Zach Edey Film Session 

Zach Edey is not a bad defender. He moves his feet well and uses his length well. He doesn't switch much, but he holds up pretty well given his size. There are times when he gets out of position and gets beat by the lob, and you can attack him with pick and pop action, but Edey can close out better than I thought, though he is usually conservative with his closeouts to avoid getting attacked off the dribble. He's way more mobile and switchable than the likes of Brook Lopez, who the Bucks were able to build a championship-level defense with, so I don't get how foot speed is going to be such a crippling flaw for him where he's gonna get played off the floor in the playoffs. Yeah, he is going to primarily be a drop coverage big, and a team is going to need to put quality perimeter defenders around him to fight over screens, but that was also true for the Bucks and Nuggets to win their titles with primarily drop coverage bigs. And that's not even counting all the other things he does well offensively and as a rebounder. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't go in the lottery.

This guy is gonna do just fine in the nba.
