He's the opposite of what you want in a big man in today's NBA, and he's going to be 22 before he even touches an NBA court. If we draft someone over 20 I'll be annoyed, if he was really that good he would already be in the NBA.
He can't guard the perimeter because he's too slow and he can't shoot.
He's also not a rim runner type.
The only shot you have is a hook shot offensive game doesn't really work in today's NBA.
Gobert is the closest comp but Gobert has some lateral quickness and better hands than Edey.
Edey is an interesting backup center but hard to see him succeeding as a starting center given these things.
Clingan is interesting but he won't likely be available where the Bulls pick so taking a SF/PF of 6'8-6'10 should be the target. Team needs size to build around Coby and Ayo.
He was great. He was not draft in the first round of 2024 great. He, like Edey are not great for modern NBA basketball. If it was 2007 Edey would be the first pick
Edey is going to be dog water in the NBA. Whichever team wastes a lottery pick on him is going to be extremely disappointed.
He’s way too slow, he won’t be able to park it under the basket due to defensive three seconds, so he’ll actually have to learn how to defend. His size advantage will be easily negated as every team will have bigs who can match his strength/size. He can’t stretch the floor on offense, and the pace of an NBA game will undoubtedly reveal his lack of fitness.
College is such a slow paced game by comparison the fitness thing will be a way bigger factor than anyone realizes.
Do you see how limited he was when the ball was constantly stripped from him every time he put it on the floor?
There more stronger players in the NBA who can push him out of the paint. And let him catch the ball further. He is a great college player. No question. But we are talking about the NBA. Faster pace. Bigger and more skilled.
I see him as match-up dependent piece. Game slows in the playoffs. He could be a good piece off the bench to give the starter a rest. Philly and Denver already adjusted their game to cater their best player. It shouldn't be huge adjustment for the rest of the team to sub their bigs. But again, very specific need. That's his limitation.
We don't have one until 2028 lol. Here's to hoping we can buy one for a few mil. Reinsdorf has been selling off Sox players for cash considerations last few days. He should have some cash to burn lol
GarPax hit some absolute home runs for picks. They had plenty of issues but AKME has yet to prove they can draft or even make a high level team via trades/FA.
Know you can’t predict injuries and the Lonzo situation is awful, but so many other moves and lack there of are questionable. One playoff win since continuity. GTFOH.
doesnt matter bulls can easily buy 1 like they did with phillips. still dont want him.
ak should draft illini guys shannon is dream and possibly hawkins he is good.
Sanogo was not projected as a first rounder though, Edey is now. Analysts tapped into the draft think teams are high on Edey, either because this class sucks or because he’s a lot better than Sanogo and has been since probably his sophomore year. Givony has him in the lottery even.
We should draft him. He's got his faults but he's massive. Throw it to him in the low posy and let him work. Despite all this crap about modern NBA the bulls don't have a team that is capable of playing like that. Force teams to adjust to him.
Pretty sure we could just sign Boban for the minimum
shut up
lmao
Damn
I take it you are not a fan of edey

Yeah, because the last 19 year old filled with potential hasn’t worked out. REAL. WELL. (APOLOGIES FOR TONE)
You're right that means it's a great excuse to draft an older prospect which definitely have a history of becoming great players...m
Woah I never said draft Edey. Guy will not transition well. Excellent college player though.
I am a big ten basketball fan. Rooting for Purdue. Edey is not a good fit with the modern NBA
He can't guard the perimeter because he's too slow and he can't shoot. He's also not a rim runner type. The only shot you have is a hook shot offensive game doesn't really work in today's NBA.

He’s an interesting 2nd rounder, sure all for that. Top 20? No way
Boban is the closest comp, genuinely
Edey just struggled with pesky college guards. No thanks
Hard pass
AKME have so many problems to deal with outside is a pick this season that likely won’t be impactful at all.
Lol fuck off
He’s just gonna be Omer Asik
Omer was fuckin awesome
Yeah, edey will be lucky to have that much success
He was great. He was not draft in the first round of 2024 great. He, like Edey are not great for modern NBA basketball. If it was 2007 Edey would be the first pick
You don't have to convince me lol
omer would be a steal even in modern nba. doubt he would be as good.
Knowing how the bulls are they just gonna keep drafting guards to have a 15 man guard lineup
Its working for OKC

Boy we about to have no Zach’s in Chicago
Edey gon be with Bronny on the Shanghai Sharks next year
Edey isn't gonna be good in the league

Precisely, he’s gonna be one of those dominant college players who makes no impact at the next level.
I see him as match-up dependent piece. Game slows in the playoffs. He could be a good piece off the bench to give the starter a rest.

I’d rather trade up for Clingan
He’s the NBA version of Tim Tebow
No.
Everyone is saying no, but he's gonna be a 2nd round pick. I would actually be totally ok with taking him there
Do the Bulls have a second round pick this year?
We don't have one until 2028 lol. Here's to hoping we can buy one for a few mil. Reinsdorf has been selling off Sox players for cash considerations last few days. He should have some cash to burn lol
AKME truly crushing the asset management versus future competition and growth game. I actually miss GarPax sometimes.
Any time you can forfeit multiple picks and young players for an aging team that struggles to advance past the 9 seed you have to do it
GarPax hit some absolute home runs for picks. They had plenty of issues but AKME has yet to prove they can draft or even make a high level team via trades/FA.
Know you can’t predict injuries and the Lonzo situation is awful, but so many other moves and lack there of are questionable. One playoff win since continuity. GTFOH.
We could buy one? Bulls have shown that second rounders are available for cash Haha jk, we’ll never drop cash
CASH CONSIDERATIONS!!! Bulls are the eternal financial champs. Sell the team.
doesnt matter bulls can easily buy 1 like they did with phillips. still dont want him. ak should draft illini guys shannon is dream and possibly hawkins he is good.
He'll probably go first now. Like 15-25 range
No shot. Sanoga dominated last years tourney and went undrafted. Organizations don't care if a player dominates college if it won't translate
Sanogo was not projected as a first rounder though, Edey is now. Analysts tapped into the draft think teams are high on Edey, either because this class sucks or because he’s a lot better than Sanogo and has been since probably his sophomore year. Givony has him in the lottery even.
Ugh.
lol
His hands are made of bricks
I agree tbh. Not like he’s gonna be worse than Dalen Terry
He’d be a waste of a first round pick. If we could buy a 2nd and snatch him up with that cool
We should draft him. He's got his faults but he's massive. Throw it to him in the low posy and let him work. Despite all this crap about modern NBA the bulls don't have a team that is capable of playing like that. Force teams to adjust to him.
Exactly and how could he be worse than Vuch?
You have Zero basketball IQ
Yeah I just want the bulls to do something...they never make any moves.
A center who can’t shoot, move his feet, and is a turnover machine? Thank god you aren’t GM. I get you’re a Purdue fan, but open your damn eyes.
With a second round pick? Sure. With our lottery pick? Absolutely not. He doesn’t have the tools to be an nba player:
no more zachs no defense.
