Zach Edey Is Unlike ANYONE in the 2024 NBA Draft! [+ Teams Who Should Pick the 7’4” BEAST] 

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." -John 14:6

that coordination and work ethic alone for that height is nba ready.

Lakers need this guy.👍

Edey has to find a way to play defense the same way Lopez does in Milwaukee. Means deep drop with high BB-IQ and never get isolated on the perimeter. If he will ever develop a shot like Lopez, not sure. But it sure as hell would also help.

Edey would pair great with Wemby, the one guy who would make him look bad, Edey with Wemby would make it impossible to score in the paint on the Spurs.

Teams in the NBA like the Thunder, Heat, Wizards, Grizzles, Hawks, Spurs, Warriors should draft Zach Edey that need a big man to compete.......

Glad to see someone else see how Wemby and Edey may be able to make something special. That's the combo I'd love to see and both being young...could be force for many years if it worked.

In this draft, i definitely take Edey if i have a pick from 15. The guy is a mountain and he has great touch. And he is not quite as slow as advertized. I think the offense will more than balance the defense.

He would be scary on Spurs and Celtics

Looking forward seeing this Center in a Miami Heat uniform. 🤔

Edie should go in the top 8. Just have him lift weights to get his deltoids stronger. He will solve problems in rebounding, blocked shots, scoring and setting picks. All that and he is 7-4 and 300lbs. keep him down low. EVERYbody doesn't need to shoot 3's!! Give me a break. This guy should go in the top 4. Some sharp team will see this and grab him early. He is not Wemby...and he doesn't have to be. The Spurs should pick him up at number 8 if he is still there. Just watch!! THE LAKERS WOULD LOVE TO GET THIS GUY!!!! !!!

spurs and OKC. Put Edey on center and it would allow Wemby or Chet to slide to F spot and create, defensively Edey anchors the middle and be the physical guy, and which allows Wemby or Chet better coverage from helpside defense. Theres no indication that Edey develops into a Gobert but if he gets something close while allowing others to shine hes in a good spot.

Spurs should get Edey with their 1st pick if he is available. Edey won't suffer a hack-a-shack method as his free throws % are above 70.

He is a late bloomer in basketball compared to others. He grew up playing baseball and hockey in Canada. He has a ton of potential and still learning and getting used to his 7”4 300 body and the game of basketball. A guy who can skate backwards on ice, and shoot the free throws with that form reveals he has picked up the game very well from where he came from.

OKC next to Chet....

need to go to the sprus

Many people have a blind spot when it comes to Edey IMO here is the upside. 1. Because of his size and strength, he will have to be double-teamed. Here he can pass out to an open player. 2. He will be able to cleanup 2nd chance points on both defense and offense. 3. Because of his size, his teams can stretch the defense to guard the 3 pointer, while Zach guards the interior 4, The style of his team play can be adjusted to his game. And the opponents will be forced to adjust to Edey. 5. If you think that teams can stop him from scoring, you are not seeing just how strong his is. His field goal percentage will be in the 60s. No one knows for sure how Zach will work out. But, the upside could be game-changing. I would love to see Zach on the Spurs or the Thunder and see what a couple of giants can accomplish, having bigs both outside and down low. Also, I think that pro basketball has become so one-dimensional and kind of boring. Maybe Zach could make it a bit more interesting,

In the NBA trial, he made three’s constantly, never missed a beat.

After the NBA combine, many are picking Edey as a late lottery pick.

In a draft of risky 18 year olds who may not contribute soon or even fully develop, Edey offers more short term value than virtually any of the other top big guys. The risk of drafting him is relatively low and potential upside is quite high (if keeping expectations reasonable.)

First off, can his knees hold 300lbs of power on 80% of the 180 possessions a game for 60+ games? The pace is not shaq/yao era anymore.

And you don’t mention him going home to the Raptors… strange They would love some size

The Spurs need to draft him.

Let a team like Nuggets take him and watch out because Nuggets Coach is smarter then most of the nba coaches and media people on YT and he plays to his players strengths

Rockets need him to back up sengun for the future

Would love to see him with the Celtics.

First off guys this size who are plus athletes come around once in a generation. Not guys this size who run and move like they are 7'4" and 300 pounds. Boban is the same size... In terms of hands, he has good hands catching the ball against NCAA defenders who have a hard time bothering him. We saw that's not the case when he was unplayable in any situation against mostly pro level competition at the World Cup. The NBA is not moving away from giants over the past 4 or 5 years its been the opposite, they are moving toward them. They are moving away from giants who can't... Move! They are moving away from big's who can only play at one level. The guy who's going to win the Rookie of the year award is 7'4" the guy who's going to finish second is 7'1" The guy who's going to win MVP is 7' and the guy who'd have finished 1st r second if not for injury is also 7' tall... All those guys can play baseline to baseline on both ends of the floor. Zach can't. Again, scouts are going to keep going back to his FIBA tape.

Thing is Edey is a fast learner. NBA teams can work on hand speed and getting him to be exposive from short range, can even get 3 point coaches like OKC did. Speed can come from endurance, which he will definately get from playing at the NBA level. He's a 7'4" Solid slab of clay, and hes only going to get stronger. you dont get that every year. Easy 1st round pick.

He's gonna be a Grizzly!

Nba ready body, not many bigs have that

Trae Young free agent, Zach E and M Buzelis draft first round, Pat Williams Bulls Free Agent. Starting Line up: Trae, Devin, Pat Williams, Jeremy, Victor ( small ball ) Trae, Devin, Pat Williams,Victor, Zach ( big lineup )

Raptors are the only option for this Canadian boy

the sky hook is impressive no one in the nba uses that shot anymore

Laker with him may contend again. He can slow down the Joker. Nugget better take him for that reason. Lol.

Raptors should draft him

You are describing Karem Jabars game

There was a time that the NBA were trying to stair away from Bigs. But this is a new era and Bigs are becoming way more skilled and the best players in the NBA. The teams that aren’t willing to change with the times will no longer be competitive. We are in an era that Kevin Durant is no longer a unicorn

There are no centers in the league to day that can stay with gaurds in the open court

Rockets should draft Edey so he can work with the Dream and Yao to further develop his big man game. ❤

zach needs to go home to toronto. i dont care what everyone says about this kid in the nba, hes gonna be a star in 3 years. book it!

Just dont let OKC or Spurs get Zach. That will be too much. 😂

He would look good on the nuggets

People said the same BS about Kessler. But look at him now

I'd draft him if I'm the Spurs and have Wemby at the 4.

I'm not sure that the narrator knows what he's talking about? The Indiana Pacers could've used Zach Edey in the 4th quarter last night when they couldn't buy a bucket!

...and what if the Spurs draft him? With Wemby there, his limitations on defense will be erased. People are judging Edey as the number 1 option. I see him as a viable number 3. Wemby - Edey - Vassell - Trae Young - Klay Thompson or Simone Fonteccio archetype player - this is a serious playoff team. Go Spurs Go!!!

Fwiw Purdue coaches think Nuggets would be best place for him because Edey needs shooters and cutters around him and Nuggets have that built in already😊 1) they got the culture 2) they got Jokic to help him become a better passer and he became a good passer last year but can still unlock more from him 3) Malone he doesn’t play players out of place and plays to their strengths

I think you have a massive blind spot here. He doesn’t chase down block and guard aggressively where he could foul someone. Thats because he’s more valuable to the team being on the court. You see him choose his spot. If he isn’t the centerpiece and can guard as aggressively as he wants, his defense will look much different. And that’s by design the way he held back at Purdue. Black swan fallacy where just bc he didn’t do it doesn’t mean he can’t, He’s not lumbering at all. He’ll prove you wrong with his athleticism, I promise you,

Going away from the big? The Magic didn't get that memo,they have 6 bigs.

Is the Joker faster than Zack?

i dont think he would be a fit for OKC as he would clog the lanes preventing shai to drive and wont be able to keep with OKC pace in general

The NBA MVP has been recently won by Jokic and Embid. The top pick is Wemby. Porzingis has the Celtics in 1st. The NBA is not gravitating away from Big men.

Zach Edey will win rookie of the year in the next NBA season

Let's go Celtics

Translation, is he too big for Wembenyama & the Rest of the International players to still remain dominant in games !!!…..

Some team may need to take him just to keep him from going to a competitor. Edey is going to be a foul machine trying to guard the NBA’s elite Centers, but he will crush every 2nd units C. Edey will be taken in the lottery, despite his weaknesses.

Don't get why y'all list him and wemby at 7'4, when he measured 7'3 barefoot, and wemby measured 7'4 barefoot

he'll be s star in fiba setting. euroleague is bettet suited for him

Eddy moves better than Yao Ming did . Yao was a better basketball player . He will be successful with any team with a 10 plus a game assist guy . Luka, Harden, etc….

Look, Jokic has LESS agility and is a complete non-entity on defense. If he can figure out how to impact and be the keystone to a team then Edey can definitely become a factor. He needs someone to coach him into his size. He lets smaller players out muscle him way too often. He can also learn how to distribute and develop more post/midrange moves. He could easily be a 20/10/8 guy.

Grizzlies 🐻

He'll have a place, but not a dominate place. Too slow of foot up and down the court ... also big men can shoot 3's now ... which will be a nightmare for him. In an earlier time when big men only played with their back to the basket, he'd be a No. 1 pick. Not hating ... I'm sure its quite a physical chore to move 300 pounds swiftly that high off the ground.

“These type of player come once a generation” uh, there’s a taller, more mobile guy in San Antonio…

He’s another Big Country. Decent career in a limited role. Make 100 million over 10 years, assuming his knees and joints hold up, than move back to Toronto.

I would draft him and then build my entire team around his low post offense.

Stick to basketball and preach in your church or something. NY Knicks can use Edey !! Basketball is no longer dumping into the big man though so it is a risk to select him !!

The NBA blows with their weird rules. Edey should tell the NBA he doesn't need them and go play in Europe for his entire career.

He was being murdered in the pick a roll why yall think boban dont play and hes good

Spurs don't need another guy who can neither shoot nor defense. That's terrible

Sacramento Kings need to draft Edey to offset their cold shooting streaks. Kings have a problem scoring when they aren't hitting their 3's to the point of losing to bad teams. Kings have no rim protectors and need more rebounding....Sabonis is the only player on the Kings who is able to rebound.

Spurs grab him - The New Twin Towers - Robinson- Duncan Time all over again

Zack is too slow footed, no outside shot, can’t pivot and double pump, NBA point guards and stretch bigs will run circles around him. Maybe he can intern under Golbert and Jokic.

If its even a question to draft this guy in the top 10, you not a coach, you are just a fake mechanic exchanging parts.

Did Boban doing great in NBA? NO? Case closed.

He's not too big. He 'is not' very agile. He'll do fine in the NBA... but I don't think that he'll be a big star.

Edey #1 all the way! Next Yao Ming HOF! Rare to see 7'4" 300 pounds baller!

The NBA is about the flash, and Zack Edey, isnt flashy. He will NOT get drafted... Tacko Fall no 2...

No he’s not as the NBA needs big men but the NBA has feed the “Joker” easy wins by not having anyone in the NBA heavy enough to stay in front of him and on top of that calling foul’s anytime someone plays the Joker physically!!! He’s a good player but he’s (Jokic) is not special at all; Demarcus Cousins could do everything Joker could do but never was put in the same role!! The NBA needs these big guys for big guys as Jokic who’s 300 + while Lakers have AD that’s 250!!!

How is that , Jokic is the same as him

stupid nba recruiter never get the right one , stupidity of NBA all the time

Duh typical American, what about the raptors? He’s from here.

Nuggets is perfect for him

Zach Edey will be a Milwaukee Buck

Edey will start in the NBA not compete for minutes

No hes not The NBA blows with its dumb ass rules they have now.

Rockets can grab him for sure.

F**K what the NBA thinks.....the Bulls should draft him.

Cavs
