Especially one who is going to have to sit behind Zach ing Collins, because that's how we roll here.
I think Edey would have been a great backup. A change of pace, different look. Save some mileage on Wemby. I said in earlier threads he would be a good value, I didn't understand why Donovan was mocked so much higher than him. But I didn't think he would be taken at 8. So who knows.

Let’s see how he fairs against NBA compe ion before blowing our loads over his SL games tbh. With that said, I do think he’ll have some success in the league. He might be put in a blender on the defensive end, we’ll see how he handles that. But offensively he will definitely contribute imo. He’s too big and too skilled not to.
Yes perish the thought that Edey would have played beside Wama in place of Collins.
We just don't do that.
Edey till now has played 2 Summer league games and had 2 anckle injuries, but do far imho he looked so good...I Will never understand why hes not been considered for so long time a top 10 draft pick (and why, having the chance, didnt draft him with pick 8). Hes big big big, fast enough, can pass and block shots and makes all shots he takes in the paint...frankly what else do you want from abig man?
Ex with another massive fail coming…
Aaah, summer league. Where a couple of good games vs other rookies or NBA wannabees makes you "good as a pro" and a pick you missed.
I'll wait to see him vs. Jokic or Embiid before judging the guy who, like any other rookie, actually still has to play a real pro game
I'm guessing speed on defense might be a problem for him? Mobility and guarding out on the perimeter? Having said that, I was very interested in taking him. Would have loved Donovan Clingan too if Portland didn't take him the pick before. Do you guys think the Spurs would have taken Clingan if he was still there?
We’ll see. I saw Clint Capella, a player a lot quicker, more agile, and more vertical than Edey get played off the floor in the 2019 playoffs, and subsequently get salary dumped for nothing
Pelton analytics favored Zach Edey relatively high for this draft, even with his age, so that was one factor that made me reconsider him.
Would of, could of, SHOULD OF!!!!
We'll see this year, if the Spurs missed out on not picking Edey before the Grizz.
He seems quite mobile tbh. Can see him averaging 15 and 12 with 4 blk
He's significantly faster than Boban in the nba.
And this dude sets some mean screens and when he seals guys get sealed. Boxes out for real also.
He'll make a lot more money as a starter for Memphis than getting screwed around with in San Antonio as a backup getting over himself
His weight loss not only gave him a lot more mobility but it also shows a real dedication and work ethic.
He's going to be good
Is he better than top 10 Poeltl?
he'll be a solid garbage man, that's for sure.
While I hope Castle wins the ROY, Edey has been my pick for some time. I think he will have a superior career to Clingan.
someone took him #9 but im wildin ? lol lots of Crowe to eat in here from all the usual suspects with high post counts not wanting to be heard! Definition of insanity
Edey is pretty unplayable now, but if he further improves his lateral quickness he could be a gem. I like the fact that he managed to correct a lot of his weaknesses in his senior year, as that at ude to learn and improve is the building block of success.
Good young man, huge, got great scoring touch, plays hard on D, he would be an all star, or even a superstar back in the 90s and 00s but the game just moved on so much and his style just doesn’t fit.
Hope to see him further improve. He has the right at ude and seems to be coachable so wishing him the best.
now that we see Edey for sure can't defend or consistently shoot, I expect him to be in a Spurs uniform within 3 years
How, exactly, is he going to do that? He’s worked on it for a solid year, and already dropped the weight he needed to.
they dont watch college basketball..........they get their takes from highlight draft videos commentators
This isn’t the flex you think it should be. Like many of us said would happen, he can’t stay on the court. He’s a foul machine, averaging 7.4 per 36 minutes.
Honestly, probably can’t. I’m sure boban worked on it over the last decade or so but when you can’t you can’t. Still, seems like a good kid so I’m rooting for him.
