Re: Zach Edey, 7-4
Why was his TOV% so low?

Doesn't put the ball on the floor much, low risk passes mostly, cut offensive fouls down. Think of him as the analytics center.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

No, I agree with you.
I was pushing back on the idea that he "can't hold onto the ball".
He's rarely off-balance (in the same way your fridge doesn't tip over) and he hardly dribbles (something like 80%+ of his shots come off of 1 dribble or less).
He had an extremely low turnover rate given he had 30%+ usage.

Because Purdue is willing to take the time to pass the ball around the perimeter until Edey establishes deep position. There isn't that kind of time in the NBA, it's harder to establish position because of the wider lane, and players are way more disruptive at jumping passing lanes. Edey also already shuts down his own teams drives when he is in the lane, so again, you have to be willing to commit to building your system around his strengths and weaknesses for him to be effective.

Re: Zach Edey, 7-4
Always astonishes me how people can watch the NBA playoffs and then think a dude like this won't be run off the court.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Re: Zach Edey, 7-4
He is a generational talent that is going to multiple all star games barring injury. Zach Edey is one of the two best prospects in this draft.
He gives you elite scoring efficency and volume with dominant rebounding and very good rim protection.
Lots of guys have trouble guarding the pick and roll. Luka is a terrible defender, it doesn't matter, if you are really really good at other things a player can still be a star.

Re: Zach Edey, 7-4
Purdue plays a similar hedging style that Denver uses with Jokic, requires the right lineup though. Pace of NBA may be an issue. College shot clock is only 6 seconds longer, I don't see him getting position as a problem, if anything it will be easier in NBA. These 6'9 240 lb centers won't impede him at all.
Only extended minutes with Edey off ball with PnR quality guard was at FIBA U19 and they almost beat USA. Averaged 7 offensive rebounds in that tournament and that was 2 years ago.

Re: Zach Edey, 7-4
I think if Zubac can be a starter for a playoff team than Edey should be a quality back up somewhere. I think his calling card will be rim protection. He'll need to keep his weight down and avoid lower extremity injuries. I don't think he plays below 300 and will get a signficant injury that affects his mobility so there's that.
He'll basically look like this vs NBA athletes. Try to hedge players his way if you have poor perimeter defense. I think he has nice touch with both hands to help out his offensive output.

I mean, simply not being any worse end to end than Brooke Lopez and Gobert is something.

I hope he’s available when the magic make their 2nd round pick. I’ve been on the Edey bandwagon since last season.

He looks a step behind in most of that video. Chet looks easily more NBA. I think Edey can be a bench player in the NBA, but I his upload speed and download speed look ca. 2004.

He’s going to help a team a lot.
Would love him on my Bulls.

why so they can have two seven foot stiffs that will get exposed by teams on the defensive end?

Drew Timme vs Zach Edey vs Oscar Tshiebwe
3 quality rotation bigs with huge holes in their games. I feel all 3 are at minimum 15 minute rotation players of some kind, maybe 5-10 minutes for Timme.

Edey will be much like Whiteside but better. He will be elite rebounder and rim protector. I can see teams playing zone with him in the middle

Might change my mind but right now I have Edey going to the Clippers at 30.
