbert Arenas went viral 😭😭😭

[@CharlestonWhite12]

Wemby will destroy Zach 😂😂😂

[@Atleastafewyards]

Don’t think that was the point at all

[@tray22]

They are very different types of players. Wemby destroys nearly everyone he goes against also.

[@iliekspoorts]

Braindead argument

​@@tray22Victor Win is a power forward not a center

@Oscar_Robertson That was my point ty. 🤣
