Zach EDEY is a Domantis SABONIS type ?create.shoot.protect and polish parts hes a stud.

@WazedNarratives 15 дней назад

Very bad take from nata taking edey and comparing him to boban . Boban wasn’t moving nor dribbling or finishing like edey. Edey is someone who is mixed with zubac with size bigger than embid who can shoot the lights out. Hornets defenitly need a 5 that can score the three and dominate the paint. Because you already have melo getting him easy balls in the paint😊

@Jsimm100 15 дней назад

Yeah Boban is a lazy comparison.

@sneddsnedd 15 дней назад

I kinda hate how game pass still has ads esp during the timeouts let us listen to what they are saying

@outtatime9836 15 дней назад

Edey dropped under 300 for the combine. Thats the insane part. If he can hover around the 280 mark, I believe he becomes the post big to break the nba

Get Edey

@user-vy7pc6ls8i 15 дней назад

Some thought Cody Williams will be at 6th pick, 6'6" with shoes at 6'8". With 7'1 wingspan

@attacksalad2996 15 дней назад

I really doubt rockets or pistons take Castle. It doesn’t fill a need for them and they already have thompson twins. I think spurs are the only threat before us to take castle, but dillingham/topic feels like more likely for them

@3KRacing 15 дней назад

I'm a Spurs fan and Castle is more of a Brian Wright pick than Dillingham or Reed. Spurs typically like bigger guards, 6'4" and taller. Additionally any defensively challenged players typically aren't drafted by the Spurs under Wright so hard pass on Topic. Personally, I think Castle will be drafted at 4 or Matas/Holland. For the Hornets, I think you draft one of the 3, Holland, Matas or Williams

@harlemworld7287 15 дней назад

Spurs remind me of 2k when you run with a team full of lockdown defenders with little shooting and playmaking. But Castle on the Spurs would be fun to watch. I love watching low scoring defensive games. I think Wemby and Topic would be reminiscent of Duncan and Parker. That comb was legendary!

@VaporFox25 15 дней назад

@DB and team, Can we get Rafael Barlowe's take? He was dead on about Brandon last year. Would love to see his input again.

@chadjennings4810 15 дней назад

Love having Nada on! I love his insight.

@lloydfarmer 15 дней назад

Watching Castle reminds me of Marcus Smart. I'd take Marcus Smart on my team.

@Turtlemaster4 15 дней назад

Zach Edey is the best pick imo with lamelo , castle would be nice though as well

@EyeinteeJay 15 дней назад

Whoever has the most Dawg in him is who the Hornets need! Brandon has that in him, we need more w that same intensity. I believe Castle fits perfect.

@sherrodgary3093 15 дней назад

I agree Doug!

@leaderboardsports 15 дней назад

Edey is way bigger than Hansborough.

@scootover7 15 дней назад

I did a mock draft yesterday, and with the injury to Topic I have him dropping all the way to 15th. I didn't know about Cam Whitmore injury until too late, and was shocked he fell as far as he did. While I'm high on Reed Sheppard, I'm leaning towards Stephon Castle as the perfect fit for the Hornets,

@woomington 15 дней назад

finally i see some realistic points being made. Castle and Clingan do not make it past pick 5

@charliesmarts1 15 дней назад

No Short guys. MKG happened. I'm not with taking non shooters. This should be the list... Sarr Castle Clingan Cody W. Rissache Matas I'm happy with any of these at 6.

@scootover7 15 дней назад

I have Clingan going to the Wizards with the 2nd overall pick, this draft is crazy, It's possible that Clingan could fall to the Hornets, but I wouldn't be surprise if the Spurs took him with the 4th pick, to pair him with Wemby, and have Wemby play the 4, Clingan play the 5 and Zach Collins off the bench, Castle is intriguing, I've seen very little of him, the Hornets can use someone to lockdown another team best defender either at the 1,2 or possibly 3 , if you want more offensive pop with some defense, even though he's small I'd take Reed Sheppard

@1user-friendly 15 дней назад

IMO with today's media and analytics Shaq would be a backup center. That's crazy. Edey will be the biggest steal of the draft. Memphis make this happen @ 9

@scootover7 15 дней назад

Edey would fit perfect in OKC, Miami backing up Bam, I don't have Edey going in first round on my mock , I think he could go high in the second round though

@midwestboxing4415 15 дней назад

Edey way better than Boban. Stop the games, If I was a team in Western Conference, I'd draft him.

@Jsimm100 15 дней назад

Exactly 💯

@maddhatt7082 14 дней назад

Pacers have two guys under 6'5", thats McConnell and Nembhard. Both very talented on defense and can get their own shot.

@scootover7 15 дней назад

It would be sad if Inside the NBA was gone, I have friends who don't even like basketball who enjoy it, I showed one of my friends a few of the clips, and he was laughing his ass off, Shaq in the bright white suit, I can't tell if he's going to preach or to sell Chicken, it's one of my favorite segments of all time.

@Sheluvsdro_ 14 дней назад

Who says lamelo is not there? We just gonna assume he ain’t in the facility putting in work?

@oscarreubin5267 15 дней назад

Like Nikola Jokic, Edey will surprise a lot of people. You can't teach size. If Hornets doesn't get Castle. They should take Edey.

@maddhatt7082 14 дней назад

At the 4 maybe. Melo, Miller, Miles, Edey, Williams.

@kevyd6231 15 дней назад

Question for Nata and Doug if he wants to chime in: does Castles recent quotes on wanting to be point guard and not wanting to give up his role for the team for nba give you any pause? The quote seems like he wants the ball alot, I don't see how that's realistic with LaMelo, Brandon and possibly Miles on the team.

@konataedwards8227 15 дней назад

I mean, it should give some pause. But if he’s a top 5 prospect? You pull the trigger regardless

@MrJWhiteBoy 15 дней назад

Trade the pick …. It time to win now 😅

@leaderboardsports 15 дней назад

Yep. Holland = Derozan with better defense but maybe not as clutch

@Austinnlhs 15 дней назад

Am I the only one that sees Knecht as the perfect pick at 6???

@VonzellLuckey 15 дней назад

I'm with you. SEC player of the year. Just like Miller and Grant Willams.

@VanIyke 15 дней назад

I'm one of the few people that's always been high on Edey -- especially over Donovan Clingan (and the draft combine outperformance lends some validation). That said, I don't believe we should take him at six. Rather, Hornets need to move into a 2nd pick in later half of the first round (18 - 21) and take him there. Say what you will, but Clingan is a white Mark Williams (that's good) but twice as prone to injury, an issue Edey doesn't have. Also, Edey is the superior athlete and has better ball handles and touch. A back injury to a big tends to be a recurring thing once it happens for the 1st time. So it's important to have extra backup. Edey & Missi (adding him because Richards has poor rebound rate & is iffy on protecting the rim). Pass on Boma. As dynamic as he is, he's a walking foul magnet. The guy over in Europe, Nnaji, I doubt has made any improvements to his game. If he had, Hornets would've had him over by now or at least we would've heard chatter about an attempt to bring him over ASAP.

Amazing how Centers are today's Running backs of the NBA smh.

@josephwilliford2474 15 дней назад

Yeah, Hornets shouldn't take a shorter pg, that is only considered a shooter. Not talking about Reed, repeating the arguments against Stephen Curry. 😅

@krazytim9050 15 дней назад

Listening to nata feels like there will be 10 players selected before the hornets pick at 6. Also, why stop at putting the sting in greensboro, which is a mere 90 minute drive from charlotte? (wnba fans prefer AT LEAST a 2 hour drive) Let's just put them in Lumberton! Where no minor league baseball games will interfere with their attendance levels! I feel like nata would try to convince me there is no point in going outside today because there is in fact a 70% chance a satellite will fall out of orbit and crush me on the sidewalk, whereby my funeral would then be held at bojangles coliseum.
