If Donovan Klingan can make 10 midrange jump shots a game . you got yourself a good starter. The 3 point shot is a very overrated part of basketball because a basketball player has to develop the rest of his game.
I really think there's so much group think when it comes to NBA scouting. Picking this guy feels like a no brainer. Most of what you hear about Edey is that he's not a fit in the modern NBA. Well, his style worked and was preferred in the past b/c dumping it into a big man that can score is an efficient way of playing basketball also. Similar efficiency to high percentage three point shooting floor spacers. That so many teams now are trying to achieve the "modern NBA" three point floor spacing game means they're vulnerable down low to a 7'4" big man that can move and shoot like Edey. NBA teams haven't been building their roster to deal with an old school big man style of game, they've been building their rosters to deal with the modern style of NBA players. This guy is going to feast if he ends up in the right spot.
In college you're always playing in a crowded congested lane. It'll be interesting to see how the spacing in the nba allows his game to open up. He's solid in the post even now. If ge can make face up jump shots, not necessarily threes, he'll be a very good player.
Please Memphis don’t listen to experts they are wrong more than not. Look at this man’s drive and upside, you will want to fire the gm if he goes to another team and becomes another great center.
